Time with Family

Griffin and I are visiting Heather, Nate, and Tank this week! We picked up Grandma Wells in Butte and we all drove down together. Griffin calls my mom "Grammy".

Griffin and Tank also love playing with each other. They love running up and down the stairs and chasing each other around the coach.

Griffin found his old baby walker and has been having a blast climbing in and out of it. He loves putting his cars, helicopter, and blocks on the tray and then just playing.

He brings so much joy to my life. I love him. He has a real spunky personality, and he is smart. I know all parents say their kids are smart, but nothing gets passed our Griffin. He has a great memory and learns quickly.

And here is the newest addition to our family sweet baby Ella. We've been working on making the baby announcements so we had to take a few photos. They really didn't turn out too bad I don't think. Heather likes the black and white. Here she is in her blessing dress! Ella is so precious. I don't remember Griffin ever being so small and help less but I guess at one point in our lives we all were. Heather and Nate are wonderful parents. Ella is a very blessed little girl.

Fun with the cricut

I made these letters with my new cricut! Thanks Joe, Griffin, Mom, Heather, Nate, and Ella for the wonderful gift. I've been having so much fun cutting things.

These letters are cut out of 12x12 paper so they are BIG. We tacked them up above Griffin's closet. So now finally I can say we did something decorative in our babies room...I am planning on making some other things for his room so you will just have to stay tuned.

What a sense of style!

This is the cute little outfit Griffin would prefer to wear.

He is beginning to be very aware of what he is wearing and likes to pick his own clothes out. I think he has been wearing his red chopper shirt for the last three days, but if it makes him happy I am happy as well.

This is just funny b/c he put his little sweater vest over his pj's and didn't want to have anything removed!

Oh, and he loves to sit at the island and eat his cereal out of his own bowl with his own spoon. He is just getting so big!

Comfortable

Griffin sure does know how to make himself comfortable!

Another one bites the dust~

Yup, Griffin broke another one of my tree ornaments. He knows he can not touch anything on the tree...but he has discovered a new way to get what he wants without touching it.

Are you wondering what my clever son does? Well he stands right next to the ornament and blows it until it falls onto the tree skirt then he will bring it over to me so I can put it back on; he thinks he is being so helpful. Well this ornament didn't land on the tree skirt so it broke into a million pieces.

Griffin was quite shocked and he looked up at me with his sad face and said, "sorry"? Then he ran and buried his head in the couch. It is hard to discipline him when he is genuinely sorry. Guess we will see what idea he comes up with next to get the ornaments off the tree.
