6 Weeks Old!!!

Mommy went for her 6 week check up and everything went great! It is so hard to believe that it has already been 6 weeks! :) Seriously, where does the time go?
Life here as been great, Maddie is the cutest and best big sister ever! She helps me feed, burp, change diapers and hold the baby all day long. What a huge helper! She is also showing some interest in the potty. The other day, I was feeding Griffin and she kept saying, "Momma poop! Momma Poop!" So I said, hold on sweetie I will change you here in a second after I finish feeding the baby. Then I looked down and she had taken her pants off, laid down on the floor(as if i were changing her diaper) and took her diaper off. Then I looked to the side of her and there it was --- P-O-O-P on the floor!!! hahaha! I just laughed and said, well at least she is telling me that she pooped or had to at least. :) SO we are now, trying to use the "big girl" potty seat. I will let you know how it goes.
Baby Griffin is doing great! Sleeping longer hours which is wonderful - He is a night owl like his sister, but that is okay if he will sleep 5-6 hours at a time. He is going down about 11:30pm-12 midnight and staying down til about 5 or 6. then feeds and then goes back to sleep for about 3 hours! SO that is great :) we are all getting " a little" more sleep now!!! :) yeah!
ohhh forgot to mention, that Baby Griffin decided to make his mark at the OB's office today!!! I was just talking to Toya about her little boy and if he ever peed everywhere. She said yes, she got squirted in the face all the time. And then it happened, I was changing his diaper and turned to throw it away and there it went .... everywhere! On the wall, on his outfit on the floor and on me and the doctor! haha :) it was definitely a good relief for baby Griffin.
Also, wanted to say thank you to all of the visitors we have had over the past month. Thank you for all the help! Endless yummy meals, playing with Maddie, cuddling baby Griffin. We are truly blessed with such a wonderful caring family and friends!! WE cannot thank you enough!
Here are some pictures from more visitors and just hanging out with the kids. Enjoy til next post! (who knows when it will be, haha!)

Visitors! Visitors! Visitors!

We have been so blessed to have so many visitors in the past month. Thank you to everyone that has come to Charleston to help us out with our two little ones. I was trying to capture everyone that came to visit baby Griffin and Miss Maddie, but I did fail to a few. So I am sorry to those of you who did stop by and didn't get a chance to get a picture with the baby. (Allison, Allison Z., & Christy and Stacie- I am sorry we will have to get a picture of yall with the baby soon)
One month post will be coming shortly-- Hopefully that is :) Enjoy these pictures for now.

Baby Griffin has arrived!!!




Welcome Griffin Cofield, Jr.

Well, on February 18, 2009-- baby boy Griffin was born. He was born at 12:32 pm, weighed 7 lbs 8 oz, and 21 inches long. Healthy and cute as can be. We are enjoying every minute of our little boy. Maddie loves being a big sister, she is very nurturing and copies everything Momma does! It is a fun filled day as you can only imagine here at the Hendon house.
Griffin is eating and growing very well. Went to the doctor yesterday and he weighed in at 10lbs already!!! I cannot believe it 3 weeks old and 10lbs. What a porkchop :) I love it though. Here are a bunch of pictures that we have been able to capture.
Our black lab, Tucker, had surgery on his hind left leg this past Monday. He is doing as good as he can with a bum knee, but seems to be recovery nicely. Maddie says he has a "boo-boo" on his leg and kisses him and hugs him frequently throughout the day.
For now, here are some pictures! Enjoy - more to come soon.
