7 Months Old!!!

Griffin turned 7 months old over the weekend. Boy, has time flown by.


He is really on the verge of crawling and is still just a happy little kid with spikey hair.


He thinks it's pretty cool to stand up. Avery better watch out!

And of course, I had to throw in some pics of my favorite girl. And one of her playing with my favorite toy growing up (little people!)!

Easter and Things

Yes, Easter was a week ago. But it took us this long to recover.

We went to an Easter Egg Hunt at a place where I went when I was a kid. I'm not saying where because it was lame and Avery got jipped. Here is Avery attempting to run and get some eggs before a deluge of kids engulfed her and she wasn't able to bend down and pick up ANY eggs. That's right, she got nothing.



Luckily there was a playground nearby...



What Easter Egg Hunt?



Griffin is getting a little anxious to play on the playground as well.


"Oh, well. Maybe when I'm older."


And then the piece de resistance...Easter. The Easter Bunny came to our house and came to Grandma Elley's too. He left a lot more eggs at Grandma Elley's house for some reason.






And then a bunch of relaxing and releasing of one's energy to round out the day.








Stay tuned...crawling will be happening any day now.

Milestone Week

We're a week or two behind, but Griffin has had several milestones lately. Just one day after his 6-month birthday, he decided to bust out a tooth. The next day he sat up for the first time. And then less than a week later- he busted out another tooth. We'll post pics of the tooth as soon as they show a little better.

Here are some pics of him practicing his sitting up skills.

6 Months Old!

Griffin 6 months = Avery 9 months. Yes, that's right. At 6 months, Griffin is roughly the same size (actually a little bigger) than what Avery was at 9 months. Maybe it's a boy thing.

He is getting real close to sitting up by himself and he really wants to crawl. He's just a happy little baby- even after getting his 6-month shots yesterday. Avery saw first hand what that was like- she was a big help.

Sorry the photos are a little weird. The battery on our good camera died. We'll post some new ones later.

The old homestead

Weather was wonderful last weekend so we took a trip out to the old homestead. First we had to make a few silly faces. Then we were off.

The minute we opened the door of the van Lucy ran straight for the door, sat down and waited to be let in. I guess she remembers the place.

The flowers also came out to say hello.
