Baby Update......

So today we had the first ultrasound in downtown Boston :) so far it looks like things are going well with griffin's little baby fetus. We did an early risk assessment screening today where they do a blood test and look for chromosone abnormalities (down syndrome). From the look of things so far everything looks good. Hopefully Griffin will have a healthy little brother or sister in 6 months. The Dr. that did the sonogram said she thinks a better due date is February 3, 2008, but you know how that goes. Sometimes they come early or sometimes they are big meatballs like Griffin and come 10 days late!!!!!!! Anyway, all is well over here and on Thursday we ship out to Florida for 3 weeks, but we will be taking lots of pics posting new updates.

Untril next time...............

Fetus Update

tomorrow we go downtown for like a 2 1/2 hour dr. appointment, we will see an ultrasound :) i'm sure that griffin will be on his best behavior! After the appointment I will do a new post to fill everyone in on how it went. until then here is a pic of griffin from this past weekend at the beach. Enjoy!

Fetus Update

Hi, so yesterday I went to the doctor and it appears that so far so good. I was able to hear the heartbeat and it was nice and strong at 170. Jason was just glad to hear that there was only one heartbeat b/c he has been having nightmares about us having twins :) So last night he slept like a baby :) We are now at 3 months so only 6 more short months to go with this baby. Next week I go to florida for 3 weeks-can't wait, and then once I get back I have another appointment at the doctor. We will be able to find out the sex at week 18-20 (hopefully 18) so in a little less than 2 months would be great.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that everything is looking good so far.

Until next time............

The Meatball is walking!!!!

Can you believe that the meatball is walking!!!! I can't!!!! It is crazy, I thought he was hell on wheels when he was crawling, but that was nothing! Now he is in to everything, and i mean everything! Poor Bentley, he sees griffin coming after him and he runs the other way :)

I can't beieve such a little thing can be so fast and all over the place! but it really is the cutest thing to see him wobble as he walks all over the house :)

Well, just wanted to let you know that he is walking and doing great.

I go to the doctor on Monday so I will fill everyone in on how it went afterwards.

Until next time...............

Griffin is going to be a big brother :)

My little cry baby is going to be a big brother in January!!!!! can you believe it!!! We are now accepting applications for a nanny :) :) :)

Griffin's birthday weekend

Here's a few pictures from Griffin's first birthday! He had a great time with his family and we can hardly believe that a year has gone by. If you look closely in one of the pictures you will see that he has a keystone light in his hands ( like father like son). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Until next time......

Sugar High

My boy likes his sugar :)

I'm so Proud!

I'm so proud of my little man! I guess he is picking for gold :)

Red Sox Pics

Okay here are some pics from Griffin's first Sox game. And we won 8-0 :)

Until next time..............

Easter Pictures

Here's a few pictures from the easter weekend when my mom and dad came for a visit. I hope you enjoy the pics of the meatball :)

Until next time.........

Grffin Update

So Griffin is 10 months old- i can't believe it!!!!! I guess that means that once we move it is time to start trying for another one :) So anyway, last week me and Griffin were both sick, we had it coming out of both ends- it wasn't pretty!!!! But we are now better than ever!

Griffin is busy getting ready for my mom and dad to come visit for easter, then again for his birthday, then we go to Florida for 3 weeks at the end of July. We are hoping that since we move in less than one month-BTW- we only have 6 boxes packed so far!!!!! Anyway, we hope that once we move we will get lots of company- HINT HINT HINT!!!

Griff is busy crawling all over and babbling like crazy. He loves to chase Bentley around, not too sure how boo feels about it but he really doesn't have a choice. Well, nothing else to report but will get back to everyone soon with soem Easter pics :)

Until next time.................

Just for you mom

Mom, just for you... a picture of Griffin from the tumble gym on Wednesday :)

Is it weird????

Is it weird that two times this week I have had 2 dreams that me and Paris are BFF's????

(Mom, BFF means best friends :) )

Until next time.........

Wishful Thinking

So I figured that since I always write about Griffin, I would do a post with Jason. Don't worry, I will do a Griffin post later this week for the 2 readers of my blog :)

So, anyway, I figured most men wished that they had a 9 foot penis and that is why this picture was kind of funny. This is Jason's version of the snowman, just kidding. We were driving and saw it, so yes Jason made me stop and take a picture of him holding the giant dick. anyways, that's all for now.

Until next time..........

What's New With Us

Well, I figure I would take this time to fill you in on what is new with us. As you probably already know, we are moving in a little over a month. We are building a new house in Amesbury, MA. This town is about an hour commute to downtown Boston, but we are right near the coast, New hampshire and Maine. So that means, lots of fun weekend outings :) And of course I haven't even started to pack yet, oh well, I'm sure we will get around to it sooner or later.

What else, oh yeah my mom and dad are coming up for Easter and Griffin's birthday and we are hoping to have a few vistors coming to visit us this summer :) Then at the end of July we will be making a 3 week trip to Florida for fun in the sun.

Griffin is doing well. He had his 9 month checkup this week and he no longer has his ear infection :) He still has no teeth but that's okay. He weighs 19 pounds and is 30 inches long! Other than that, not too much else to report.

Until next time..............

new blog post coming soon

I PROMISE TO UPDATE WITH A NEW BOG THIS WEEK :) IT HAS BEEN CRAZY OVER HERE WITH MOVING IN ONE MONTH AND GRIFFIN BEING SICK..........

Tough Love

So, for the past 9 months we have been rocking Griffin to sleep at night and for nap time. This means that he can't fall alseep on his own when we put him in his crib. When he wakes up at night he needs us to rock him back to sleep. So my doctor said I have to get out of this habit ASAP before it gets worse. So as we speak, I have had Griffin in his crib for the past 30 minutes and all he has done is cry, I just want to go pick him up and rock him to sleep, but I am sticking to my guns, I hope :)

So if anyone has any tips or ideas to make this process go along any smoother please please let me know.

Until next time..........

9 Months Old Today!

This week he gets back into his regular routine wtih story time and yoga tots. We are also going to try out a new tumble gym with some of his buddies this week. I will be sure to take lots of pics. Oh yeah, for those of you wondering, he stil has no teeth :)

Until next time............

Griffin is back :)

So we are back from Florida and finally getting settled to being home. Griffin had so much fun in Florida that we are planning on going back again for a few weeks in July to soak up some sun and fun :)

While in Florida Griffin had so much fun. He went boating, played outside, went to the zoo, went shopping, went to eat at many many restaurants, went to the beach and saw family. He really learned to crawl while there and stand up as well. Now this kid is all over the place and standing everywhere, he is a handful, but I love it!

Now that we are back we are getting back to our routine of story time, yoga, and whatever else we can find to fill his active schedule :) This kid is always doing something and he never wants to sit still. I can't believe that he is almost one year old...CRAZY!!! Anyway, just wanted to update everyone on how we were doing.

Until next time...........

We are home

So we are finally back to Boston, and boy is it cold!!!! I am going to try and do a new post tonight or tomorrow so be sure to check back later for a new blog.

Until next time......
