Griffin's 4 month check up

Griffin had his 4 month checkup on Monday and everything went pretty well. He had a umbilical granuloma which is like an over growth of cells on his bellybutton, so the doctor had to use silver nitrate to remove it. Everything else is great he weighs 15lbs 8oz and is in the 50th percentile for height and weight, not as tall as his big brother was at his age but pretty close.


He is now rolling from his back to his belly and is getting close to rolling from his belly to his back but I usually flip him over after just a few minutes because he freaks out when he is on his belly too long.

Sunday

The weather was amazing on Sunday it was 79 degrees and slightly overcast. It was a great day to play outside so that is what we did.

Also you may be wondering why Alex has his hand in his pocket in some of the pictures, his grandpa gave him a chip from the Bellagio in Vegas and he has been asking for it every morning to put it in his pocket. I may have a professional gambler on my hands.

Griffin is 4 months old

Griffin turned 4 months on Monday and I do have to say that the first 2 month were a little scary because he was so colicky. Since then he has turned into the happiest most easygoing baby, that is of course as long as he has had his naps. He goes in for his 4 month check up on Monday and I am very curious to see how much he weighs because at the moment he is able to wear a lot of his 6-9 months clothes.

Valentines Day

Jim and I don't really celebrate Valentines day but last week Jim's cousin and her husband offered to sit with the babies while we went out. So of course we took them up on the offer and went out for sushi and after we went and had gelato, it was a great time.

Friday the 13th

Some people think that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day but I happen to think it is luck. The main reason is that Alex was born on Friday the 13th in July and we have always called him lucky number 13. Today he is 19 months old and for his lucky day a present arrived for him (like I said it is his lucky day), his own personnel 1950's diner ( now maybe he will cook me breakfast).

Going to start again

I have not updated my blog in ages, I am going to work on updating once a week.

As for what has been going on most of you know that the baby has arrived and he is now 3 months old and doing great. Alex has been doing good with Griffin but he does have a few jealousy issues and sometimes likes to give mom a hit on the head when I am feeding Griffin.

I added a few pictures of Griffin when he was born and his first car ride with his big brother.
