Hand ...

Griffin is talking more and more lately, and is constantly demanding our hand to hold so he can show us something. He also points to where he wants us to play with him, like last night where he pointed to the floor next to his trains and said, "Daddy, here. Daddy, here." When I came over to join them, he said, "Mommy, no. Mommy no," waving me away ... He is just loving his new found voice! He switched it up in the evening saying, "Mommy, chair" when he wanted me to read to him before bed. When Josh came to join, he said, "Daddy, no." His parental preferences are pretty humorous (at least we tell ourselves they are!)

"Hand ... hand ..."

Griffin also loves running around ...

...he runs anywhere he can!

Another Camping Trip

We went camping near Carbondale with the Cornells on Saturday so we could hike at Hanging Lake on Sunday ...

The boys had so much fun playing on our air mattress!

The also loved this cement bench and spent lots of time on it. Griffin even shoved Bri off so he could sit next to Isaac on the bench!

Laughing at Joel

More fun on the bench

They finally got tired and started laying down on the bench!

Best Friends - Hugging

And as soon as they woke up in the morning - back to the bench!

Griffin and Josh hiking

Hanging Lake ... the pictures don't do it justice! It was so pretty it looked fake!

Day Out With Thomas

We took Griffin for a "Day Out With Thomas" on Saturday ... he was excited to see a real Thomas!

Checking out Thomas

It took about five minutes to get him to look at the camera, he was too busy checking out Thomas! I'm sure everyone in the line behind us thought it was just as cute as we did : )

Playing on a train

He clapped every time a train went by!

Playing at the playground

We spend time at the playground almost daily, and this time Griffin was being extra cute!

Coming off the slide

He has been trying to climb up this thing all summer and finally was able to do it last week!

This is a weird picture, but Griffin spent a lot of time bending over and looking through his legs ... he seemed genuinely amused and surprised that everything was upside down!

Griffin's 1st Day of "School"

Griffin had his first day of Parents Day Out last week. He did great; he didn't cry when I dropped him off and his teacher said he was, "such a sweetheart" ... I think it was my proudest moment yet! : )

Heading out the door with his lunch box

Showing off his lunch box ... he loved it!

He couldn't stop playing with it!

Yes, I made him sit by the sign to get his picture outside his school. I figure I can still do these embarrassing things until he's old enough to object!

Our Little G-Man

Our friend, Ben, who is a professional photographer (check out his website http://benjaminorsborn.com/) took some great pictures of Griffin at Cohen's birthday party last month!
