tumblr

i've been neglecting my blog because i finally decided to get a tumblr. it's easier, faster, but i can't tell if i like it more or not. anyway, i'm sorry for neglecting you blog and i hope to write more often and keep this blog going. blogger is such a different community than tumblr, and i think i like blogger more. we'll see... i'll give tumblr some time.

life lately

griffin was sick for awhile (and is still pretty stuffed up) but he seems to be much better now. scott's working hard, and i've been implementing a new schedule around the house to make us keep up with our chores. it's gotten a lot easier since griffin has decided to sit up on his own and actually play by himself!! we have hardwood floors throughout the whole house which isn't very baby friendly, so we set up the pack & play in the living room so griff has a place to hang. it's been amazing. he will play in there forever, and it's allowed me to have free time to make lots of food for griffin. right now we have applesauce, yams, corn, potatoes, zucchini, peaches, and squash in the fridge for the boy right now. it's so wonderful to make his food. i just buy whatever we're eating that week and make him his own version of it. it's so easy, and inexpensive. it's the best way to feed the boy, and he loves it! he knows the sound of the food processor now and gets excited when he hears it. he's so cute.

today

one year ago today i got a phone call from a genetic counselor. she was calling to discuss the results of my AFP test and to schedule an in-depth ultrasound with a perinatologist to find out what was wrong with the fetus. this phone call changed our lives. it's just so incredible to think about how much has happened in our lives in the last year.

sick

we are all sick. have been for the whole week. griffin's been feeling sick since monday. he has a cold. it's so sad to see him all stuffed up and coughing. then scott got it, and now i have it. my mom generously watched griffin for a few hours so i could take a nap (and shower), which was amazing. for now, i leave you with this adorable photo of the griff, and hope we have more interesting things to share with you next week.

7 months old

today someone is 7 months old. i can't believe it! it feels like he just came home from the hospital and now, here we are, watching him play in his exersaucer and feeding him solid food. 7 month old griffin is tiny and we love it. he eats all the time and loves everything we give him. he's actually a pretty good and mellow baby, minus the screaming himself to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night. he says "dada" all the time, and loves to say "baba" and only says "mama" when he's screaming. he is learning to wave and is starting to say "hi". it's the cutest. he still doesn't sit up on his own, or crawl yet, but it'll come soon enough. we sure do love this little guy (but i'd love him a little more if he slept through the night)

lately

lately there's been a lot of screaming around the house. griffin screams himself to sleep, either laying on scott or me, or in his crib. he hardly naps, he won't sleep through the night. it's exhausting. i haven't posted in a month because i'm too tired to do anything but stare at griffin while he's either eating, sleeping, or bouncing.

so, please excuse my absence from the blogosphere for the last 30 days. i'm back... and i promise i'll try to post more often.
