Garrett has gotten so big

Garrett has gotten so big in just 6 months. Here a few pictures from when we met him in Korea until now.

6 months this week

I can hardly believe it will be 6 months this week that we have been home Garrett.

March 27th seems like it was just yesterday. Garrett amazes us everyday. I was just looking at our pictures of him in Korea last week he has grown so much. I really want to get some pictures up to show his changes over the last 6 months. I'll try and work on that this week.

Garrett is doing really well at daycare. He is unfortunately starting yet another transition. Garrett has one last week in the infant room. Last week he started the transition to move to the toddler room. It make me so sad to see him have to go through another transition. Garrett has been doing pretty good with the transition. The biggest change is he now has to take his naps on a cot. He did pretty good falling asleep but took very short naps. He was a bit cranky after daycare last week. We expect more of the same this week. He loves playing with the toddlers. He will spend alot more time in the toddler room this week. He will officially be in his new room Sept 29th. He is ready for the next room Mom and Dad aren't so ready.


Other fun news from the Scott Family:
We are officially starting the process for number 2. I guess you can call it paper chasing. We got our reapplication packet in the mail 1 1/2 weeks ago. There is lots of paperwork in the reapplication packet. Some of it we can copy from our prior application. It's a little challenging to get the paperwork done now that we have a little one running around. We have been working on it a little bit each night after Garrett goes to sleep. We hope to have it back in to the agency in the next couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes. The updating of our self studies is what is taking so long. We have all new questions to answer.

Have a great week.

Garrett's First State Fair

All the excitment wore Garrett out!

Final Days of Summer

Wow where did the weekend go?

I got to spend 4 days straight days with Garrett. We had so much fun. I'm going to go through withdrawal on Monday. :-(

Friday daycare was closed so I took the day off and we went shopping. I love the Carter's store in albertville. We go lots of good fall stuff. The hard part tho is Garrett is right smack in the middle of 12 months and 18 months. Tops he can wear 18 months. He needs to wear 12 month pants for a little longer now that he is walking. We stocked up on a little of both sizes. We did get lucky and the pants I bought for him last winter/spring fit perfectly now. Yay! It is soooo cute watching him toddle around in jeans. There is just more fabric he has to carry around.

Last week we tuned in our 5 month final post placement report to our agency and our adoption decree. It was so neat to write about all the new things Garrett has started to do since our 3 month post placement report. He has changed so much in just 2 months. We are now done with all the agency paperwork for Garrett. Now we need to work on getting him a passport, social security number and his Certificate of Citizenship.

Now the fun beings all over again. I'm going to call one of the Korea team member this week to find out what wait times are looking like. If it's a longer wait we are going to get our reapplication this week. We can't have another placement until march of next year. In reality that will never happen. We would be lucky to be on the waiting list in the beginning of the year. We then would expect 9-12 month wait for a referral. That would work out perfect for us. But who know maybe God has other plans again.:-)

Here are some photos from the weekend.

Garrett had lots of fun playing at the park and going to the state fair. He also got his third hair cut.


Garrett's favorite tunnel.


Garrett loves to slide down this tunnel and then climb back up it.
