First Steps

Griffin's First Easter

We woke up Easter morning to go on an indoor scavenger hunt for Easter Baskets. By following the clues, we ended up finding the Easter Baskets in the oven, hahaha. Then Ava and Griffin went on an Easter egg hunt inside and found all sorts of goodies inside the eggs, as well as in their Easter baskets. From a singing bunny for Griff to a tutu bathing suit for Aves, all the goodies and treats were very well received.

After we settled down and got dressed, we headed over to Gigi and Poppy's house to eat lunch with them and Uncle Aaron. More hunting ensued and a delicious dinner was eaten. Oh, and a funny story. While hunting for eggs, obviously we were helping Griff out and finding eggs he was near. Well, it came down to the last egg that was nowhere to be found. We were all looking low, high, everywhere when all of a sudden we look over and Griffin is playing with an egg. He had found the last one up under a chair. All by himself, big boy!

Preliminary Easter Egg Hunt

Friday before Easter, Ava and I spent our afternoon boiling eggs, dying and decorating, and finally hunting! Griffin slept through the hunt, but we knew there would be more to come on Easter.

Ava really enjoyed the dying part, as well as the hunting. She did a hunt for Daddy as well.

And afterward, we had a hard boiled egg snack.

Happy 11 months BIG boy!!

I've been delaying this post b/c it's my last before you turn ONE. I just absolutely cannot believe you will be ONE YEAR OLD next month. Oh Griff, I just eat you up. You are so sweet, so funny, so snugly, so silly and so smart!

Stats:
21 lbs. 1 oz

Vax:
none this month since we've been dealing with wheezing/breathing issues

Illness Update:
So we had another bout of a cold which turned into wheezing and difficulty breathing. After a week on an Albuterol breathing treatment we added an inhaled steroid, Pulmocort to your treatments. But, BOY you were a totally different baby. Much more aggressive, couldn't sit still, just not my Griff. So we stopped that and changed your prescription to Xopenex. I couldn't help but wonder if this was a gunk in the throat issue also. So your dr. said to try some mucinex. And within a day you were already better. I think Mucinex is my new best friend.

Milestones:
-taking 3-4-5 steps unassisted

-you love to give kisses to stuffed animals, Ava, and sometimes to us

Diapers and Clothing:
You seem to have a poop with EVERYtime you are in your crib, whether it's nap or night night. You like your privacy already. Still wearing 12-18 months clothing and looking QUITE handsome I must say.


Overall, you are just everywhere and into everything! Your sissy plays pretty rough with you and you would never know it, you're all smiles and fun.

Love me baby boy!

Digging up some old pics

My poor Point and Shoot camera doesn't see much action now that the good ole Iphone camera is my go-to camera, on the go. I uploaded some oldies from late last year, early this year that I wanted to post.

Sometimes it's paper.

Then when I leave for a second, the medium changes.

To a body.

Silly girl.
