Griffin's 1st Red's Game

Griffin and the fam went to the Red's game on May 17 for the Mother's day game. The Red's won !! Yippee. Votto and Dunn both hit homeruns and Griffin enjoyed the fireworks. He seemed to enjoy the game too, it run's in the blood. He even took a 7th inning stretch with Dad and came back fast asleep!

True Fan...He even wore a red and white sock on his booboo!
We are ready to go cheer!
I want some of that popcorn and cracker jacks!
Go Griffey! We sat right next to him out in the field. I think he even waved to Griffin...he must have known they shared nicknames..."Grif"

Swimmin' with the Dolphins

Griffin was really excited to go swimming in his dolphin pool for the first time! Thank you Uncle Ron, Auntie Cris, Emily and Megan for the cute pool. He loves it. He splished and splashed until he was all prunes. Then he went down for a nice long afternoon nap.

Who needs a rock solid body to look cute?

Bye, bye...I am pooped from swimming!

8 Months

So, the little guy isn't so little anymore. He's 8 months old as of this past Tuesday. He still isn't crawling yet, but he pulled himself up on the ottoman and was standing the other day. I'm thinking we might skip the whole crawling thing and go straight to walking around. So far, he log-rolls and scoots backwards to get where he wants to go. The problem with moving backwards is that he can't really see where he's going, so he backs into some akward positions and gets stuck. Thus far, screaming about it is the best solution he has come up with.

He is also eating baby food on a pretty regular basis. Bananas and sweet potatoes are his favorites. We've also tried the little puff cereal things. He's not so sure about them yet.

Enough with the general commentary, here is a picture journal of what he's been doing for the past couple of months....

Hanging out in my favorite spot... the floor.

Nobody rocks a duck hat like Griffin!

Growin like a weed

Well, Griffin is growing like a weed . He is 5 months old now and is wearing 6-9 months clothes. He has two teeth (since his 4 month checkup), is rolling over like a champ and had his first taste of rice cereal over the weekend. He is a very happy baby and has been sleeping thru the night pretty consistently since christmas. He gave us 11 hours straight thru last Saturday night. Here are some pics of the munchkin.

Look Mom! Two teeth and a snot face!
