Day after Christmas Bowling tradition
s
This was the first time Griffin has actually bowled. No pins were knocked down, but he didn't care. He loved getting another chance to hang out with his "cousins" and eat as many french fries as he could.

Brunch with Santa
Griffin, mom, dad, grammy, grandma and uncle Evan all went to have brunch with Santa today. We missed the other half of the family who was home sick with the flu. As you can see Griffin has no trouble sitting on Santa's lap but isn't 100% sure about his scratchy beard. Afterwards we went to the Duke Energy train display, which he loved even more than he did last year when we took him :)

Proud Laugh
Griffin has many different kinds of laughs but I think this one is his proud laugh, for when he does something we should praise him for.

Little Helper
Griffin loves to help do dishes (he even says "dishes" now). He will stand and rinse dishes for an hour if you let him. This usually results in an outfit change but well worth the "extra help". He looks like he is getting in trouble in these pictures by the look on his face, but he's not! In other news, Scott is out of town this week in Knoxville and we miss him like crazy. I am about to enter my third trimester of pregnancy which is CRAZY. This one has really flown by. We still have not found our ideal house but remain hopeful :) Happy Holidays!

Ring-Around-the-Rosie
Griffin loves to play Ring-Around-the-Rosie but it makes his mom, aunt and grandma very sick (none of us do well with circles) so we taught him how to do it himself. I promise this is the only game we make him play by himself, and as you can see he loves being the center of attention.

18 month appt
Griffin had his 18 month appt last week so here are the updates from that and from everyday life in general:
*He is in the 3rd percentile for weight (yay! still on the charts) and 25th percentile for height. Neither of these are due to him not eating either. He eats constantly, probably 5 meals a day.What is even better is that he isn't a very picky eater. He eats whatever we eat now, no separate meals for him anymore. I hope this statement doesn't come back to hit me in the face :) He especially loves pasta, pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, casseroles, oatmeal, yogurt and any and all fruit.
*He is consistently saying about 10 words now but has probably said close to 40 words ever. His favorites right now are boo-boo, baby, juice, shoes, choo-choo, yellow, two (when he counts everything is 2) I-want-dat, momma and dadda.
*He is doing everything an 18 month old should be doing according to the development charts. Stacking blocks, feeding himself, running, etc.
*He is truly a momma's boy. Only mom can put him down at night and get him up in the morning. This has its ups and downs for both mom and dad :)
*He loves his cousin Gavin, whom he refers to as his baby. He cannot control himself around him though yet so we can't leave them alone together ever. Gavin would be kissed/hugged nonstop.
*He has discovered his whine and how to use it. This may have something to do with all the changes in his life lately but we are hoping it gets better but scared because he is about to get hit with new changes shortly (another new home-hopefully and a baby sister in March). His sister, by the way, is about 1-1.5 lbs and measuring ahead of schedule. I feel her move all the time, especially at night.

Fun with "baby"
Griffin has a newfound obsession/love for his cousin and doesn't let him out of his sight. He calls him "baby" and loves to help do everything for him. He helps change his diapers, plays with him, gives him pacis when he cries, hugs, kisses, squeezes him, helps give him baths, gives him toys, and so on. He is really going to be a great big brother in a few months.
