Sarah Kate is 8 weeks old

Sarah Kate is 8 weeks old and growing like a weed. She had her check up today and was given a good report. She weighed 11 lbs and 9 ozs (75%) and was 22.5 in tall (50%).

She is such a sweet baby. Sarah Kate has started smiling at us and it melts our hearts. She also coos a lot and we love hearing her sweet sounds.

Celebrating Griffin

We celebrated Griffin turning 2 over the weekend with a family party. Everyone came and Griffin loved being the star of the show. Happy Birthday to you!

Partying with Elmo

Elmo came to preschool to celebrate Griffin's 2nd birthday. He brought his friend Ernie from Sesame Street to sing songs, dance and play with Griffin and all of his friends. Griffin loved Elmo and gave him lots of hugs. They also played together in the sandbox, which was lots of fun. Happy 2nd Birthday, Griffin!

 

Griffin is 2

Our precious Griffin, you are TWO!

You are a sweet little boy and we love you so much. You are determined. You love trucks. You love sweets and could survive on eating sugary sweets alone. You are very eager to learn. You are funny and make us laugh everyday. You are ticklish. You love kisses. You are a picky eater. You talk all of the time and repeat everything we say. You love your mom, dad and sister very much. You are an artist and love to color. You use your manners and are very polite, which helps you get your way. You have tantrums. You love lollipops and look for one during each visit to the store. You are sensitive and caring. You can be shy but once you've explored you run loose. You have a big heart. You are wonderful.

We love you. Happy TWO!

Heart Day

We celebrated Valentine's with our families and both Griffin and Sarah Kate were spoiled with lots of goodies. Our weekend was filled with lots of love.

23 Months Old

I can't believe Griffin will be two next month! He is growing up so fast and becoming such a big boy. Griffin loves trucks and trains. He wants to play with his train table as soon as he wakes up in the morning and as soon as he walks in the door in the afternoon. He carries his trucks and trains around the house and there are always trucks parked at the table while he eats. We also look for trucks everytime we are in the car and he calls out the names of all the ones he sees. He especially loves fire trucks, ambulances and dump trucks.

He loves sweets and snacks. Griffin is definitely a sugar monster! He has become a picky eater and after a few bites he tells us that he is "all done" and wants to "get down". At least we have worked vitamins into his diet.

He talks all of the time and loves to repeat everything we say. I'm amazed everytime I hear him say a new word and he is learning so many new ones from school. He's also learned his numbers and can count to five, although he is shy and won't do it when we ask. He will only do it when he thinks we aren't listening.

Griffin is very sweet and loving. He likes to give and get lots of hugs and kisses. At night, he always asks for more kisses before bed and I love that!

Happy Valentine's Day

We had lots of fun celebrating Valentine's Day with Griffin and Sarah Kate. We exchanged small gifts and celebrated with Griffin at his preschool party.
