On The Run!

Today we tried out the jogging stroller for the first time. We had to wait on his head and neck strength. He is still a little small but it didn't seem to bother him. Yeah! Hopefully this will lead to some future races together. Let's hope so. "Watch Out Here Comes Griffin and His Mommy!!"
Aren't these little piggy's so cute? He always has them crossed and it's one memory I never want to forget!

Memorial Day Surprise!!

We had a surprise visit from one of my dearest friends Angie. She and Griffin had fun playing on the floor. She also got to feed him which is one of Griffin's favorite times!

"Thanks for spending time with me Angie!" "Come back real soon!" Love, Griff

First Day

Yesterday was my first day back to work it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do! I cried numerous times. By the end of the day I had stressed myself out so badly that I had the most horrible headache! I thought JV was going to have to take me to the ER because I thought it might be more than a headache.
I was nauseous and very weak. When I got home I just held Griffin and cried.

Today was much better I didn't even call home. I figured out that the best thing to do was to not even know what he was doing. I know he is in good hands with my dad but It still tugs at my heart tremendously! So the less I know the better my day will go. I'm sure with time I will only get better. I knew it would be hard but not this hard! What can I say I love being a mommy!!!

3mo


My Dearest Griffin,
You have changed so much! You continue to get all these cute little rolls every where! I like to call them my little rubber bands. You still love to eat you are up to 6oz every four hours. You still get upset when I take the bottle out before you are finished. Everyone says you have to choose your battles when you are a parent and this battle you have won. I don't burp you until the whole six ounces are finished. I knew I would have to choose my battles but not this soon:)
You are now holding your head up with out mommy's help.
You love to stand up but of course mommy helps still
You love to talk and just yesterday you yelled out loud and followed it with a laugh. Your papa Chick and I just laughed along with you.
You are liking a bath more and more.
You love to play with your little drum that sings.
You new favorite book is Brown Bear Brown Bear.
Your eyes are still blue but might change to brown. Nana Kat thinks they will.
You have started to droll and chew on your tongue or cheek something in your mouth. Mommy keeps checking for teeth your cousin Foster got them at 4mo. So far no sign.
All in all you are the most amazing thing and I want to cherish every moment! I love you little one! More than words can say!

Busy Weekend












This past weekend was Mother's Day weekend and then also My birthday. We went and visited my grandmother at her house and had a big family get together. Then we got surprised my my friend Crissy and her son Noah the very next day with a birthday lunch for me! The boys were so cute together! I'm so lucky to have friends so close to have these special play dates! Griffin seems to like them too! Thanks to both of you for the yummy CHIC-FILA! MY FAVORITE!

Giggles for Papa John


Pappa John and Nana Jan




John Van's dad and step mom came to visit Griffin for the first time! He lives so far away so he doesn't get to visit as much as he would like. I'm so glad he waited till now because Griffin has such a great personality. We had such a good visit and look forward to the next one! Love you two and miss you bunches!

Austin Time!!!

Today John Van had a business meeting at the beach so Griffin and I packed the car up and Spent the Day with Amanda and Austin. This was our first official play date with the boys! We had so much fun even though they slept the majority of the time. That gave Amanda and I some time to catch up. Max (her loving poodle) was fun too! Although, Griffin didn't seem to think so. Max's Bark seemed to scare him and the little bottom lip popped out along with a big cry. Austin I'm sure thought "I'm not sure about this new friend of mine It's just Max!"

All in all we had a terrific time. It went by so fast. It's amazing how time fly's when you live by the clock. Today was not only JV'S birthday it was also Amanda and Ty's 3rd Anniversary!
So Happy Anniversary to you Guys!!!

Happy Birthday!!!


Happy Birthday Daddy!!

I love you so much and I can't wait till I get to blow out the candles like you! I love my daddy time with you! Mommy tells me everday that I look like you and I am glad because I want to be just like you. I love you very much GRIFFIN
