December is on flying by...

 Week 5 and Week 6 have come and gone...and our little man is becoming quite the little hunka-hunka-burning love!  Loving, Laughing, Smiling, Farting, Burping and being an adorable little boy!

Seems that he is becoming a good sleeper...but has some moments where he just wants to party.  

His little "wolf-pack" outfit is getting too small for those long legs, 
as he is moving from Newborn to 0-3 month clothes!

So alert...and a little yellow!  Yes, his bilirubin levels are still high, but on the border so no treatment right now...looks like another re-test at his 2 month check up on the 4th of January.

Growing up too fast...already has a little facial hair!  Rich is jealous that Griffin could grow a mustache in only 6 weeks...it takes him about 3 months!

Hanging out with Heather (and a full diaper and high-waters)....celebrating the holidays!

My boys...Stinky and Squeaks!

The first born claiming the couch for himself.

Our first night out...real night out without Griffin was to celebrate Amanda's birthday!  So fun!

And this is what Griffin did with Grammy and Grandpa while we were celebrating.

Just a poser...with his Elephant (currently retired from too much love from Chukar).

OOOOOH.  LAAAAAA.  LAAAAAA.

Hanging out with my Cousin Jillian.

Napping with my brother...one of my favorite things to do!

We've discovered that Giffin sleeps best in his swing...so swing he does!

Bath time....after I had a MAJOR explosion up my back. Wipes just wouldn't cut it!

Getting into the Christmas Spirit with my festive Rudolph socks from Great Auntie Roxy.

More holiday cheer to be spread with my Cousin.

Timber!  Looks like Griff has antlers on...too cute!

Friday bath time at Grammy's!

Loving my Cousin's tub...and the warm water!

Griffin's 1st trip to the DIRTY BIRD...

And then the Shanty Cafe to meet his Uncle Chris.  Yes, fine dining at it's best for Griffin.

All my boys...pure LOVE!

Posing at the pediatrician's office...Griffin weighs 10 lbs, 5 oz (3 lbs up from birth weight)!

Getting ready to go see my friend Beckett!

Hanging out with one of my best friends!  
B & G = best buddies 4-eva!

Just hanging out...in MY BIG BOY SIZE 1 DIAPERS....yes, the newborn ones are done.  Tear, tear.

My Little GQ boy! 

So handsome in his sweater from Auntie Becky.

I just love that he looks like a "little man" in these pictures.

First trip to Octo Sushi and meeting Ms. Kaylin....instant love!

Finally ready to attend a sporting event...hahah!

Another few weeks are done...and an exciting couple weeks to come!  Tonight we are off to Griffin's 1st Sporting event...the Cougar Hardwood Classic, then tomorrow the Christmas adventures begin with a trip to Kennewick to visit Grandma and Grandpa Meyer and Uncle Chris and Uncle Shawn.  

Until we meet again....

Another week...another week...and our LITTLE MAN is getting so BIG!  Already 5 weeks old and ready to drive a car, read a book and move out.  Ok, maybe not, but he SMILED this week.  Again..and again...and again! 

Smiling with his eyes...pure JOY!!!

Ready for Infant and Mommy Yoga!

Relaxing with Grammy!

Chukar hanging with Grandpa.

You looking at me...I don't think so!

Look at how BIG I'm getting!!!!

I am already growing a MUSTACHE!

Passed out with Heather...she is the "Griffin Whisperer".

LIGHTS OUT...Stinky and Squeaky!  Best Friends for LIFE!

It's Beginning to FEEL a lot like CHRISTMAS!


Merry Christmas from Griffin and Santa to all of you!!!!
Christmas came early to Rich and I this year in the form of a happy & healthy little BOY...
we couldn't be any happier or more excited to share the Christmas spirit this year!

 A little picture of Griffin before we went to visit Santa.

Griffin's 1st Christmas tree search...
This year, the search was local, but next year, it's off to cut down our own tree!

Group Shot getting the tree!

The tree all lit up and ready to go!

Papa with his boys!

Mama and Grif!

The stockings were hung....
 

Our home...starting to feel a little like Christmas!

December is already flying by...time to get the Christmas cards addressed and plans for the New Year finalized!  Where did 2012 go!!!  We have so much to be thankful for and are excited for the holiday season!  Much love to everyone!!!

ONE MONTH PHOTOS


 ONE MONTH ALREADY....Can't believe how big our little man is getting (and so much fun)!!!

A few pictures to mark the momentous occasion!





Griffin is ONE MONTH OLD and Rich and I are settling into being parents, living off of coffee and little sleep!  The days are definitely better than the nights, but Griffin has been a trooper dealing with us as parents. 

 A few things that Griffin is doing in MONTH ONE:
  • He has started to follow his mama and papa and is recognizing our voices
  • He smiles (and it's not just gas)
  • He has found his "man-parts" and isn't afraid to play with them
  • He has found his hands and likes to put them in his mouth 
  • He has peed on both Rich and I
  • He visited Santa for the 1st time and also got to help pick out the Christmas tree
  • He has learned that he can sleep for 5 consecutive hours without needing to eat

Weekly Pictures

Another week...and this one brought Griffin's 1st Apple Cup!  Rich and I headed out to an early breakfast before the game with our little fan and then separated to our own TV's to watch the game...Rich at home with Chukar and I was off to my parent's with Griff!

He was such the neutral fan...signalling TOUCHDOWN for both teams.  When all was said and done, the Cougs were victorious and Griffin will be sporting the Crimson and Gray next year for Apple Cup!  It was a hard fought game.....

Friday, while Mom did some work, Great-Grandma took Griffin off my hands...
he is such a handful!!!!

Then, Grammy gave Griff a bath (in his cousin's tub)...
HE LOVED IT (and so did Grammy)!!!


Friday Night, Rich, Griffin and I went over to Bryan and Michaela's for dinner...and hung out with Alison and Emily!  He now has more potential ladies...he loves Cougars!

After all was said and done, Rich and I had some snuggle time with our boys!
  Love that they get along so well!

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...

a protective and loving big brother,
a bright outlook for the rest of 2012 and beyond!
