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 :)

New Sink!

Griffin loves taking baths in the new sink his dad installed over the weekend. Thanks dad, we are so proud of your plumbing skills!

Dancing

Griffin has started dancing to music, any kind, even the tunes from toys. He usually "raises the roof" as his main dance move but he doesn't show that in this video. He can dance while crawling or sitting now, too :)

Warmer Weather = Parks

Since the weather has been warmer we have enjoyed going to different parks around the city. Griffin has loved them all so far.

Fun at Grammy and Grampy's

Griffin got to take a ride on Grampy's shoulders, ride a bike and let his hair blow in the wind on a swing at Grammy and Grampy's yesterday. We had a lot of fun!

Check out the Mohawk!

BIG NEWS!

Yesterday while mom and dad were both at work and Grammy Lyons was watching Griffin, he took his first steps. He has been walking around with us holding one of his hands for a couple weeks now but yesterday he took three steps without holding someone's hand. He is always blowing us away with new things but this one is pretty big!
His list of words now includes "boo" (balloon-for any brightly colored object higher than his head and also for peek-a-boo), "kee" (kitty-whenever he sees the neighbors cat), "dog, dog" (dog-whenever he hears or sees a dog), "dada" (dad). Still not consistent with mom, but I know I have many years ahead to hear that word!

Aunt Shell and Uncle Derek

Griffin loved hanging out with his aunt and uncle who were in town for the funeral. You can't tell by the picture but baby Moore is getting bigger and Aunt Shell has a wonderful baby bump because of it!

The Whole Donovan Crowd

After a couple full days of celebrating great-grandma's life we got together for whole group picture. I'm sure she was smiling down on us during the picture.
