3 Months Old Today!!!

Happy 3 Month Birthday!!!

(excuse the snowflake pjs... hand-me -downs!)

Three months old, where does the time go?!? It seems like yesterday that we were driving to the hospital getting ready to meet our little boy! We have had such a great time watching little Griffin grow. It is so amazing to see how they develop into their own little person. Maddie is so great with him and we are so proud of her for being the best big sister ever!
Griffin is doing so wonderful... he is sleeping well, eating great, starting to be able to sit up a little, playing, smiling and now LAUGHING!!! yeah :) I love it all! My family is coming in this weekend and then we are all heading up to Myrtle Beach, SC for a few days to enjoy some fun in the sun and sand with Aunt Meggy, Addison, Anna, Auntie Erin, Grammy & Mammy!!! How fun... cannot wait to go and get some good pictures ofcourse! Til then~

Summer Afternoons at the Beach~

Well if you live anywhere near the beach or in the hot & humid South you will appreciate these pictures even more. Every day it is hot and steamy in the mornings creating the wonderful 20% scattered thunderstorms in the afternoons. So this is what we did on our Friday afternoon... since we had to cancel our playground playdate! :( Sad...

a little of this....

a lot of that....



on a day like this!!!!

Mother's Day in Auburn ~ 2009!

We packed up the car and headed to Auburn, Alabama on Friday May 8th for Aunt Mary Kyle's (ka-ka) graduation. It is always so fun to be back in the place that Cole and I met. We love Auburn and love every chance we have to get back there to hang out. Congratulations to Mary Kyle on her graduation!!!
We also spent Mother's Day at a wonderful brunch at the Auburn Conference Center, hanging out in the hot tub at the hotel, having pizza dinner with Cole's family, and then at a great park in Auburn. What a great day... and then we had to leave and drive the 6.5 hours back to Charleston. Poor Cole-- he drove the whole way! What a sweet husband!!! here are some pictures from the weekend.

BIG NEWS!!!

Big News!

Maddie has been showing interest in the potty for a few weeks now, but Sunday night she really did it! Yeah!!! She said, "Momma Potty" and so she took off her diaper and we ran back to the potty room and she sat there and went potty! I could not believe it, I don't know who was more excited me or her. So then last night, she said it again and did a "little potty" in her big girl potty!!! YEAH for Maddie ~ and she gets two "gummies" every time she does it.
Ever since she saw Addison doing it, she has wanted to do it more and more, but up until now, she would just take her diaper off and say potty... but really she has already just gone in her diaper. So this should be a fun transition! Other than that, and the talking up a storm.. she is doing GREAT!!! Cannot believe that she will be 2 years old next month.. how crazy!
Griffin, has not been sleeping that well.. but last night he slept 7.5 hours straight!!! First time in a week since he has done that. We are so proud of him and hope that this trend continues over and over again :)
Here are some recent pictures~ Enjoy!
