Traveling Fools and Photos

Wow, it's been a long time!

I keep wanting to write everything on here...where we've been, what we've been doing...then I get overwhelmed with what all I will have to write.

So, I'll start here...we have been traveling fools. Griffin has now been in 20 states, insane, huh?? I will give more details about our travels shortly (I hope). We have been able to see lots of friends and family. It's been great being able to introduce Griffin to everyone!

The main point of this post though is to share with you Griffin's 6 month photos. We got them done last week with an awesome photographer and old friend of mine. She does amazing work! The online gallery will be available for two weeks, so check out the pics now. It's going to be so hard to pick which we want to purchase, I just love them all!! If anyone needs a photographer in Indiana, contact Leslie, she's great!

Quick update...

Griffin just pooped in the bath for the first time tonight.

:P

And here are some new tummy time pics...

Craziness

More to come, but just wanted to say...Griffin is three months old!  CRAZY!  

Updates...

Again, it's been a while...

Griffin is growing so much!  We went to his 2 month appointment last Monday and he weighted 11 lbs 10 oz and was 24.25 inches long.  He's grown almost 5 inches since he was born...crazy!  

At this appointment, he also got 4 shots and an oral vaccine.  I don't think he felt too well after these, as he was not a happy camper for a couple days after.  Poor guy.  He's doing a lot better now though and is sleeping really well too.  Last week there was a night he slept 8 hours straight!  Unfortunately I had a hard time sleeping then.  I woke up after 2 hours and was up for 4 hours, then back down for another hour and a half.  How is a 2.5 month old sleeping better than I am?!?  I guess I won't complain too much...hopefully he'll keep this up and I'll train myself to be a better sleeper.  :)

More updates:

Griff rolled over today for the first...second, and third time.

He was in his first parade on Sunday.

He's outgrowing most of his clothes.

He's smiling and responding to people more and more.

We started going to a "Play Together, Learn Together" group last week.  First class didn't go so well, but second went a lot better.

And as far as internship, we're moving to Tacoma, Washington!  One corner of the country to the other...crazy!

And now for some pictures...

All dressed up for his first play group...

Lots of tummy time pictures...

After a successful playgroup...

After roll...

GREAT NEWS!!!

GREAT NEWS...I got matched to an internship site.  I don't yet know which one/ where, I will find that out on Monday, but at least I know I've been matched!  Phew...what a relief!  I feel like the past couple years my life has been somewhat on hold.  Looking back, I realize that I have had some great experiences...ones that will really help me in the future, it's just been a little tough seeing the positive aspects of it all.  Everything is really starting to fall into place though.  People always say, "Everything happens for a reason."  I think that can be such a frustrating thing to hear, but then I have moments like this where I really believe it.  Who knows where we'd be right now if everything had happened as I planned?  I am so thankful for where we are at now...especially with our amazing little guy, Griffin!

On that note, here are some more pics.  I decided to see if G could sit in his bumbo chair the other day and I thought he looked adorable, so there are several pics of that, then there are a couple others.  Enjoy!

Lots of Pictures and Updates...

It's been a little while since the last post...

Griffin went on his first mini vacation.  He, Mimi, Gramps, Mommy and Daddy went to Key West for a night.  He was sooo good.  He loves traveling and being outside.  He is so tolerant with sounds and was even comfortable and content in bar/restaurants in Key West that had live music.  He definitely takes after both parents.  :)   

Here are a couple pics of the Key West trip...

Bad glare on this one, but I thought I'd post it anyway...

Griffin taking his first bottle (of breastmilk)...

Griff's dollar at Willie T's...

Mmmm, good lunch!...

Southernmost Point...

Griffin also had an exciting night recently, at home with Mimi and Gramps watching the Superbowl, rooting for the Steelers.  

This past weekend, Griffin helped to celebrate Martina's 30th birthday and he also got to meet Beth!  Here are some pictures from the weekend...

Here is his first smile caught on camera--ADORABLE!!!...

He looks so cute in the hat that Grandma Z made for him...

Here I think he is praying that Beth comes to visit him lots and lots and brings her beautiful daughter, Kiley, for him to play with...

And today, for Gramps 65th birthday, Griffin got to go to the beach for the first time.  Of course, I have the trip documented with pictures.  :)

Here he was being super cute and smiling at me.  He also cooed for the first time!  I think he was telling me he liked the beach...

Then he became a little more serious...

Besides all this fun, Griff also had a doctor's appointment this week.  It was his one month visit.  He has grown like a weed!  He went from 7 lbs 15 oz at his two week appointment to 9 lbs 12 oz!  And he grew from 20.5 inches to 22.75 inches!  The doctor was amazed at how much he has grown.  Everything else with the doctor was fine.  He is doing great and is perfectly healthy.  I am so thankful for how great of a little boy we have!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and update.  Leave comments.  :)
