Dad (Brett)
All around rockstar geek. Brett enjoys his job as a Clinical Data Manager (helping research medical breakthroughs at Celgene); in his time off he enjoys reading books, watching movies, and learning new tricks on his camera and in Photoshop. He absolutely adores his wife and 2 daughters.

Mom (Erin)
Complete supermom. Erin loves her job as a Youth Field Researcher (aka 'mother'); in her plentiful spare time (ha!) she enjoys sleeping, re-reading Twilight or Harry Potter, and cuddling with Brett.

Aeriana ('Wacko', 'Princess')
Hybrid Angel/Devil. Aeriana loves her mommy and daddy, each of whom she loves to test at times and pretend innocence at others. A veritable sponge, Aeriana wants to do anything she sees an adult doing; she loves babies and especially adores her little sister, taking great care of her every need.

Zoe Jean ('Stinker', 'Cutie')
Growing fast, Zoe wants to be just like her big sister. Very goal oriented, she'll find a way to get that toy she's been looking at. She loves her pacifier and can't help but snuggle up to her blanket. Zoe is as relaxed as they come, she just loves chillin' out and watching TV.

The Chronicles of The Chunkster - Part 3

Aeriana hasn't been feeling super well lately, so just to be on the safe side we took her to see the doctor today. It looks like just basic reflux problems so we're going to monitor her feeding and see how it goes, but we were able to get her weighed while we were there. She's 14 lbs 5 oz... she has almost doubled her birth weight in just 3 1/2 months. She is pretty dang chubby, but very cute.

As Erin mentioned a couple of posts down, Aeriana can stand all by herself. She still doesn't sit up on her own, but well... she's a Garner, who said logical order played any part in it? She's also discovered her long-lost love, her thumb. She's pretty much given up on the pacifier, i guess it just doesn't give the same satisfaction that an ever-present thumb can give.

She's getting much better with the Bumbo seat... though she's still quite partial to being held by mommy or daddy.

We took Aeriana to the Museum of Natural History last weekend with our friends Matt and Renee; I'm not sure if she cared at all, but I certainly enjoyed the Mickey Mouse molecular structure of some impossibly named crystal. We're definitely a Disney family.

Out of all of the cool things we saw at the museum, I think Aeriana was most interested in the lights on the ceiling. I guess it's nothing to complain about, having such an easy-to-please baby... then again ten minutes later she got bored with the ceiling and screamed her way through the rest of our visit.

We're also loving the warm weather and have been starting to go for more walks. Aeriana looks like a rock star in her sunglasses and hat.

Par for the course, it's not too long before she wants to be held. She sure does love her mommy.

Oh My Gosh!!!! She is beautiful - she looks so cute standing up and going in the stroller with her cool sunglasses, but my very favorite is her sucking her thumb. It makes her look so soft and cuddly and makes me want to hold her so bad. . . (only 25 more days, but who's counting).
