A few new tricks...
At 3 1/2 months old Griffin has a few new tricks ...
We have been itching to put the bouncer together for Griffin for months. And even though it said 4 months, he is so 'advanced' that we put it together a few weeks early. He really likes it and will entertain himself for a while and stretch out those strong legs. His favorite sides so far are the frog that spin and the happy sun.
Btw, we really don't think he's any further along than other babies of his age, but we do get a laugh out of of all the parents who think their kids are doing things faster than any other baby in the history of babies!!
The latest way to make Griffin smile and giggle are a few songs from one of my favorite childhood movies: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I even had to sing it this week in public to get him to smile while on Santa's lap. Here's a happy boy at home.
He has found his thumb and his toes! He really only sucks his thumb when he is sleeping but we captured this moment right after he woke up. It must be so frustrating that his thumb has been there this whole time and he just found it.
The morning nap seems to have finally fallen into place too. Since we got home from Thanksgiving he naps in the morning for a good hour or hour and half. I usually nap too :) Any sleep is good sleep.
And finally, Gary gave him a new hairdo after a bath this week...a mohawk! Clearly he was quite enthused with his new do!

Thanksgiving in PA
We spent Griffin's first Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania. And that meant his first airplane ride too. It was so much fun to see lots of family and friends. We are so happy that he was able to meet everyone.
Some memorable comments from the week:
"Now I understand why they make baby combs!"
"He's about half the weight of Aunt Juliann's turkey!"
"The poor little guy woke up from every nap for the last week in a new house!"
He earned his wings on his first flight ... and lucky for us slept the whole way to PA, and most of the way home.
Oma at Aunt Bekah and Uncle Ben's dancing under the caribou!
Grandma at Aunt Sylvia's -- one proud grandma!
Aunt Amanda and Grand B at B's house - he clearly loved the living room fan! :)
Great Grandmother Nicki in Philadelphia having a heart to heart talk
Great Papa Don at Papa's house
He loved sitting in Papa's lap and Papa couldn't get enough of holding him!
Uncle Bill trying to feed him just one more leg of turkey!
Family Picture on our first Thanksgiving at Uncle Bill and Aunt Juliann's house ... yes Griff's french giraffe, Sophie, is a part of the family too!

Fun with Vowels Video
Please don't ask why I was saying the vowels to Griffin but he loved it. I come up with lots of ways to entertain us both throughout the day. These were some of the best laughs he has had yet.
