Now that playoffs are over for Vancouver, Griffin can take himself away from the TV to help daddy with plumbing in the new bathroom sinks. I am not sure if Griffin was learning much, he spent most of the time making funny noises with the pipes.


The long weekend meant I had time to make blueberry pancakes. Griffin made a great mess feeding himself, but had lots of fun doing it. He still only has 2 teeth on the bottom and the one on the top still has not broken beyond the gum line. Pancakes are easy to chew with only 2 teeth.


I am not able to get much done with Griffin in the yard, since he is like most kids and loves to taste dirt and any other yard waste. I can not turn my head for one minute without something going in the mouth. But, I have managed to get my flowers planted and some veggies put in the garden that Jordan built for me last year. Can't wait to pick our food from our own backyard.

When not outside, Griffin loves to play under the table. The top of his head just brushes against the table bottom and he is forever pumping his head on the ledge of the table, but it does not seem to bother him.

The Playoffs are Here

Go Canucks Go!! Thanks to Auntie Shaina, Griffin can support his team in official gear. However, making sure Griffin is wearing his shirt on game day means I have to wash the shirt every other day. Griffin enjoys watching hockey with us, but is not always happy when we scream when our team scores. He will learn.
Jordan and I went to game 1 of the second round against Chicago - it was awesome!


There is never a dull moment with Griffin around. He is cruising on furniture, but is not always steady, so you have to be ready to catch him or move potential objects. He has 2 teeth on the bottom and one on the top that is just coming in. I am afraid he takes after his mother when it comes to eating, he just doesn't stop. He has a great personality and we love every moment with him.


I don't think Toby is as big a fan of Griffin as we are. Now that Griffin in on the move, she seeks higher ground, but Griffin never gives up.


Uncle Jayson (Jordan's brother) came up from Vegas and met Griffin for the first time. I think Griffin was quite taken by his uncle.


We went over to Vancouver Island to attend a rowing regatta at Jordan's old high school - Brentwood college. We were able to visit with a number of Jordan's old teachers. Our friend Steven Hall (below with Griffin) who attended high school with Jordan came up from South Carolina to also attend. They both took part in commemorating a boat in honour of their old rowing coach Mr. Queen.


Steve was great with Griffin, he was point man on the stroller all weekend.
