He's So Cute When He's Asleep



I post all kinds of funny/bad things Griffin does on the blog, so I thought I'd give him a little positive publicity.

G-man is doing great with sleeping in his big boy bed. He is back to taking 2 hour naps everyday (except on days Ryan is home, I can't get him to nap at all then) and goes to bed so easily at night.

Good job little G.

Let It Snow


Snowball fight!!

Cameron was there. Well, sort of :)



She loves to eat snow. Just like her big sister used to.



Okay, so apparently they all like to eat snow.






Griffin loves to play outside. I have never seen him so happy. He ate, threw, jumped, and rolled in the snow. He was completely soaked when he came it.



The snowflakes were really big...perfect for eating.

Sunny is always the first one to make a snow angel.

Once There Was a Snowman



Sunny and Jack were trying to build a snowman today. Griffin was trying to destroy it.



They decided for Jack to try to build it and Sunny would stand guard against Griffin.




Griffin loves a good wrestling match. He didn't even care that Sunny kept throwing him to the ground and sitting on him. And in the end...he still destroyed their snowman.
*No small children were harmed in the process of taking this picture*

I was getting ready for church on Sunday when I heard a huge crash downstairs. I waited for someone to cry, but no one did, so I continued with what I was doing. I came downstairs a bit later and found this. (And yes, my first thought was to take a picture)

Of course, Griffin is the culprit. He was fine and the tv was fine, so we were able to laugh about it. Leave it to him to take the destruction of my house to a new level. I'm almost afraid to ask...what's next?

I Hope


...that they always love each other as much as they do right now.

Haircut for Griffin


I've been growing Griffin's hair out for a really long time. I can't remember when I cut it last...last summer maybe? It was pretty cute, but it was getting to be really high maintenance. I literally had to do it 5 or 6 times a day to keep it looking nice. Otherwise it was a huge mess.



He called this is "Maci" hairstyle. We have a neighbor (named Maci obviously) and she wears her hair in a little ponytail a lot. Noticing girls already!?!?


I decided today was the day to chop it. I hated to do it. Really I did, but I knew it needed to be done. I bathed him this morning and fixed his hair so cute, and 2 hours later it was a mess again. I was done.


Griffin was devastated. He kept rubbing his head and saying, "No, my hair is gone...no...no."



And a few after shots. He wouldn't hold still for many pictures. He wanted to go play with Cameron.



The classic smile.



I love this one. He kept holding his chin up really high and I told him to move it down. He grabbed his neck and looked like he was choking.

I also think he looks very much like Jackson in this picture.





And, for your entertainment, I interviewed Griffin about his new hair cut. He basically couldn't be bothered to talk to me because he wanted to go play so badly, but he did answer a few questions.

Who Wants to Eat



Cameron does! This kid is all about food. He really cannot get enough.

He loves: avocado, applesauce, & banana

He tolerates: green beans

He hates: sweet potato (although he is getting better about eating it. I just have to mix a little applesauce with it)




Tonight for dinner he actually ate a whole avocado and cried for more when it was done.

I generally don't feed my kids solids until much later, but Cameron has proven more than ready. He was drinking a ton of formula everyday, so I thought I'd try a bit of food to see if that helped him feel fuller. I think it worked... kind of. He drinks a little less formula, but this kid can eat like a 2 year old.


Eating makes him so happy. He starts kicking his feet as soon as I put him in the high chair. He opens his mouth up faster than I can shovel in the food.
