Day Care

Mr. Serious!

Well this is his first week going full days. Monday wasn't the best day. Griff had only taken 2.5 oz as of early afternoon and was totally refusing it, but then finally gave in around 4 and took another 2.5 oz. The pediatrician said that it is okay if he doesn't take a bottle during the day as long as he makes up for it at night. And that he did. But he did sleep real well at night, only got up for 1 feeding. So I finally was able to catch up on a little sleep.

So we will see what today holds. When I called at ten he was just waking up and she hadn't tried to feed him yet. I haven't heard anything yet and it has been 3 hours so I am thinking positive.

Just some pictures

The boy loves to be naked.

He loves to blow bubbles. I think it's time for a bib.

These pajamas are so cute.

Thanks Kathleen!

Papa trying to give Griffin a Bottle. Looks like Griff tired out Grammie!

Play Date with Greydan and Francis

Here are a few pictures from Griffin's first playdate. This is his cousin's Greydan who is 2 and a half weeks younger and Francis who is 15 months. They are both about the same size. Griffin has some growing to do!

His eyelashes are all curly. He is so sweet.

Francis was such a good big cousin she shared her toys and

was very gentle with the boys.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Bottle Drama

Let's Go PATS

The saga goes on. The little guy is still not a big fan of the bottle. But we are making progress he will now take it without screaming (most of the time) He takes anywhere from 1-3 oz. before he has had enough. I am going back to work on Dec 31st so we will see how he does at daycare. The first week it is only half days. He is such a cutie I am going to be lost without him.
He is sleeping a little better. He nods off during the day but still for only 20-30 minutes.
He now weighs 12 lbs 9 oz. and is growing like a weed. We have packed away all his 0-3 clothes (maybe for the next one) and he is now in his 3-6. He loves his hands and you rarely find him without them in his mouth.

These are two pictures from the many times we tried to take a picture for his Christmas card.

Grumpy Baby

Griffin went for his 2 month check up last Tuesday. He now weighs 11 lbs 8 oz and is 22 inches long. His head has also grown 2 inches, no surprise there! He had to get 4 shots and was not a happy camper. He also had a touch of the stomach bug last week. It was a rough week for our little guy. Griffin and I are still trying to recover from losing plenty of needed rest.

He isn't' sleeping as much as I would like (only about 8-9 hours a day) but the Dr said that he is not concerned because he is still a very happy baby. Luckily he sleeps mostly at night. He is also not taking a bottle anymore. That is an issue that we have been trying to rectify for the past few weeks. (We have tried everything, I mean everything) The pediatrician suggested trying a sippy cup. That wasn't a big hit either. We are not giving up though but the countdown has begun because Griffin starts daycare in January when I go back to work.

He is a talker, this picture was taken mid story. They are long and full of laughs. I will try to video one and post it.
