The Children's Museum Aftermath

Griffin and I had a very fun time at our first trip to the Museum Center yesterday. Thanks to Maria, Chloe and Will for letting us tag along! I wasn't able to get the camera out during the whole trip because Griffin NEVER stopped. He went from push toy, to Legos, to sand table, to blocks, to balls, to push toy again... So anyway here is a picture of what you could find in the back of the car before we could even get on 75, which is literally 1 block away from the Museum Center.

More Easter Pics

On Easter Sunday we woke up WAY early in the morning (Griffin thinks its fun to get up at 5:30). We went to Easter Mass, and then checked out what the Easter Bunny brought. It was a beautiful day out so we went for a jog, and Griffin does such a great job in the jogging stroller. Then later in the day we went over to visit grandpa, uncle Patrick and great grandma and grandpa Gunderson for dinner. Although Griffin was a little spoiled this year (at least a dozen presents and 3 Easter baskets) he had a wonderful first Easter, which meant his parents did too.

Lyons' Family Easter

Trying to warm up to all the fun and commotion.

Cam trying to crawl, but she would always get stuck in the downward facing dog yoga pose. She's close!


Opening presents which included sunglasses, sand shovels, toys and buckets, balls, and stamps.

Here's Livi in her new shades. Apparently, when the Easter Bunny stops here he brings presents too!

Maci, Livi and Griffin are looking out at all the eggs in anticipation!


Griffin loved hunting for Easter eggs outside.

The Easter Bunny Goes...

Griffin learned his first animal noise, just it time for Easter!

Brushing my Teeth

Griffin loves to "brush" his teeth with the toothbrush grandma got for him, as long as there is a little but of toothpaste on the brush. It is neat to see him catching on to the purposes of certain items around the house. If you give him a brush he puts it in your hair, glasses are put on your face, toothbrushes/food/cups in your mouth, and Scott's electric razor on your face.

Almost 1!

One month from today Griffin will turn one...huh?! I had trouble even getting my fingers to type that out, it just seems like yesterday he was born. One thing is for sure, he will not be getting any more stuffed animals, he has plenty already :)

New Sand Table

Griffin LOVED playing in his new sand table last night. He threw a mini-tantrum when we had to take him away to eat dinner. He basically tried to empty it one little fistful at a time onto our patio, but he had the time of his life doing it.

Stolen Picture #2

Here is Griffin and his cousin, Camryn who is 7 months old, on a walk to Graeter's. They both enjoyed sitting together in the double stroller. Thanks to aunt Megan for the cute picture.

Baby Moore is a boy!

Griffin loves his two girl cousins, Livi and Cam and now he gets to add a boy cousin to that list. Shell and Derek found out yesterday they are having a boy, and we are all thrilled for them. The above is a pic of his soccer leg and the bottom pic is of his face and heart. He is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way already.

And he's off.....

This video was taken after Griffin took 9 steps in a row tonight, from mom to dad, all by himself. Looking back, the keys in his hand probably weren't the safest toy, but hindsight is 20/20. He acted as if he had been doing this all along, while I was trying not to cry :)
