Fun weekend!

Griffin had his first big Friday night party. While we went to team sorting Griffin stayed with his cousin Briley. He was still awake when we got home at midnight! Although he was in good spirits like usual, it definitely made for an interesting Saturday. 

 This is Griffin enjoying lunch......he never came close to waking up. 

There wasn't enough time to get to the pumpkin patch (will try again next weekend) so we went to find buckeyes instead. 

We found Griffin's Great Grandpa on the tractor, so of course he had to get in and check everything out.

 Also enjoyed some riding in Daddy's lap on the farm......

Saturday evening we went to a benefit auction for a young guy from Cabool that has been wounded in Afghanistan. We got there early to drop off our crockpot of chili and Griffin was ready to go before the auction ever started.

I put him to bed at 6pm and he slept until the next morning. He and Briley must have had a big night. 

Sunday we celebrated Griffin's Great Great Grandma's 99th birthday! Can't wait for the big 1-0-0 next year!

the birthday girl!

 

pretty much impossible to get these 2 looking and smiling

 

That afternoon we went to our second baby shower of the month, for another potential girlfriend for Griffin. Although this one had no pretty young girls his age for him to hug, we still had a nice time. 

And more random snaps from playing outside:

look what I found!

"I'll bring it to you bubby"

14 Months Old

In addition to the super easy setting for the monthly pics, I've gone a step further into lazyville and decided I'm just going to slap the sticker on whatever he is wearing that day. This shirt makes it a little hard to see but I think it still gets the job done.

He still weighs right about 22 lbs. Loves to point at everything and is saying some consistent "words"....... we just still need to figure out what exactly he's talking about. He's also going through a very loving stage where he hugs a lot and kisses some. See these photos from a baby shower we attended a couple weekends ago:

before she started crying

 

My wedding photographers were there (she hosted the shower with her sisters/her husband handled the camera) and took these sweet shots:

 

This month had another "first time" event. Griffin fell asleep in his high chair. Drew and I were just talking about the fact that it had never happened days before. Drew was actually up in South Dakota at the time so I had to record it for him. I was able to change Griffin and put him to bed after pulling him out of the high chair. He must have been exhausted, he woke up the next morning like usual!

For the record....

Yesterday was a bad day for Griffin. He didn't get a nap in (maybe 10 minutes during transportation) and when I got to daycare to pick him up I had 2 accident reports to sign!

The first was for a busted lip caused by falling on the gym floor when he was "running".....sad that word is being used in reference to my little baby. He's growing up too fast and getting very quick on his feet. Notice his lip already had a spot from a fall in the driveway the night before.

he already had big lips....

looks huge from underneath!

The other accident, and one I want to document, involved another little girl. Apparently, she and Griffin were fighting over a toy, and the end result was a bite to Griffin's arm. I found it a little comical since Griffin's cousin Peyton went through a rough time of being bitten at her daycare. I remember the agony my sister went through dealing with it, and just hope Griffin does not become the biter someday!

didn't even break the skin

 

 This was his 2nd and 3rd accidents at daycare, the first was his fault alone when he ran into a wall and bumped his head. Hopefully they are his last!

We have been going non-stop it seems. I haven't had time to post, so here is a random group of pics/videos:
