Thank you everyone for your help.
I took some excedrin before the party and wa sable to avoid the headache that I usualy get with these functions.
Garrett did need some soothing right after everyone arrived. He wouldn't let anyone hold him. Then after I got him some juice and set him on the floor, he did real well. Everyone was eating and so he was able to aproach them on his own terms.
He was held by almost everyone. But he had to instigate it. he didn't want to be handed to anyone. Once everyone figured that out we just let him crawl to everyone on his own terms. It was so cute he would crawl over climbe up the pant legs and reach up. Then when he was done he would squirm and reach down when he wanted to go. I think the initial hubub of everyone at once scared him a little.
He got startled when he grabed his cake. Everyone laughed and then he looked up realising he was the center of attention, and cryied. after his sisy took his hand to lick it off and then offerd him his own had he warmed up to digging in to his cake.
It turns out that I was worried abluot the mingling for no reason the only people that showed up from My family were my parrents and my Uncle Steve. Noone else from my family came. My husbands family all showed and our friends, even the ones whos priemy, Connar, just came home came. I'm disappointed that my family didn't even call to tell me they wouldn't show. Oh well we had a great time and so did the little man.
Thank you for all the help.
