How is it that in LESS than 3 months We will have a ONE year old?! I always begin my monthly blog posts with how fast time is flying and it just keeps going faster and faster. I still remember the 1st 2-3 weeks of him first being home like it was yesterday. The amount of love we feel for this little guy grows and grows everyday! This month, I am happy to report that we have NO new teeth!! Haha. He has 6, we can work with that for now. I just feel so bad when they have teeth popping thru...he's been going at the teeth thing since July, he deserves a break. He's still eating everything under the sun. Except for strawberries and blueberries. I thought since he's been doing so great at breaking food down in his mouth that strawberries and blueberries would be a HUGE hit. Not so much. He had the one-eyed, sour-lipped, look on his face as soon as I popped them in his mouth. For Bri and I, it was about the funniest face we'd seen him make. Of course, by the time I got the flip video out he was gagging, and from there on out it just wasn't pretty! So...a little longer on those fruits. It is UH-MAZING how quickly he is picking up on things. He had a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal, dressed as Santa, under the tree all Christmas. He was sitting on my lap on the couch and I said, "Griffin, where is Mickey?" He turned, pointed to Mickey, I put him down and he crawled over to him and pulled him out from under the tree. I was like, "Oh MY!!!" Also, he's a huge fan of the Gator head. But, just the Gator head. B/c he has a full Albert on his shelf and doesn't quite get that it's a Gator. But he can point out the Gator heads on our clothes, drinking cups, and his Build-A-Bear doggie that is wearing a t-shirt with a Gator head on it. And he points and says "Derrrr." He has a HUGE bin of all different size balls and one of the smallest balls has a Gator head on it and I can say, "Griffin, find the Gator ball," and he will sift thru them all and pull it out!! I mean, pretty smart right? While most parents work on ears, mouth, teeth, belly button, nose (which he knows)...we decided to start with the important things in life....like our favorite college football team. I mean, Hey, if a portion of our money goes to paying off Daddy's education from that school every month, Griffin should grow up to appreciate it!! Haha!! Along with his love for Gator heads we also can ask him how big he is and he throws up his arms with a big smile...SO cute! He also imitates us snapping our fingers....and best of all??? He DANCES!! Whether he's in his car seat, high chair, sitting on the floor, or standing, our boy has rhythm!!! It's funny and cute and as soon as I can get a video, I will :-) But that's all for now friends and family!! We hope the New Year is treating you well!!
