Recognize any of her precious models??? Love you, Jill. Thank you for capturing all of G's cuteness!

Who knew a paper towel was so funny?

So big (and multi-talented)! :)

The little dude is getting bigger and bigger - 7 months on the 2oth! He currently weighs 20 lbs., and mommy wonders where her arm muscles are?? We are still smiling, still jumping, still sleeping like a rock star, and still loving life :) Oh, and did I mention this little dude now has 5 teeth? Yep, you heard me - 5!

Some of Griffin's accomplishments:

• Sitting up without any assistance.


• Waving "bye-bye"


• Talking up a storm - his fave? Dadadadadada....


• Sticking his tongue out and making a spitting noise (which is REALLY fun mixed with some sweet potatoes...)


• Eating "big boy" foods - any flavor baby food, baby puffs, avocado, steak (dada snuck in a small piece when mommy wasn't looking or she would have stuck her whole hand in his mouth to get it out)


• Watching American Idol and Dancing with the Stars (no, this isn't about his mommy - he really loves Kris Allen (sorry, Mi-Maw) and Shaun Johnson (dada approves).


• Being smothered in kisses all day long (with a face like this, how could you not??)

A Blessed Mother's Day...

Griffin was baptized this past Sunday - Mother's Day. What a beautiful day it was! Griffin is simply the sweetest and only cried when the priest dripped some water in his eye (can you blame him???). Other than that, he smiled the whole day....what can we say? We are blessed....

Cousins!

Baby Bear and Mama Bear

Sweet Baby Bear....

Is he cute or what??

And Mama Bear??

She is now a school counselor! On Friday, during my Teen Leadership class, the amazing group of counselors came to offer me a job on their team. I love that they came to see me in person and welcomed me right away! I am very excited for another way to reach out to students, but I am also scared of the new tasks at hand. But... I know I need the change!

Please say prayers as I begin my new adventure......

Going on a lion hunt...

Griffin enjoyed his safari day at school today. They made these sweet little onesies for each child. He was still "talking" about it when he got home.

Check out his best lion ROAR :)
