Happy Little Guy!

Need I say More!

18 months old!

Finally updating the blog, Griffin is talking more and more everyday. No words are safe! He is putting 2 and 3 words together. He carried on a conversation with Andrew on the cell phone the other day it was pretty cute. Andrew went snowmobiling a few weekends back and Griffin and I made a cake for Andrew's birthday. He was great! Check out the videos, I loved how he would move his head when he was mixing the batter. Too funny! He has become quite the little helper around the house. He loves to help with dinner and do the dishes.

He has gotten 2 molars so far this month and there are 2 others on there way. You can also see his 2 bottom teeth coming in. So now he will have 4 on the bottom and 4 on the top. The molars have been giving him a real hard time. Mild fever, runny nose and just uncomfortable, poor guy. On top of everything he managed to catch a little cold, from me, I know I am a terrible mother. But he is a trooper, he isn't letting it hold him back. We go for his 18 month check up Friday. Yes today he turned 18 months, we can hardly believe it. We are hoping that he has gained a few pounds but with his recent teething his appetite is hit or miss. We shall see.

Update Finally

Griffin is a running machine, he is all over the place and into everything. He is a little helper at daycare and home. He is talking up a storm putting little phrases together. And repeating a lot, like a little parrot. Thankfully they are all acceptable words! Here are a few pictures. He has gotten taller, he can now reach all the drawers in the the kitchen along with the door knobs, not quite tall enough to open them but he tries.

We took this picture last night while he was talking on the webcam to my mom in CT.

Our daycare provider sent us this picture, he put did this all by himself and was saying

"Go Car with Daddy" He is very into Andrew's snowmobile, he says it goes Vroom, Vroom.

Goodbye Snuggies

We had a great playdate with Becky and Lucy last night. The kids were all over the place I wasn't able to take any good pictures. But this was Griffin giving Lucy a snuggie goodbye. Lucy is not an overly affectionate girl, but she was good about her snuggie.

Isn't her raincoat adorable?

Tuesday February 17th

Wow this weekend went by fast. It was pretty uneventful. Saturday Andrew and I installed our new garage door opener. I know very romantic! Griffin went for his first snowmobile ride around the yard. He enjoyed the ride but didn't like sitting on it when it wasn't going. So we think the noise was too much for him. Sunday Andrew's parents stopped by on their way home. Griffin was able to have some "Poppa time" so he was happy. And Monday Griffin and I hung out and played with his tunnel and firehouse. Griffin has 2 molars coming in so he isn't sleeping all that well but we are managing. Last weekend we had a playdate with Alyssa. They snuggled on Lyssa's couch and watched TV while enjoying a snack. It was so cute to see them playing. Alyssa is a take charge gal and Griffin seemed to do ok with it. They are going to be a lot of fun together this summer.

Back to Health!

Finally Griffin is back to his silly and happy self. Best of all he has his appetite back. He had lost 1.5 lbs while he was sick so we will try to get him bulked up again.

We were finally able to get outside this past weekend.

Andrew's dad was up and we all went snowshoeing

on the lake and pulled Griffin in his sled.

The weather was beautiful.

Sunday we went to Massachusetts for Catherine's christening.

It was a long day and Griffin was wiped by Sunday Night!

We are looking forward to the long weekend.

Griffin's daycare is closed on Monday so it is

going to be a Mommy and Griffin day!

The story of the never ending flu

Griffin has been fighting the flu for the past 2 weeks. He has given it to me and Andrew. What can we say he likes to share! Today he is finally almost back to his normal self. Still a little clingy but almost there. We never made it outside to go sledding last weekend but maybe Saturday. Here is a picture from daycare with all his buddies. It seems like one boy is looking for treasure!
