This is my little guy with his face buried in his crib. He loves his face covered when he sleeps and he has been like this since he was born. I still check on him way too often to make sure he is still breathing!

He is loving his graham crackers! However he only loved them for two days. After that he wouldn't eat them, he would just smash them up and throw them to the floor. That means the dog gets to eat it and Buddy stays close by when George is eating. He learned quickly that things get to the floor way more often now.

He is 7 months old now. Here a couple of pictures taken on January 23rd.

You can see his awesome Mohawk! He is one cool dude!

6 Months old

Christmas came and went and it was fun, mostly for Ryan and I. George was just happy to look at all of the lights on the Christmas tree. He is now a little over 6 months old and he is just starting to get a little independent. He almost sits on his own and he almost eats "solid" food. I mean I can get him to take a few bites without him gagging but he doesn't just open up his mouth and take whatever I give him. The only time he open his mouth for me is when I am sharing some ice cream with him, well, and this past Sunday he did very well with Grandma Griffith's yummy mashed potatoes. We keep trying all of the other good stuff too!

These pictures were taken around Christmas time:
1. Ryan playing with George in his bedroom with funny hats on
2. Tyson and George on Christmas Day (they didn't want their picture taken I guess, because they both starting fussing when I picked them up)
3. George showing off to grandma and grandpa how well he can sit up on his own
4. Just being his regular happy boy.

At his last weigh in during his 6 month check up he was 17.4 lbs and 26 inches long. That is just a little above average on height and weight. He wakes up every morning with a huge grin on his face and it is a very nice way to start the day.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So remember "lame-o" Valley Fair Mall? Well it’s not so lame anymore! They have remolded the outside and added lots of great restaurants. For Christmas they have a light show with music and a huge Christmas tree. So we headed down with Grandma and Grandpa and Katelyn for a few photos Sunday night and it was so cool! We got there just in time to see a great show and then there was 30 minute break before the next one started, so I felt like we were lucky. Then Monday night Ryan and I took George down to see the lights at Temple Square. He slept through most of if but before we left he woke up and we snapped a few photos. He was very interested in all of the lights and people and cars going by. It was fun to watch him watch them!

5 months old

The picture of George in his daddy's Texas hat was taken the day he turned 5 months old, November 23rd. He is smiling only because his Dad is looking at him, because that's what is always does when he see's him!

Some quick pix and now back to work!

Eating and Sleeping

Baby George has now begun to eat "solid" foods. He loves his squash and rice cereal as the pictures show!

4 months and Halloween

Well George was 4 months old...a few weeks ago! He doesn't look so thrilled to be posing with the metal Jack O' Lantern but it was October 23rd and my batteries in the camera were about to die so I snapped a few shots and called it good! The other pictures of George were taken at my Mom and Dad's house on Halloween. I love the pictures of George and Buddy with their tongues out! I have also included a picture of my friend from work Megan and her baby boy Beckett from our work Halloween party. He is 2 and half weeks older than George. Megan and I had a lot fun being pregnant together and now raising boys at the same time. They are both great little boys!
