Big boy!

Griffin's 6 month stats -

26.5 inches (1.5 inches in 2 months!)

18.5 lbs.

We had a great Easter, celebrating with Mi-Maw, Aunt Jill, Uncle Jason, and Cousin/BFF Keaton. Mi-Maw bought Lil' G a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal which he quickly tried to eat! We loved watching Keaton look for Easter eggs and trying to hug his cousin - too cute! In addition to trying to eat anything and everything, Lil' G LOVES his bathtime - as you can see!

He is fascinated by water....

This past weekend, I was once again reminded of how lucky we are to have such a miracle in our lives. Certain experiences we have been through just didn't seem fair, but with this guy, we know someone is up there looking out for us and blessing us daily.

Life is perfect!

During my blogging experience, I have found (or "stalked", as Hans would say) some pretty amazing moms and their stories. Please take time to say a prayer for the moms on my list - My Charming Kids (and baby Stellan), Kelly's Korner (and sweet Harper), and the Williams Family (gorgeous little Jonah). They have all made me want to be a better mom and person.

Water!!

I love this stuff...

Yum - Mickey!

Happy Easter to all!

Family Project!

Every month, Griffin's school has a family project for us to complete. I have to admit, the first one had me stressed as I wanted his first "homework" assignment to be perfect. I have to say, it was pretty darn cute and is still hanging on the bulletin board outside his room. This month, we had to decorate a flower. I busted out the old crayons and had a great time (ahem...I mean, Griffin had a great time - I would NEVER do my child's homework:)) doing this family project!

I wuv my daddy!

Am I talented or what??

My finished project that I would now like to eat...

Catching up...

Here are some of our latest adventures!

My first rodeo!

My cousin, Gavin, and our matching outfits :)

Daddy and I in Stephenville!

My studly cousin, Gage!

FOOOOOOD!

Say what??

Griffin is approaching the 5 month mark - how did that happen?? He is growing, laughing, and...growing some teeth! He has two chompers on the bottom, and I think a third will join them soon. He chews on everything! I am loving Spring Break '09 with my munchkin. We have visited old friends, spent a day with Mi-Maw/Jill/Keaton, and are looking forward to the rodeo and the zoo! Pics to come of those teeth and our Spring Break adventures!

Oh - and I turn 21 for the 11th time next week :) We will celebrate with Griffin's first crawfish boil - cooked by his awesome Daddy!!

The best 4 months of our lives....

My new toy! I love it....
Nothing better than bathtime!


I am so talented!

Surprise - I am 4 months old today!

My best buddy - Keaton!

Four months have passed, and we are more in love than ever! God has truly blessed us with this sweet angel - we thank Him over and over each day. Griffin is slowly learning to roll over. I tried to catch it on tape today, but once I got the camera, he stopped performing! I will try to get a video on here very soon. As for mommy, I passed my counselor certification and have started applying for counseling jobs here in Cy Fair. Wish me luck! No matter what, I know there will be a change for me next year in the educational world - maybe Hans will let me stay home??? :)

Love, love, love!!

Look what Mi-Maw found at her door on Valentine's Day!

We decided to surprise my mom for Valentine's Day. Jill and I bought a balloon and some flowers, put the boys at the door, rang the bell, and ran! She opened her door to this :) Needless to say, she was very excited (especially with G in his Astros hat!).

We hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day!

The little man and his new tricks!

Chillin' in the Bumbo!

New mommies and precious boys!

I love to laugh!

Holding my head up!

Griffin is now 15 weeks - where does the time go? He is the happiest baby - we love making him laugh! I have had a really hard time being back at work - I miss him so much during the day!

We had a holiday for MLK day, and we spent some time with our good friends, Matt and Lindsey Hopkins. Baby Dean was born 3 weeks after Griffin. It was so nice to see some high school buds and swap new mommy stories!

Also, if you check out the blogs I follow, please go visit Kelly's Korner. My friend, Julie, posted this blog a few weeks back (thanks, Julie!) about this sweet couple and their new baby, Harper. Please go see Harper's story - such a miracle! I have been praying and praying for this little one, and it's working. Go visit and continue to pray for this awesome family. It makes me hug Griffin a little tighter.

Love to all!
