Taking some time for Mommy and Griffin
We have been going non-stop since Friday and Griffin and I decided to take a hour break on Memorial Day to enjoy the pretty weather! He loved loved the pool! He splashed and giggled the whole time. He was the cutest thing ever! We can't wait till we can invite your friends over to add to the laughter!

Happy 15mo!
My Dearest Griffin,
Tomorrow you will be 15months old! I use to hear from my patients that when you enter into this world that it would be the fastest part of my life from here on out! Boy! Were they right! God has given you to us to enjoy here on this earth and we are so undeserving! Here are some little things that you are doing!
We work on body parts everyday and you now know where your belly is! It is my favorite because you take both hands and put them on your tummy and move them back and forth side to side! It is so, so, so cute!
You still have very little to say but you have a huge non-verbal vocabulary. You understand us so well! You definitely know what no means but still tempt us every day! You know what snack is, ball, dog, reading a book, milk, juice, and much much more!
You want to walk all day long! You took your very first step on your own today but didn't realize it! We were over at the new house measuring for blinds and Pops was walking you and I got down to take over and you took one step towards me and grabbed my finger!
My new favorite thing is how we put you to sleep for naps and night night. Your Pops and Dee started this and it is truly priceless! You go to sleep with this small blankie that has tags all around it. We have a football one and Dee and Pops have a square shaped one. When it is time to sleep we look at you and say "Where's your taggie? Do you want to go find your taggie?" You grin from ear to ear and when we get close to the crib you smile so big and move up and down and when you see it you lean in and I lay you down and you grab it and hug it so tight and then roll over tuck it under you tummy and drift off to sleep. Sometimes you will play with it and gurgle for a while. I just love this stage!
You love your car and must push the blinkers 1000 x's a day. You love to slam the cabinets! You still love books and you love Elmo toys. You still are not watching TV but the few things that catch your attention is the Weather Channel and Price is Right Wheel at the end of the show. Your Papa Chick watches this every Tuesday when he keeps you!
You have a huge appetite this week! It has amazed us! Today you had all of your oatmeal and mommy let you have 4 little teddy grahams along with milk for breakfast. For lunch you had a whole can of carrots a whole can of pears and for a snack you had a whole mini-box of raisins 2 nab peanut butter crackers and 15 gold fish and for supper you had pasta pick ups and a jar of peaches! Not including the milk,juice and water!
You have started to babble so much more now and we know it is any day that you will say something other than momma, Dada, pops and bye bye!
We love you little one and I can't wait to watch you grow and change!
Much Much Love, Mommy!

Life at it's fastest!
Okay, Life has been full of amazing and unforgettable moments! We are all like chickens running around plucking each others feathers out! We have found a home! Thanks Be to God! It is totally different from our current home witch is seemingly what we wanted. Actually what God wanted for us! We sat back and listened for once in our lives! We wanted a kid friendly house and that is what he has given us!
We have started to pack and spent the whole Mother's Day weekend doing so! Which is fine! Sometimes Life is so busy you just have to push forward and say Next!
John Van and I decided that we would celebrate our Anniversary, Both Birthdays and Mother's Day once we got into the house. Which is exactly what we need.
That will be fun celebrating it all in our new home.
The whole month of April started out with a bang! A bang in little Griffin's eye that is. April 1st I woke up to a little boy with his right eye swollen! I thought that my child was going to be blind in one eye it was so bad. His doctor took me straight back and we found out it was an ear infection that lead to his eye! Yes, His eye?? I never knew it was possible. I then had to go to work and tell my boss I was leaving and I sounded like a I was hyperventilating. He was probably glad to see me go after that episode! Just kidding! At least he knew I cared!
Meanwhile my child took the 7 days of antibiotics and still pulling at his ear screaming as he did this. I took him back when the 7 days was over and he was put on an even stronger antibiotic and in the middle of this 10 regimen he caught something viral. His throat was red with puss pockets and all we could do was give him Motrin. Poor little guy! So he has basically been sick the whole month of April:(
He has changed so much! He is definitely going through separation anxiety! He wants his mommy more and more which melts my heart! He has always been so independent and it is nice to see this softer side as well! I will probably be eating those words in a couple of weeks but like I say I have been shoveling in several paragraphs no, maybe lets say senior term paper(That's more like it)! Yes, Me the pre-mom that thought she was such a tough cookie! I am slowly turning into cookie dough!
His newest thing is body parts. He knows his head, ear, mouth and the newest is Tongue! It is the cutest thing ever! I say "Griffin where's your tongue?" And he sticks it out! So So so cute!!! He still hasn't started walking on his own. Mother's day he took three-four steps with Pops having his hand barely under his arm pit. Once Griffin realized it he dropped to the floor and started crying. Yep, He loves to walk and if you stop and let go his lovely temper shines threw! Discipline has been the hardest adventure!
We are moving on the 22nd of this month and can't wait to get settled in back to real life! Structure, Regimen, Normalcy! Could someone Please remind me of what that is like?
In the rut of it all Jesus has blessed us so very much I love both of my jobs they are both very big gifts! My husband, child, family and small group have been such an even bigger gift! Man God is Good all the time. All the time God is Good!
