New Milestones


Griffin started crawling forward at the beginning of February (Feb. 8th) and has not looked back since. It does mean that I have to be a bit more on my toes. He has also started to pull up on things, mostly me, but it is a start.
He also broke his first tooth last week (Feb 23rd). He was not too bothered by it, just a bit more needy than usual. He can now enjoy home made banana muffins, but not quite ready to break into the granola just yet.
Our little boy is growing up so quickly, hard to imagine he is almost 1 years old.


We borrowed a Jolly Jumper from a friend and Griffin is loving it. I would say he is more a Jolly Dancer than he is a Jolly Jumper, but he will get the hang of it. He likes to swing in it too, more so than when we go to the park.

First Plane Ride



Our first plane ride took us to Edmonton to visit our dear friends Carmen and Jacek and their two children Mira and Leni. Edmonton in February was not Jordan's first choice of places, I think he thought Maui would have been better, but I won. Griffin was so great on the plane, the change in altitude did not bother him one bit. He spent the whole time smiling at the flight attendants.





Mira was so excited to have Griffin around. She was so helpful looking after him, I think Griffin is good with the ladies.





I am not sure who loved the camera more, Leni or Griffin.

We were so fortunate to pick a weekend when neither Carmen or Jacek were working. Jacek and Jordan spent a lot of the weekend walking ski movies. Boys will be boys.





With 3 kids in the house there was not much quiet time, as Jordan quickly found out. After one or two morning coffees he was up for anything.





With Monday being Family Day in Alberta, there were festivities downtown. Luckily we had a snow suit for Griffin to handle the -20C weather. I don't think that he was such a big fan of the cold or the glorious sunny weather.
