He's 13 Months Old!!!

Such a boy!


He'll put his arms up like this and then slam then down (making a lot of noise in the process).


He's a walking fool now! :)


Barrett and Mommy




Barrett continues to amaze. Friday night he went to the local football game with Ben and then Saturday I took him to the MSU tailgate, then shopping, then out to lunch (and he never fussed the whole time). By the time we got home later that afternoon he slept for about 3 to 3 and a half hours to make up for the missed morning nap. What a trooper. Saturday night we decided to head up to Ben's grandma's for one last night and day (Sunday) out on the lake. We spent Sunday soaking up some last minute rays and swimming a bit. I forgot my camera, though, so sorry...no pics. It was a nice relaxing day. I kept thinking about how crazy it was to be swimming in October! The only thing that gave the season away were the trees across the lake that had various colors. It was such a busy, but nice weekend.
