John Herrick's Visit

John Van's cousin John Herrick came into to town from Arkansas! We tried out indigo Joes for the first time it was pretty good.

We then headed back to the house had to have some Griffin time.!

First Cereal Feeding

This Picture I thought was so cute. His facial expression is just like him.
I also love all the cereal on his face!

Yumm! He ate pretty good for the first time. Of course I think he would eat anything you put in his mouth! He takes after his parents when it comes to eating. Maybe he will stay that way!

Not only was it the first time that he ate cereal it was also his first time in his high chair.

Chunky Monkey Legs!

Look at these sweet YUMMY legs! Couldn't you just eat them up?

Sunday Fun!

Today was a very busy day full of exciting times! I woke up and headed for the beach to see one of Griffin's favorite buddy's Austin. Today Austin got baptized and boy was he a good baby. It one of those sweet times. Of course now being a mommy you cry at every event. He was such a cutie and again sorry I don't have any pics.

Later on today we went to two birthday parties. Both precious girls Lizzie and Weatherly. Lizzie turned 3 and Weatherly turned 1. Fun Fun Fun! Both girls are getting so big. Griffin had lots of fun and sends a sweet thank you for the invites.

Congrats to Gail

Our good friend Gail got married today ! She was so pretty and very very excited and happy. It was Griffin's first reception. He did great! He was a very sleepy baby. DeAnn and Kelli got some great sugars and Kelli got to hold him while he slept in her arms. He was a little angel.
I am so glad he likes to be in the crowd. He did good we only stayed one hour and had to get back to get ready for bath and bed!

Sleep Overat Dee and Pops

It was a sleep over but John Van and myself stayed as well. We had a huge fraternity function and it was the first time we stayed out passed 10pm since Griffin joined our lives! Which is fine with me I am not a night owl. Instead of taking him home with us we let him sleep in the pack-n-play and we stayed in the next room with the monitor close by. He didn't sleep very well. He woke up in the middle of the night and I think he got scared and didn't know where he was. We will try again soon. I can't leave him quite yet. My favorite part of the day is in the morning when I get to go in the nursery peek my head over the crib railing and see that great big smile before I start my day. Can you blame me?
Baby steps for mommy! Sorry there are no pics it was a busy night. We got to see a lot of friends we haven't seen in a while.

The Latest

Dear Griffin,

You turned 4 months on Daddy Day! I am so amazed at how much you have changed!
You now talk none stop like you are telling us a story! You have different tones throughout the whole story. When you do start to really talk your stories will be so animated!
You roll over now but only on your terms and it's only happened twice with me and once with your Dee when she was giving you a bath.
You love to sleep on your tummy!
You squeal now when you get excited
Usually it takes very little to amuse you. Sometimes I will lay you on the floor and walk off to get something and that's when you talk the most!
You still love to lay on your back the most but are venturing out to the super saucer and the jumpy swing.
You really love to hear your mommy read! Which I hope tells us you will love to read.
You love your hands you hold them together across your chest like you are praying. That is one of mommy's favorites.
And last but not least you always smile when you see my face which is the ultimate and makes my world!

4 mo. check up

Open wide! Still no teeth but it is a little early! We had a great check up at the Doc's. Griffin now weighs 14lbs 1.5 oz. He is now 24.5 inches long. Keep this up big boy we are so proud of you!

You really like your Doctor Weave you talked to him the whole time! Seeing that he doesn't give you the shots I would like him too!

Other Events On Daddy's Day

Griffin's impression of sister act!

His first time in the super saucer!

We then enjoyed the rest of the afternoon cooking out with Dee and Pops.

Happy Daddy Day!

We surprised daddy Sunday morning! He didn't think he was getting anything!

I had to put Griffin in the cooler after all, he is the best gift of all!

I dressed him in his daddy's favorite! Go COCKS!!!!!

Daddy can't wait to read this to you!

He didn't seem to mind. What a great little boy you are!

Family Fun

We packed up the house and left for a trip to see Sheron, Foster and Jody! They had a Birthday Bash for the Local Christian Radio. We had so much fun and we are going to make it an annual trip.

What a happy baby boy!

Daddy enjoyed the family day too!

I think I'll stay in daddy's arms all day!

Three Musketeers

Had to have some Mommy love!

Sweeeeet Family!

We all had a great time and really enjoyed the Christian bands! Thanks sis!

Cool Rider

Griffin got him so new shades! They are still a little big. They are infant size but I guess he has a smaller head than most babies? They match his red jogging stroller!

2 miles

We are finally up to two miles! It is so much different with the jogging stroller but Griffin seems to like it. Let's hope it continues. He usually takes his morning nap in it!
