I am a great auntie again!! Kylie Shea was born this morning and weighed in at 6lb, 6oz and is 19 in long. Both mother and baby are doing well. I talked to Jess briefly and she said that labor was easier the 2nd time around. I had to work today, so I wasn't able to visit them- hopefully we'll be able to go tomorrow.

Griff can climb up on the kitchen chairs now- so nothing on the table is safe anymore!!

Ryan and I got out last night for some much needed time away from Griff. We went to my friend Halies house for a party & we all had to dress as a musician. We had a really fun time!

Here's a couple of pics of Griffins 1st real haircut. He did really well, considering I had my hair cut first. I kept him still by giving him some of his favorite snacks!

Griffin had his 15 month check up on Tuesday. It went well, and he's doing great. Of course, he was a ham the whole time- showing off to the nurses and the Dr. He really likes his Dr and even held his arms up for the Dr to pick him up! It was so cute.
So his stats are now: 31" long- 50th percentile
22lbs- 15th percentile

Last night was Margarita Night at my house. Angela, Brooke and Aaron came over with all the kids. So I made red rocker margarita chicken sandwiches, and of course pomegranate margaritas. YUM!! It was fun to visit with everyone, and spend some time with Sylas- he's so adorable in case I forgot to mention that before :) Actually all the kids are cute, and they were all so good- I think that they had fun.
Today is an overtime day for me here at work. I'm trying to get in my hours today so that I don't have to work on Tuesday (my day off). Griff has his 15 month check up, and I hate to have to reschedule that apt. This forced overtime is really getting ridiculous. I know that I should be happy to have a good job- and I am, really. It's just so hard to spend time with my family and work 6 days a week. I miss Griff and Ryan! The only good part about being here today is that it's not really busy, so I've spent a good part of my day on Facebook.

Here's some of the latest pics:

He got into my clean laundry and put on one of my t-shirts- he walked around the house like this all morning!


Here's our back deck after the last snow storm- I think that we got close to 2 feet of it.

Griff goofing around at lunch time.

This is the blanket that I crocheted for Sylas

Here's the valentines that I made for Griff's class.

How can we possibly be getting more snow?! It's supposed to start tonight and go until tomorrow night- seriously! I know - I'm not the only one completely sick of it, but I have to whine.
Anyway, we've been so busy lately at work that I rarely ever get a chance to get on here and do updates. First off- our friends Aaron & Brooke had their baby!! So a big congrats to them and Memphis on the birth of Sylas- he's sooo adorable. Totally makes me want another :)
Then last weekend Ryan and I had lunch with my friend Maureen, who I hadn't seen in a couple of years, and her husband Chad. Ryans parents watched Griff so that we could enjoy the afternoon. We really had a great time- it was nice to see her and meet Chad. I'm glad that we took the opportunity, and I hope that we don't wait so long to get together again. After lunch, Ryan and I stopped at Sears. Our vaccum broke, so we had to get a new one. We got the Dyson dc25 animal. I highly recommend it to anyone that has pets, and kids!!! I cannot believe how much crap that thing sucks up.
On Tues night I went to see the movie He's Just Not That Into You. In case anyone cares about my opinion- go see it. It's a cute movie. Obviously a chick flick, so don't force your guy to see it unless he likes those kinds of movies. Ryan does not- so I got Angela to go see it with me.

On the Griffin front- my little boy has just been so busy with getting big! It seems like everyday he learns something new. He seems to really like his daycare. At first, he cried whenever I dropped him off. Now, I put him down when we get there, and off he goes to play. Getting him to eat anything has been our new issue lately. He's become extremely picky- the only good part of it is that the stuff he will eat is healthy. We offer him a variety at every meal, but he just throws the stuff he doesn't want on his tray. So frustrating!!
I'll try to load the pics off my camera soon so that I can post some new ones on here. I took a couple of cute ones the other day.
