Weekend pics

This is called Fun

We have learned that one 3 and a half month old baby boy is a lot of fun! Here are some picture from the weekend. We went for a walk around the lake at Daybreak, we went to our nephew Conner's football game, we went to dinner at Johnney Corino's and George jumped and jumped in his Jungle Jumper. He is getting so good at it now!




Life is good.

3 Months Old

 

 

 

 

This dear, sweet child of mine lights up his daddy like a Christmas tree. He brings Ryan and I so much joy and we are so grateful for him. His smile and laughs are priceless! He sleeps in the middle of our bed most nights. I hesitate to post that fact but it's true and we love him there with us. He has very strong legs and loves to stand up and jump, jump, jump. Ryan sings to him "Mexican jumpin' bean, Mexican jumpin bean"! That is one of the many songs that Ryan has come up with and sings to George. His neck is now strong enough to hold his head up in the jungle jumper. He loves to be able to jump on his own and we love to sit and watch him! His hair is VERY thin on one side and I am hoping the other side will thin out the same and then he will have a killer Mohawk!

Back to work

Tuesday was my first day back to work after spending 12 long weeks with baby George. I had mixed emotions about going back. I will miss being with George all day and our 3 hour afternoon naps but it will be nice to see my friends and bring home a pay check. These pictures are from my sister-in-law Carly, she was so kind to watch George for us on my first day back to work. As you can see from the pictures, he was being loved while I was away and that gave me so much peace!
Yesterday we took him for his two month check up, he has gained 5 pounds and grew 4 inches from his birth. He is getting so big!

Blessing

George was Blessed last Sunday, September 5th 2010 by his Grandpa Griffith. Our nephew Conner was blessed almost 12 years ago in the same clothing. Here are the two of them in my parents back yard at the lunch we had with the Griffith's and the White's after. It was a beautiful day and it was so fun to have our families together again. I want to thank both of our families for all of their love and support. I felt so much gratitude that evening as I was reflecting on the day. During the Sacrament, after the blessing, my Father, Mother and even my older brother Aaron bore their testimonies. There was just a special spirit there and I felt so much love. I am so grateful for our little boy and his spirit in our home.

Ryan and George

My two favorite guys!
...And I just learned how to do this! Yea!

George is 2 months old

George is so Great! Just 2 months ago today he come into our world and turned it upside down. I can honestly say I am so glad we are at two months and at not two months ago. I could have never imagined how much work a tiny person would be but now we are at a good place. I am still getting up to feed him 3 times a night and we both nap each morning or afternoon. Ryan takes a shift for me on the weekends but during the week he sleeps right though it. I don't know how I am going to manage working full time and getting up at night with George. I have about 3 weeks before real life will hit me and I go back to working. I feel lucky to have this time with the baby. He is on the verge of rolling over and he loves to "talk" to us.

We took this photo this afternoon today. Buddy didn't move. He loved that we were all down on the floor with him!
