Our sweet baby boy

Well, as I sit here to update this, our active, sweet, adorable baby boy is right next to me in his exersaucer. He seems to think his exersaucer is his jumperoo. He's trying to jump in it like crazy! It wasn't made to totally bounce like a rockstar in, but apparently he thinks differently!


I remember leaving the hospital right after he was born (almost 6 months ago!)...so sad because I felt like he was already growing up. Or...when he grew out of his newborn clothes...then his 3 month clothes and now his 6 month clothes! People tell me how it just keeps getting better. I have to say at first, I didn't believe them, but it's true! Nothing has ever melted my heart as much as this baby boy's smile and giggle. He's even starting to reach for us now. He's as sweet as sweet can be! We have gotten so many compliments on what a happy baby he is...how content he is! That makes a parent feel like a million bucks! Or how beautiful he is! Yes, I know...I'm his momma, but even if I weren't I'd still think he was the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on. :) Hopefully every parent feels that way.


Some other things are he is rolling all over the place, eating like a man (as Daddy says), and he has fallen in love with this mylar balloon we have. Fallen in love or maybe just flat out obsessed with playing with the balloon! We may just have to get him one for Christmas! :)


Here are some updated pictures of him. We truly are enjoying each and every day with this little being! Did I mention how sweet he is?!?! :)


PS...I have to mention...whenever Daddy walks into the room, Griffin's eyes are immediately on him...he's so in love with his Daddy...it's incredibly precious!

3 down for the count!
Look closely and you'll see he sacked out with his thumb stuck inside his pacifier

I didn't get the camera in time, but he was sleeping with his left arm up in the air
Holding on for dear life!
Drunk on milk...Zzzzzzz...
Much love from the Anderson Family...Joy, Nate, Griffin, and Bailey, too!

Hello! I realize it's been awhile since I've last posted. It's not as easy to update this as it was when I was pregnant. I have a little guy stealing my heart and I can't resist pulling away from him sometimes. Griffin is so much fun. He's starting to "talk" more and more and he's thrilled to stick out his tongue. I'm thinking he may be good at Spanish because he can roll his tongue very well! :) Over the last week and a half we've been trying rice cereal and peas. He thinks he's big stuff sitting in his highchair with the big people. He mostly spits it all out, but hey...he definitely gives it a good try! He's full of smiles and has even started to laugh. I have to say, a baby's laugh is the most beautiful sound on this earth...it's so pure and genuine. We don't think it's our imagination...we think he has said, "hi" and "da-da" a couple of times. Maybe on accident, but hey that's what we heard. :) He loves laying on the floor kicking and throwing his arms all over. He loves to read books. He is very alert and observes all he can (we call him the neighborhood watch in training). He enjoys his bouncy seat, swing, exersaucer, and he's still thinking about liking his jumperoo. We decided last night he just plain enjoys life! He's such a happy, go-lucky baby and we are so blessed to be his ma-ma and da-da!

Wedding pics and just hanging out at home...

Last Friday I had the honor of being a bridesmaid for my good friend, Jess. So, we were able to capture a couple family pictures. Griffin even got to dance with mommy and daddy! I also added a few pictures of us hanging out at home. What a strong little boy we have! He has gotten very good about holding his head up. He thinks he's big stuff! He's just discovered the mirror and oh how he loves to look at himself and smile. It's priceless! We're so in love with this precious lil' being!

The bride and groom, Jess and Brandon!

Bailey says, "Okay...I've had enough now!"
"Oh Hi, Griffin!"
"My mommy and daddy keep telling me we'll be good friends, but I'm still not sure," says Bailey.
LOVE
Big Boy!
