Basketball star
This is Griffin's 2nd year playing ROAR b'ball. Kenny is the assistant coach and they have had a great time. Last year was a test run to see if Griffin even liked basketball and he did a pretty good job but didnt' really grasp the game. This year he has height on his side and he is understanding the fundamentals of the game. His dribbling and shooting skills are improving each week. I think with some practice and a little extra coaching from Dad he can be a basketball star...GO EAGLES!!
Photo of the Day:Liquid Gold
I am trying to take a photo every day this year to remember all the little things that make our life complete. So far, we have had lots of interesting moments caught on film.. I am going to try and post as many of them as possible to share little glimpses of our life that might otherwise go unnoticed.
This is the all too familiar site for any breastfeeding mom...the liquid gold, the mommy milk...Right after I pump, it usually sits on the table while I tend to some other task. Then I carefully store it in the fridge for a bottle that day or freeze it for a later date.

Snow Day!
Julia's 1st snow day...It snowed like this when Griffin was about this age too! Griffin had a blast bundling up and playing in the snow... We even ate a bowl of snow for breakfast! Julia had so many layers on that she could barely move but she didn't cry like Griffin did. It was such a beautiful day but it didn't last very long.
Baby Talk
Julia's personality is really starting to shine! She is so alert and cute right after I feed her, giving us lots of smiles and cooing and some funny babbling! Her face just lights ups when she smiles and it warms my heart!!

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!!

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!!
