Random Pics and a Family Update

This is how Griff takes a nap in his swing. He loves to have his face covered by blankets. The more the better.

Lila was getting ready to go to bed and she was so smiley I had to grab a picture.

With her Daddy. She is definitely a daddy's girl.

Sunny and her baby boy. She had him all fixed up in the bouncy seat and was playing with him. I guess she didn't realize he was right in the window and the sun was so bright he couldn't open his eyes.

Griffin was screaming at me and I had Jax hold him while I made a bottle. As soon as I gave him to Jax he stopped crying and started smiling and talking to Jax. Sweet, but what am I, chopped liver?

Lila has been getting more and more involved with Griffin. She is so helpful to me while the other kids are at school. I can't believe all the things she can do with him and she is only 19 months old. I think the big kids have set a really good example for her as to how she should treat her baby brother.

She love to hold him for as long as I will let her.

Playing on the floor.

Proof that he actually does smile and play. Especially with Sunny.

And....his normal grouchy face. LOL!

We have had a busy few weeks, lots of sickness (Griffin is still sick and I'm debating taking him to the doctor), school, and playing with friends. Jackson and Sunny are both really enjoying school and doing very well. Jackson's got an award from the Principal for following directions. It was called the Principals top 200 club. Which is pretty good since there are 1100 kids at the school. His favorite subject is quickly changing from math to spelling. He has an excellent memory and we are finding we don't even have to practice his words with him because he is able to learn them all by himself. His reading has also taken off and he is enjoying lots of different books. He loves to stay up late at night (late around here is 7:30 hahaha) and read in bed.

Sunny thinks kindergarten is awesome. She loves most of the kids in her class. There is one boy that is horribly behaved and she loves to come home and tell about his exploits. This week he yelled at the teacher that he hated her, crawled around the floor under the tables, attacked another boy, and screamed and wouldn't come in from recess. WOW! She has a special "attachment" to a little boy named Connor who is so cute. Well, I think it is him attached to her, he follows her out to the car and doesn't want to stop talking to her. 5 year olds are so funny. She is just learning to read and is doing great, but she gets frustrated b/c she can't do it as good as Jackson.

Lila is just cute, sweet, and funny. Really funny. That is all about her for now.

Griffin is getting less grouchy, but I wouldn't call him a happy baby by any means. He does spend a lot of time smiling and cooing at us, so that has been fun. He is a great eater and sleeper, so even though he is grouchy he is still a pretty easy baby. He has definitely been an easy adjustment for our family. Number 3 about killed me, but 4 actually seems like he's always been around.

Ryan is still loving his job, we all are still loving our new house and neighborhood. Things are great!
