Squinty Squeal

Recently he's started intentionally squealing. While visiting Jai Jai and Pops in Colorado he started squinting and pausing before the squeal. Baylee could always get him to do it.

Paper Toy

I don't know why we get him any toys when something as simple as a piece of paper is just as much fun.

Air show!

Last month the Blue Angels came to town with the first St. George Air Show. Our house is minutes away from the new SGU airport so we had a a week of planes flying over our house for practice and the actual show days. Our favorite was the F-22 and the amazing Blue Angels. We went to the show for one of the days. Griffin does not like loud noises. He clearly doesn't have any siblings yet. We had to put earplugs in his ears (sideways so not to enter the canal), a cotton pad over his ears, a headband to secure those, and then a hat to hold everything in place. He actually slept through the F-22 flying directly over the crowd.

Griffin's first bike-ish

I stumbled across this at a consignment shop in town. He can't ride it yet, but he will soon. The button at the top is a horn

Griffin 6 months

I'm a little behind on this one, but so was his 6 month check-up. Today we found out that he is in the 97th percentile for height, 77th for weight and his head size jumped 10 percentiles to 96th!

Despite the big head, Griff has managed to sit up unsupported for long periods of time. He's also rolled to his tummy over and over and over and over. He hates it so he cries out, but as soon as we roll him to his back, he turns right back over onto his tummy again. It's a little aggravating, but mostly hilarious.
His facial expressions are endless. I post so many pictures to show how many looks he can throw in a few minutes time. He's also discovered his voice and experiments with it. He's laughing a lot, babbling a lot, and squealing both with joy and complaint.

I had to get some pictures with his leggings on before it's too warm for him to wear them.


















From the past month



Fell asleep on my lap. He rarely does that anymore. I love it.

He's waiting for me to finish getting ready

Brandon came home from work and found us both asleep

Bath time





He broke out of his fort and seemed so pleased with himself.

He likes standing


Watching "Color Crew"

Learning how to ring a cow bell. He's going to need it
