No Longer Camera Shy

Griffin has finally figured out that the camera is not a scary thing. He now smiles every time the red light appears and puts on quite a show. He loves the exersaucer that Rebecca and Gavin let us borrow.

There are so many things on the exersaucer it never gets boring. We have put his smiling sun on it that lights up and plays music any time Griffin jumps up and down. It is always good for smile.

I am happy to say that the balloon has sang it's last song. I think it had way more than 50 plays, but Griffin did love it.

I am glad that I am not the only one that falls victim to the hair pulling. Anything that is within arms length is fair game. Poor Gramma got the sneak attack.

Toby is not all that impressed with Griffin. I think she is telling us that she wants to be shipped out - any takers?

Almost A Crawler

We keep thinking that Griffin will crawl any minute. For the past 2 months he has been rocking on his hands and knees and moving his knees. Griffin frequently does face plants or moves backwards.

Griffin is happy to be up on his hands and knees, regardless how little he moves. He gets from place to place by rolling and worming his way in the general direction.

Like I said, for the most part he travels backwards. I wanted to see just how far he would go - apparently there are no limits!

All of this crawling does take it out of him, but it does not mean that he naps any more than he used to.

Future Olympic Swimmer

We finally got the OK from the doctor to go into the pool. For those that know me, know how much I love the pool, I have been waiting for the day. He loved it! The local pool has a kiddie pool that is 31C, so warm, but really shallow.

Daddy was showing Griffin the art of floating on a pool noodle - Jordan's means of swimming. Lets hope that he takes after his mum for his swimming skills.

"This swimming thing is easy stuff!"
