With Chip gone for the week to China, I thought it was going to be a very long week! But we packed a ton of things into it and stayed so busy it went by so fast and now we are eagerly awaiting his return! Here are a few pics from a glimpse into our lives these days!
GRIFFIN turned 9 months on Wednesday.
He is 18.5 lbs.
28 1/4 inches long
10% for head!!!
He is SOOOO smiley ALL the time - LOVE his cute little face!
If you look at him and smile you always get one back - he doesn't crawl but sits up and turns himself around or scoots to get things on his bum!
He loves to put EVERYTHING in his mouth! He babbles all the time, drools like crazy altho still doesn't have any teeth, and can say......MAMA!!! Yep, I say it every day to him over and over and now he says it too - altho mostly when he is really tired or upset! He is so much fun and we just love him to pieces!
We went up to DC for a fun playdate with my friend Sara and her kids Roxie and Sawyer - Roxie is 2 weeks older than Cash and they got along great - too bad we don't live closer. On the way home Cash said "Roxie lives far away - that is so sad!" My thoughts exactly! Sarah did my hair - which i will post a pic soon - (she always does exactly what I want) and we got to catch up, introduce our little boys to each other, and take the kids to the park - a very fun day!
Ready, set, SLIDE!
Roxie and Cash after a trip down the slide. Best buds already!
Griffin enjoyed the swing - he giggled the whole time!
Cash can sit in the swings for hours - he always wants to be pushed "higher mom, higher! do an underdog!"
I tried to get a good video of Griffin laughing so hard cuz his giggle is so cute, but didn't fully capture how much he was enjoying it - still, check out that smile!
We went to the park a bunch, 2 institute classes on Friday where Cash had a blast both times in the nursery playing with friends, Soccer practice where he spent more time throwing grass with his friend Karas than anything else, got mad when he couldn't play football with the bigs boys, and then kept leaving to kick the ball in the older group's practice. He also refused to wear his jacket, saying "mom, Jimmer doesn't wear a jacket when he plays - he sees his numbers on his tank top, and so his tank top was on backwards and altho freezing, literally, he ran around with no jacket. I did get him to eat all his food for dinner tho telling him that Jimmer eats all his food! He wants to be just like Jimmer and tells everyone he is a basketball player like Jimmer! (maybe there is hope yet to have him really want to play bball - my favorite!) He also was the first one and only one to stop and ask a little boy who fell while running up the hill if he was ok and tell him he would wait and run with him - he is so sweet and full of the funniest sayings - very fun stage!
The highlight was Friday night going to 5 cent icecream cones at Kohrs (custard). We went with our friends the Crofts and it was delicious! Cash wanted coconut flavor, and was a little disgruntled when I told him they didn't have that flavor! (that was what we got EVERY time we went to the silk market in China at the Italian Gelato stand). However, he settled on banana and ate his entire cone! He then wanted to play fights with Pierce - and it was funny and had a lot of people watching - we tried to capture a little clip - the facials were definitely the best!
The Croft family enjoying their cones - yum yum!
Cash digging into his!
Yum Yum!!! He loves it!
Now it is raining and soccer games our cancelled, and we are going to stay inside, clean house, watch a movie, read some books, and make some cookies!! Then daddy will be home!
YEAH!!!! What a great and busy week!
