It seems like we've had something to do every weekend lately, but I'm trying to enjoy the time together since hunting season is right around the corner and we won't see much of Dada then.
On Saturday we drove down to the lake for my company picnic. Griffin was all over the place.....trying to hang out with other kids at the playground, climbing in chairs and on top of coolers. Many of my wonderful co-workers took turns keeping an eye on him. I tried water skiing for the first time and Griffin took his first boat ride. He was intrigued by the power of the boat when it took off and settled in quickly (almost went to sleep). When it was my turn to jump out of the boat he perked right up and smiled/waved to me from the back seat. I even got several claps from him when I was finished and climbing back in!
Sunday we celebrated Drew's 29th birthday. Time sure does fly when you are having fun, seems like we were in high school yesterday. Speaking of fun, Griffin is learning how to "play with trucks". I don't think he was doing it in this video, but he tries to imitate the truck sound made when Drew or I push one around. It's pretty cute.
Also, the sleep sheep that has been around since Griffin was born is now playing a critical role. He had been going to bed effortlessly, then all of the sudden started putting up a little bit of a fight. We found that if we gave him the sheep, he would curl up with it under his arm and almost instantly go to sleep. As long as it remains a bedtime only stuffed animal facination I think I will be just fine with it!
