Moving on from the worm...a little closer to crawling!

Doin the Worm!

He's not very graceful (yet!) but Griffin is slowing figuring out how to move. He can make his way across the room if he sees something he really wants, like an iPhone. Time to babyproof the house!

Griffin Goes Swimming

Spring is Here

Griffin is 7 months old and SO CLOSE to crawling! It is hard to capture on film but he does push ups on his tippy toes and just started to get up on his knees and rock back and forth. Life is about to change yet again!

And we celebrated Griffin's first Easter with a quiet weekend at home, a long walk, and going out to lunch. He actually wore the bunny ears for a while but did not want to smile for the camera. We won and finally captured one. And I would like to point out that Griffin wore his first tie for Easter. Thanks for the adorable shirt Kathryn!

At the end of winter Griffin had figured out how to take off his hat and now with the new season he has a new hat. This one he can't take off with the little strap....not yet.

Griffin Escapes his Car Seat!

Griffin is now 6 months old (okay almost 7 but the computer was out for a few weeks). He tips the scales at a whopping 18 lbs and is successful sitting up on his own about 90% of the time. With the weather getting better in Chicago, we thought we'd take him out to do some fun things.

Here he is in the swings at the little park by our house. Those of you in PA will notice the "Lion" suit ... contrary to popular opinion in Chicago, he's clearly NOT a bear!! :)

Here he is in the shopping cart for the first time ... nice to not have to push the stroller around, and he loves target almost as much as mom!

Here we are on a run by Lake Michigan with the super running stroller/bike trailer/pull sled that Grandma gave us for Christmas...

And his hair is hilarious! So long on the top and still bald in the back. The front kind of looks like donald trump! ... clearly something we need to change, but for now it's too funny!
