Griffin is 2 months old!!!

...well, he was on the 16th. I have already admitted that I am a loser when it comes to my blog latlely so cut me some slack, haha.

Anyway, Griffin is 2 months old. He had his checkup on the 19th and weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs, lol. He is growing well though, and his size is great for a preemie. He eats every 3-4 hours STILL...hopefully he can start eating more so he will sleep longer at night. He is still having some "goop" in one of his eyes but the doctor gave us some ointment so hopefully it will help. He had to get 4 vaccines but was pretty brave through the whole thing but did show us how he had mastered the "pouty face".

He is a very happy baby and is staying awake most of the day now. He loves to lay in the floor in his room and look around.

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

im a slacker..part 2

let me apologize. i guess with a 3 year old, a 6 week old, part time job, and home remodel i didnt have much blogging time left. so much has happened here lately so ill try to squeeze it all in here.

-we got our floors installed. praise the lord. this has been a long process because of course as soon as we got them installed and the mess cleaned up..our icemaker started leaking and water ran UNDER the floors in the kitchen so they had to be pulled up, dried, and reinstalled...TWICE!

-of course day one of flooring installation...our washer went out. so we bought a new set...our first appliance purchase ever...everything else was hand-me-downs or came with the house. i went out with intentions of buying a nice shiny front load system but found a top load system with the same features and capabilities but none of the hassel or worry of that front seal leaking.

-griffin is now 6 weeks old. i cant believe it!! he is doing great and man can that boy eat!! we went to the pulmonologist yesterday so he could have his final rsv shot. thank goodness he came toward the end of the rsv season or it would have been a shot every month! he weighed 7lb 90z. he loves to snuggle and take a bath with his sissy. we have only had one scary moment with him and that was yesterday when his tongue frenulum tore. i knew it was long and was going to ask the pediatrician about it at his 2 month visit but it ripped while he was eating a blood started pouring out of his mouth. my first instinct was oh no, he bit his tongue but then i was like wait...he doesnt have teeth. it scared me to death. here are a few snapshots from home.

i guess thats all the news for now. i hear someone racing up and down my street so i have to go be an old lady and yell at them to slow down....the joys of "growing up"

A-MA-ZING

ok, let me just start with...i have never ever taken good photos...ever

but....now that mrs.apryl is around..i can actually hang a photo on my wall and not cringe every time i pass it.

here are some more from our session. i am telling you, book a session with this lady. she is so great with kids and has some of the cutest ideas!

just call her picasso...

i have been meaning to post this forever and just ran across the photo in my computer. just before i went into the hospital the 2nd time around we went to lunch at pf changs after a doctors appointment. aubree got bored, as usual, and started drawing on her napkin. here is what she came up with.

the picture quality is terrible because i took this with my phone in a dark restaurant but check it out...not bad for a 3 year old. i asked her who it was and she said princess aubree so i am guessing its a self portrait.

Sneak Peek!!

Here are the sneak peeks from our session with Apryl. I am in love with these photos so far!!!!

*Oh happy day*

I am quite possibly the happiest girl in the world right now!

First...We took some awesome pictures with Apryl this morning! I can't wait to see them. I know they are going to be amazing. Everything that comes out of her camera turns out great!

Second...I got my floors! Well, I ordered them, and they will be here next week. Anyone that knows me can tell you that I hate the floors in this house and have griped since day one to have them replaced so I am a happy happy girl. I hate to admit it, but part of what makes it so great is I saved most of the money to have it done on my own and I have never saved for anything in my life. Zach was right...it does make it that much sweeter when you finally get whatcha want.

Good news!

I talked to Griffins nurse this morning and she said he had a great night. He has had all bottles since 4 pm yesterday so I am HOPING that he has "turned a corner" in the feeding area. She also said we could bring his carseat up there and his picture outfit which means the end is in sight! PRAISE THE LORD!
He will probably have to prove his eating skills for a day or two and then pass his "carseat test" (sitting in the carseat for an hour on monitors with no breathing troubles) and then he can come home to us.
Just thought I would pass along the great news! We are headed off to feed him and I will take new pictures. I'll try to post those along with Aubree's pictures from playing in the snow this morning.
