Dear Griffin

Wow our baby boy is 18 months old! We fall deeper in love with you by the day. You are a ball of energy and so full of life. You have a great disposition and are such a giggly little guy. I will share a few highlights at this stage. -lots of words: mama, daddy, out, help, baby, no, yes, Sydney, ball, go, water, bubbles, more, cracker, cookie, tractor, truck, car, nose, eye, cup, dog, quack, moo, love you, night night, hello, bye, vacuum, Bud (nickname for daddy)wow, yeah -you have a huge appetite and you eat a huge variety of foods. your record is 4 nutrigrain bars (daddy just kept feeding you) -you are happiest outside and cry when it is time to come in. when we go out you automatically start picking up sticks in the yard and throwing them over the fence (you watch daddy do this all the time) -you love to ride in your wagon and go for walks down to the pond to see the ducks -you love music and dancing! you are always entertaining the ladies at school -you sleep through the night consistently, thanks to tubes -you feed yourself with a spoon and fork but if you get impatient you will use your hand -you like to color with crayons, markers and you do like finger paint -you will point to your nose, tummy, hair and eye on command -you still adore your big sis and you won't play whatever she is playing -you love cars, trucks, trains and balls and you throw everything -you climb everything also! You bring so much joy to our lives and we are so thankful for you! Love momma, daddy and big sis
