Swim & Soccer Craziness

by Kristi on September 15, 2012 · 1 comment


Man, it’s taken a long time for GG to figure out swimming. We’ve been getting lessons from Sarah the last 6 weeks and something clicked. So we continued it for another month… I’m so glad we did! He put on googles, he jumped in… and in two week’s he is taking his survival test! We […]

I Haven’t Bought Your Ticket, Buddy

by Kristi on March 14, 2012 · 1 comment


This and other things that I lie about to my three-year old… I’ve talked about how we have massive potty training issues with my kids. They are both on a full tablespoon of Miralax. GG is on two teaspoons of mineral oil every day too. Potty training has never been pretty. Anyway. We are going […]

Whispering In the Dark

by Kristi on February 15, 2012 · 2 comments


We switch off bedtimes. I read a story to GG at night and sing him a song. He’s very demanding at night. After I sing a song (usually the same one EVERY night – Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree), he has to lay on me and we cuddle. My favorite time. Then he has […]

Sick and Nurturing

by Kristi on December 10, 2010


Yes, yes, Happy Birthday to my beautiful amazing 5 year old! I have a longer post that will be going out later… Hopefully. And yes, I’m TOTALLY going to backdate it for yesterday. But my poor baby G is sick again. I just looked at my blog posts last year and I didn’t POST about […]

Our 2nd 911 Call

by Kristi on November 16, 2010 · 1 comment


I think this was our second 911 call. The first being when Sam tried to fly off our bed. Didn’t work, btw. I know I took G to the emergency room last year when we thought he might have swallowed something sharp but I didn’t call 911 for that. We had called the on-call nurse […]

OC Fair 2010

by Kristi on August 15, 2010 · 1 comment


The smile on his face  is the reason why I love my life! He was so happy to be on them and just loved it! Pure joy. I had to take a video because he was so cute. The last few seconds just show his pure excitement about the ride. He was loving life. So […]

I have a 2 year old

by Kristi on April 2, 2010 · 4 comments


Wow.  Griffin (Griffy, GG, sweet baby G) is TWO. Wow.  It was two days ago. I’m a little late.  But I almost can’t believe it. He’s talking so well. “I wear Mama’s SHOES!” He smiles and gives kisses when I ask for them.  He follows Sammie around and around and around and laughs for the […]

Cranky Griffin

by Kristi on November 22, 2009


Griffin is a huge bear when he wakes up. Most usually from his nap and he only is happy after zoning out on some Dora for a bit after.  He cries and whines and takes forever to settle down.  I’ve found that when he is happy? It’s after a three hour nap. Since he usually […]

Griffin – The 18 Month old Comedian

by Kristi on November 12, 2009 · 4 comments


Griffin is developing his personality every day.  I think he’s going to be a comedian, like his Papa. The faces he makes are soooo funny! Especially when it’s dinner time and he wants to get out of eating – since he never eats – and make us laugh instead.  I don’t know where he got […]

My Sweet G

by Kristi on May 17, 2009 · 1 comment


Aww, I put G down and after standing up and rocking and singing to him, I set him down in his crib like usual.  I then grabbed his milk and walked out. Usually he sits back up and watches me walk out.  For the past week I have been giving him milk in a sippy […]

Stepping Up & ToothWatch 2009

by Kristi on April 14, 2009 · 1 comment


Still no teeth yet.  Will Griffin walk first, or will he get a tooth first? I was thinking that today. Then he took some steps this evening… and again, and again, and again! He’s building some confidence in walking and he just giggles at himself when he does it. He went back and forth about […]

** I started this post… oh last week, and got tired. 🙂 But I had to finish it, so here ya go… GG has jumped straight into the phase of ‘yum, that looks like candy!’ and is popping everything in his mouth.  Like CRAZY. EVERYTHING. So the other night, I pop him in his high […]
