I am late on adding Griffin's 6 month stats but as usual it is hard for me to get much done when I have a baby to hold way more than I should. Especially as heavy as he is-coming in at a solid 18.5 lbs and 26 3/4 in.; according to the dr. As of 7 months and our at home scale we have him at 19.5 lbs. and over 27" but the length is pretty rough since Griffin thought I was being mean by trying to make him lie still for measurements.
This picture was taken on Oct.10, 2010 in the park behind our house. He has been busy sitting up since he was 5 months old, trying to pull up and in general scooting around in a circle when on his tummy or back. He doesn't really want to roll over but does seem interested in crawling from a sitting position so we have to watch that he doesn't bang his head on the floor when he launches himself forward. When he is on his tummy he goes backwards and screams about that too, which really makes me laugh and I hope it doesn't hurt his feelings.Halloween was short but sweet due to Griffin and I having a bit of a cold though he recovered much quicker than I - thankfully so! His costume was a dragon and did get cool enough for him to wear it even if we have been blessed with a warm October. This is
Griffin's first friend, Eva, who is exactly a month older than him. We try to have weekly play dates more for her mom and I than for the kids. Although the last couple have been more fun as Griffin and Eva attempt to talk and touch each other.Happy belated anniversary to my parents, my brother and sister in law, and happy belated birthdays to my college roomie, Christina, and the newest 40 year old on the block, Brennon! :)
Among other reasons that blog updates take so long, it is the constant question about our living situation. Most of you know that the move to KY was possibly temporary and ELAN allowed us to stay here longer when I was pregnant with Griffin. After Griffin was born and changes occurred within ELAN, it was time to move back into the territory and we had many debates about whether that would be back to San Diego or Denver. After really deciding that San Diego was where we wanted to be, G was offered a position in a different company and he has decided to take that job which now means we are headed a different direction, towards the East Coast and will make our new home in Charlotte, NC. This move will still happen quickly as G begins his new job after Thanksgiving and hopefully Griffin and I will join him shortly after Christmas. Our house has been on the market for just over a week with several showings just today but we already have a deal on the table so keep all fingers crossed that inspections go well. It would be nice to have this settled before the holidays because I can't keep a house clean with Hana, Griffin and the holidays coming up.
I would expect the next update to be around the holidays once we know where in Charlotte we are moving and lots of pictures with Griffin's 1st Thanksgiving and Christmas.
