What is Griff up to these days?
Trouble.
Jumping has become his favorite past time. Running and his ability to reach and climb onto furniture has become a bit alarming.. Last weekend, Tom and I found our little monkey sitting casually in his highchair checking out snacks that are typically out of reach... he climbed up unassisted and unsupervised- oops.
His current words are: ball, mama, dada, byebye, more, baby, kitty, dog (doh), duck, rock, man, knee, booboob (that means boobs or pirate's booty), bottle, boo, bus ("buhh"), bubbles, nine, adobo (no clue what the heck that means), ut oh, and mmmm, peepee. My favorite thing I've heard him say so far was directed at our flushing toilet.. "bye bye pee pee".
He is off the bottle (got cut off when we went to Cape May 3 weeks ago), just moved up into the toddler 1 class at school, still uses a pacifier at naptime/nighttime, loves his lovies, likes puzzles (I think he just likes clapping proudly and cheering each time he gets a piece in). Griff can climb/walk down a few stairs holding the rail, he uses utensils, enjoys throwing rocks, and dumping things out of containers and putting them back in (or not putting them back in). In particular he loves dumping Greta's huge bucket of sidewalk chalk, and my unused box of tampons all over the bathroom floor. Griff plays the recorder while marching around the living room (he can blow into it to create sound whereas he used to just walk around making humming noises with it in his mouth). He blows his nose, he is starting to color, he makes siren sounds when he sees large trucks/emergency vehicles, makes an airplane noise and says "dada" when we see one in the sky, says "choochoo" when he sees or plays with trains, and he can sort of throw a ball and knows how to hold his arms out to catch (but can't catch yet). Griff tells us when he wants to watch Curious George, by sitting on the couch, holding the remote up and saying "ahh ahh" or "mann". He loves listening to Kindermusik during car rides and now anticipates motions or parts of the music. His favorite food is avocado and anything with cheese. He ate his first Kraft jet puffed marshmello the other day loved it.. so high in nutritional value.. oh well.
Griffin has quite the sense of humor.. he laughs all the time, and loves sneaking up to me and saying 'boo'. He is wild but cuddly and lovable, and definitely has a strong personality.
I love and treasure every minute with him.
