Thanksgiving 2012!




 Thanksgiving 2012 was spent at the Boness Casa where we indulged in Turkey, Stuffing, Pie, Spirits and some family time...

Our little man put on a good show and behaved the whole day...
eat and sleep!  That's the way he rolls!



Of course, what Thanksgiving is complete without a little TURKEY BUTT!


 Great Grandma with Griffin...

and Great Auntie Roxy, Great Grandma and Griff!

Grammy and Grandpa Boness with Griffin!

 Final shot was with Great Grandma, Auntie Jenn, Cousin Jillian and Griff and I!
 

We have so much to be thankful for this year...
a healthy, happy baby boy,
a thriving business,
 a happy mom and dad,
a protective and loving big brother,
a bright outlook for the rest of 2012 and beyond!


THREE WEEKS OLD!

 Squeaks (formally known as: Griffin, Monster and Smelly)
is officially 3 weeks old and already RULING the Meyer Roost!
 
 

 I think this is the "Too much Mom" face!

Griffin already as so many friends (and Mommy has a great support group of friends)!
Starting with Griffin and going clockwise...
Griffin, Olivia, Charles, Owen, Carter and Asher!

This picture just cracked me up...
Super Griffin!

Part Thug, Part Chick Magnet!

The first ONESIE we ever bought....

and the one for his Cousin to tell everyone that Monster was one his way!

This is how quick we have to be with the camera at our house...I just wanted a picture of Griffin with his eyes open and BAM, Chukar was there to give Griff some morning loves!

 

A little perspective...Grandpa B's finger with Griff and then hanging out while Mom and Dad went to a client event!

 Mom all dressed up and ready to go!

Recovering from a long night...with Son #1!
 
It seems like Griffin is tracking us more and more each day with his eyes, reaching out to touch us, figuring out what his hands are and putting them in his mouth, he even figured out where his "man-parts" are and likes to touch those too!  Yes, he is a true little man!

TWO WEEKS OLD - a weekly recap!

Really, TWO WHOLE WEEKS...14 days since Monster arrived...a blur of excitement, amazed parents, a loving BIG brother, wonderful visits from friends and family....the journey continues.

Pictures are the BEST way to recap the week we had...and here are the pictures from Griffin's SECOND week!

Peacefully asleep...

Hanging out with his cousin Jillian...she is like "is this a doll or a snack"?
She loves him so much already and is constantly watching him whenever they are together!

Passed out...yes!
We consider any time he has his eyes closed a SUCCESS!

On Thursday, we had our first FAMILY outing (that wasn't a doctor's appointment)...
and went to HOME DEPOT!
Of course, the toilet breaks when you have a new baby and visitors all the time!

This swing is one of his favorite spots...and hangs out there when Mom & Dad try to get things done!

I told you he SLEEPS a lot!

On Friday, Griffin had his ONE WEEK appointment at the pediatrician's office.
He measured 20.31 inches in length (89%),
weighed 7.17 lbs (52%),
and had a head circumference of 14.45 inches (92%).

Saturday morning, we hung out with Grammy and Gramps Boness.....


and Auntie Jenn!
Look at all that HAIR!

Saturday was a BIG day...it was Griffin's FIRST bath!

Scrub a Rub-Rub!

So fresh and so clean...

After bath time, it was time to meet Grandma and Grandpa Meyer...

 and then a little special time with Grandpa Meyer!

Saturday evening was GAME TIME where Rich and I spent hanging out with the Griff...

Griffin was copying everything Rich did...or maybe Rich was copying what Griff was doing.
Either way, I found it adorable!!!

More copy cat games with Papa!

I can only imagine that Griffin is saying NO MORE PICTURES MOM....

Sunday was another day around the house and more visits from Grandma and Grandpa Meyer...
Griffin spent most the day passed out or watching football!

Grandma and Grandpa Meyer with Griffin....
  

 THREE Generations of MEYER BOYS...
Pretty Cool!
 
 
Really MOM, another picture....

Monday brought Rich's first day back to work and my first real day out of the house running errands with Grammy B.  Griffin had his first trip to Nordstrom, Babies R Us, and even Starbucks!

Plus, we were able to meet up with Papa late afternoon so he could get some LOVES!

Since so many pictures don't have EYEBALLS...
here is a little video where Griffin is WIDE-Awake and ready to party!

On Tuesday, Jillian and Griffin took me to a client and a doctor's appointment with Grammy.
Plus, I was approved to DRIVE again!  It was a BIG day!

Grammy hanging out with the kiddos at my client's office while I got some work done!

and then Griffin helping me get some things at another client's office so I could get some 
work done at home!

Tuesday night, we were able to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Meyer again before they had to head home on Wednesday.

Wednesday morning was a BIG DAY...
Griffin's NEWBORN photo shoot with the wonderful Tara from Red Thread Photography
and his TWO WEEK birthday!

Grammy came over early on Wednesday to help get Griffin cleaned up for pictures 
and allow me time to shower too!

All clean and ready to go...
Life is GOOD!

Seriously, this kid is a BIGGER poser than Chukar!


A little shot of our LITTLE family after the photo shoot...
Can't believe how lucky we are!

Post photo shoot...Chukar was worn out and Griffin was starving!
I swear, this picture takes place about every 2-3 hours around here!

He was an angel for all his pictures with Tara...
but as soon as I wanted to get his TWO WEEK picture,
he decided he had enough!

Great for the memories!
Our little SMELLY BOY!

And finally, a PICTURE from the photo shoot!
Thanks Tara for capturing our little angel!

Week TWO was so fun and full of a LOT of firsts!
Can't wait to see what Week Three holds...however, I would love for him to stay this small forever!
