Here’s a link to lots and lots of photos of a Garvin family reunion in North Carolina recently:

Garvin Family Reunion

… Art had hair?(12/18/05)

Yes, that is a carrot in Art’s hands. He’s not eating it, really. He’s just gumming it. He appears to be teething – drooling, rash on his chin, biting things, crankiness – and gnawing on a cold carrot is supposed to be soothing for him. It seems to work. It’s definitely funny to watch!

Ben spliced together some recent footage of Art laughing, drooling, and standing. He’s four months old now!

My sister discovered that areas on Art’s clothes that have screenprinting don’t get soaked by Art’s constant spitting-up and drooling so she made Art a spittle-repellant onsie by stencilling a bib on it. She’s very crafty. She also made me this shirt when I was pregnant and didn’t have anything left that fit me.

  

  

When my sister and I went to IKEA yesterday to get Art a high chair I brought Art, a sling, a burp cloth and a diaper. That was it. IKEA has a diaper dispenser in the family restroom and when I put Art in a disposable it never leaks so I figured I was set. Except I forgot that he was due for a poop. Let’s just say we came into IKEA with a baby wearing a long-sleeve shirt, overalls and socks and left with a baby in a long-sleeve shirt.
