Griffin's 6th birthday

Ok...catching up on some of the events from December: Griffin's birthday, Christmas, School choral performance, etc.

Griffin's 6th birthday was a LEGO party here at home. We played several LEGO games and all the boys got LEGO cars to put together. The cake was shaped like LEGO blocks and was a bit hit! Here are some highlight photos from a fun day!

Griffin's 3rd tooth

At our recent dentist visit we discovered that Griffin has 6 loose teeth!! We told him not to lose them all at once or he would be eating Jello and pudding for a while! #3 came out last Friday morning right before breakfast. Griffin came downstairs and said that the tooth was bothering him so he reached into his mouth and pulled it out! Of course, I grabbed the camera to document it and the photo I got is too funny not to share...



I think he is still in shock over pulling it out himself!!

The Littlest Panthers Fan

OK.. so putting the hat on Julia did not bring the Panther's any luck but it's still a funny picture! Better luck next year!!

Julia at 2 months...has it really been 2 months??

I can't believe my baby is already 2 months.. WOW the time has flown by and I have loved every single second.. even those middle of the night feeding and the crying fits! She is just so cute that I seem to overlook all that stuff!

Some 2 month highlights:

1. LOTS of smiling and cooing.. I am not sure if the amount of cooing is an indication of how talkative she will be but she sure is vocal!!

2. Holding her head up...still needs support but she is really working hard!

3. Moved up to size 2 diapers

4. Sleeping through the night in 5 hour stretches...YEAH!!

5. Still trying very hard to get her thumb and loves the pacifier at nap and bedtime.

6. Has discovered the TV..not my choice but Daddy is happy!



We put her in the Bumbo seat this weekend to see if she liked it and she did!!

Julia at 6 weeks

Wow! Where has the time gone? It is hard to believe that only 6 weeks ago we were celebrating the birth of our precious Julia Rose!! She has changed so much in 6 short weeks and I can't believe how easy she has been so far. Griffin is such a loving and protective big brother and helps me attend to all of her baby needs. He is curious about all things baby and loves to entertain her!

At 6 weeks she is reaching some cute milestones: smiling in response to us, cooing when we talk to her, following us with her eyes as we move around the house, grabbing for things with her long little fingers and growing like a weed!

"Six" Milestones

Yesterday Julia turned 6 weeks old so we wanted to document the day because both children are "6". Griffin thought that was really neat that they had a "6" connection! Here is a photo of him holding Julia...something he is very excited to do a lot these days unless she starts to cry (See photo #2!)

Look alikes???
