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!
