March 20,
2007 - Griffin
puts on his
own shoes (on
opposite feet).
One of Griff's favorite activities is
driving the car into the garage.

He gets to honk the horn. (We
love our neighbors!)
Griffin turned TWO on Sunday, March 25. Please observe a moment of
loudness in honor of this occasion.

First week of May - Griffin says his name! "Gwuffun"

Mid-April - Griff was in the bath, playing with trucks on a ramp we'd built from
the bathtub edge. He looked up and said, "Happy." First time he's expressed
happiness in words.

Loves to clink "cheers" with drinks

G's current lexicon:
Kiku - Thank you
Peas - please
Up-ease (help, please)
Dawt (dirt - this gets a lot of play)
Mok (milk)
Garage
Names all the colors (e.g., lello for yellow)
Shouts GO-O-O-O-O! at green lights
Pok (park - says this frequently in the car)
Identifies animals by sounds they make (oinking, hooting, trumpeting, etc)
Greets everybody at the store, etc. with a wave and emphatic "Fie!"
Says bye-bye to things he's done with

Current favorites
Tools! Rubber mallet, screwdrivers of every size, rakes and everything to do with gardening. Adores lawn mowers and
leaf-blowers. Has his own (a garden-hose watering wand) and loves to run around making leaf-blower sounds.

Loves fruit of every kind, and books, especially those concerning trucks.

That's our Griffin... he's our helper...
with the confidence of kings.
G can put pants on,
although  these are not
his. I picked him up
from school and he had
put someone else's
pants on, backwards.
He can do it! Yay!
May 3 - Haircut! Before and
after. Lots of blueberries.
Still singing and dancing and leafblowing.
