Bathtime

We have recently learned that we cannot say the word "bath" in front of Griffin unless we plan on giving him a bath. He knows exactly what it means and will make a beeline for the bathroom when you say it. He also knows he has to get undressed and has learned to say his own version of "bath". The other morning when I turned on the shower he got very upset when he realized it wasn't for him!

Sprinkler

Our neighbors had their sprinkler up the other night and Griffin had a blast walking through it. He was sopping wet but totally happy. I couldn't get any facial pictures because he was too busy "talking" to the neighbors but you can see the wet hair.

We're working on the nose next :)

Here is a video of the first body part Griffin has learned. As you can see, there is just a little bit of over generalization with the nose, but we are working on that next :)

Happy Memorial Day!

Griffin had a fun weekend full of festivals, swimming, friends and the museum center. His mom can't say the same but the living room and bathroom now have fresh coats of paint on them. Thanks to all the vets that make this day and many other wonderful days possible for us :)

Taste of Cincinnati

Tonight we went to Taste of Cincinnati with Patrick and Liz. Griffin did pretty well but he spent most of his time on mom or dad's shoulders. He LOVED the fried pickles and ate two of them almost completely by himself, which is the picture you see at the bottom. Don't worry he also got some chicken ravioli from Bella Luna and some fruit and veggy baby food to top it all off. I love the picture at the top, where you can see him "smelling". He made his bunny rabbit face the whole walk to the car and got a lot of laughs from people :)

Birthday Pictures

Check out our photographer's blog to see some of Griffin's first birthday pictures. We loved her and can't wait to share the rest of the pictures with everyone once we get them.

The Simple Joys in Life...

Griffin helps his mom and dad see the simple joys in life such as how enjoyable popping balloons can be.

Get Better Soon Uncle Derek!

Uncle Derek had knee surgery over the weekend and we are hoping he is back to normal before soon and that the pain isn't too bad. This is a video from about two months ago when Derek was in town. He was pretty daring to let G play with his laptop but you can tell by the dancing how much he loved it! Get better soon and can't wait to see you and Aunt Shell next month in Hutchinson Island, FL!

Fun at the Park

With Griffin now walking everywhere (and he also now has the ability to stand up on his own without pulling up on something) going to places like the park can be a lot more fun. I love the action shot of him swinging because the look on his face is a mixture of happiness and a little bit of fear :)
