Griffin has been really cute lately, but he is a little camera-shy, so I can never get the greatest shot of his sweet little dimples. Whenever I get the camera out he gets so distracted by it that he forgets to pose for me so he ends up giving me these deer in headlights looks...


GG and Pop came to visit over the past few days. It was so nice to have them here and they even babysat for us on Monday so that Blake and I could go on a date- ahhhh!!! It was so nice!

Here is GG playing with Griffin. He loved being bounced on the bed. He is starting to laugh more and more- it's so cute! His smiles are pretty easy to get, but you have to be pretty special to get a big ole laugh!

Griffin is not so sure about playing airplane. I am sure that sooner than later he is gonna love it- IF we can still hold him over our heads (what a chunk!)

Great shot with the grandparents:

Here he is so fresh and so clean just after a bath. I love this little frog towel!

Here's a dimple shot!

He has also started playing a little peek-a-boo. I don't think he really knows what he is doing just yet, but were getting there.


Also- if you have ever tried to leave a comment before and weren't able to- try again. I have changed some settings so hopefully it will let you. I'd love to know when people are sneaking a peek at our blog!

We are sure to have some really fun pictures next week b/c our big President's Day weekend is coming up. We have lots of friends coming in town this weekend and I will be passing Griffin around to get some love from everybody. That means lots of photo ops!!

So, stay warm and we'll see you next time!

So, what did you do this weekend?

I ROLLED OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VISITORS!!!

This week has flown by! We had lunch with friends in Lawrenceville, a doctor's appointment, playgroup at our house, and the very best thing that happened this week was a visit from Uncle Ryan, Aunt Ashley, Bennett and Gray! We LOVED having them up! Come back soon guys!!

Here are some pictures of their visit:

Griffin is already learning to share...

We tried for a posed shot, but Griffin looks like Humpty Dumpty and Bennett was too interested in the TV.... better luck next time!

This would have been a cute picture if the camera had focused on both babies...

This is what it looks like when Gray gets a kiss from her big brother... hang in there Gray, atleast there aren't 3 of them :)

Bennett LOVES playing Guitar Hero with Uncle Blake... correction, Bennett loves watching Uncle Blake play Guitar Hero and pretending to play along.

I can't figure out why this picture won't download completely. But it was too cute not to share...
This is what you get when you ask Bennett to smile. What a cool dude :)

Last night Griffin and Blake were having some father-son time and I caught these pics. I love these pictures. Griffin looks like he is just totally in the moment. He LOVES his daddy!

Check up

So, the doctor's appointment went very well this morning. Griffin is a stellar patient- the cutest that they have ever seen! Here are his stats...
Weight: 17 lbs. 2.5 oz. (82%)
Height: 26" (79%)
Head Circumference: 16.5" (34%)

Keeping in mind that 50% is average, our boy is big and tall... AND it even looks like he is bucking the big-head Griffin family trait!!

Other than that, Griffin continues to amaze us daily. He is smiling and interacting more than ever! Come and visit to see him in action!

Four Months old!!!

I cannot believe that my baby is 4 months old. Time has really flown and this boy has REALLY grown. I'll be sure to post the official stats next week after our visit to the doctor, but trust me, he is really getting big.

Here are some pictures of Griffin at four months and at one month. I'm afraid that we will have to upgrade to a new carseat sooner than later :)

Best Dad ever...

Blake built Griffin a toy box for all of the millions of toys that I am sure the will accrue over the next several years of his life (thanks in large part to grandparents that are sure to spoil him rotten :)

He did a great job - there are no nail holes or sharp edges!! Who knew that he was a master carpenter? Here is the finished product...

You can see the enthusiasm in Griffin's face - he loves it!

Were you wondering how big it is? Allow Blake to demonstrate...

Really he built it so that he would have a top secret hiding spot for hide and go seek. Allow him to demonstrate again...

We also bought a new carrier from a mom in the neighborhood. Once the weather warms up, we'll be taking this baby to hike some trails in North GA. Come on Spring!!! In the pic below, Blake was testing it out while he threw the ball for Millie.

I have some good lookin' men in my life, don't you think?

Just a few pics

Time is flying! Griffin will turn 4 months old on Tuesday and he is getting more and more animated and fun everyday. He is reaching for toys, putting things in his mouth, getting closer and closer to sitting up, rolling over and just being the most awesome baby ever. He is laughing, cooing, ahhing, gooooing, saying his ABCs... ok, maybe not, but he is super smart and is learning so fast! He is amazing.

Griffin has been really fun in the bathtub lately. He is kicking and splashing like crazy. Good thing he is enjoying himself because bathtime has gotten a little longer with all of those rolls to clean :)

Multi-tasking.

This is Griffin 90% of the time that we put him in his carseat. This has meant many enjoyable outings for mom and dad.

Chillin' with dad.

I call this "on my level"

Staring contest.

And we have saved the best for last: A video of the little guy laughing. It seems his favorite place in the world is on his changing table. So this is sometimes the best place to catch Griffin in a great mood. Enjoy!
