I'm free...

It took him exactly 21 months but this week Griffin figure out how to climb out of his crib. Darn.

Moving Day

Only a 20 month old could enjoy moving and all the boxes. Griffin certainly did.

Baby #2...It's a...

Mother's Day

The day started off great with Griffin coming in and saying "Happy Mother's Day!" And I got some beautiful flowers and a new pair of shoes. Little man has good taste :)

Then we headed to the Shedd Aquarium with Grandma to see all the fishies.

Griffin's favorite by far were the turtles, who say slow....

They have this great area near the penguins where kids can dress up like penguins and slide and climb around. Griffin was a very cute penguin and loved it. He also only refers to penguins as "Macaroni Penguins" thanks to the sister book to Brown Bear, Panda Bear.

It was a beautiful day in Chicago and an incredible view of the city.

I am the luckiest Mom in the world...

Baby 2!

Here is a picture of baby 2 from the 20 week ultrasound.

And, since we have a lot going on at the moment we have decided to wait until things have settled down and then find out whether we are having a boy or girl. We have the news in hand but for now it stays sealed up. Oh, the anticipation...

Easter Day 2011

We had a quiet, but wonderful, Easter at home in Chicago. Griffin was really curious about the Easter Bunny who brought and hid the eggs throughout our family room. He especially liked the decals on the windows that the Bunny left.

Then we made our way to the zoo to enjoy the little bit of sunshine we had this month. Griffin loved all the animals and we loved seeing his face light up and yell out each animal name and noise. The polar bear (Mom's favorite) was up for a performance and jumped in the water right in front of us and swam around. He now wakes up in the morning talking about the animals we saw at the zoo.

Our little bunny was hard to capture with the ears on this year but we managed to get a few shots...

And another picture of pure joy...

Happy Easter from Griffin
