This past Friday we all went up to Snowbird for my dad's work party. Usually work and party are oxymorons. But, in this case, there were plenty of thrills to keep me talking about it for days. The best part was the Alpine Slide. The picture above is me riding it with mommy. I also got to ride a ski lift, which was lots of fun. They also had big inflatable slides and other activities. I

Over the weekend mom and dad took us up to Red Butte Garden to get some "official summer photos" (hence the matching shorts). Colin wasn't being a very cooperative model. But I guess he just knows that--unlike me--he doesn't really have a shot to do this stuff professionally. Mom was happy, despite the fact that she learned they replaced the Perennial Garden where she and dad got married with

   Sunday, of course, was Father's Day. For fun we went up to Oakridge and met my buddy Jack's family for brunch. The food was good, but the best part was when Jack's dad broke out the golf clubs. I got some good short-game practice in. Here I am with a tap-in for par. Jack's helping me line up the putt.

Just wanted to wish Reece a happy 6-month birthday. Well, mostly I wanted to make a point. And usually I wouldn't dignify his smack talk with a response. But... Until you can master the left-handed, upside-down spoonful of Spaghettios with one arm behind your back, I wouldn't be spouting off about about who is trying to pattern their eating style after who.

Sorry that it has been so long since any of us have updated the blog. I don't know what excuse Colin has (probably simple buttheadedness) but I've been using my energy trying to learn how to eat solid food. We kicked things off with rice cereal a couple weeks ago. It wasn't bad. Wasn't good. But it wasn't bad. Then mom tried some peas. (Blech!) Then there were carrots. (Meh.) Sweet

The weather outside was finally far from frightful this weekend. So we got to play outside. Everyone took a trip to the park on Saturday. I swung the swings. I slid the slide.   I pedaled my bike. And all Reece

  This photo was taken Easter morning. We're wearing the shirts our Grandma Kathy gave us. Thanks Grandma! You may notice I look a little melancholy in the photo. That's because earlier in the week I went to the doctor for my four month well-baby check up. And, well, here are the results: Reece @ 4 months   Percentile Height 24-1/4" 27%

Over the past couple of weeks I've found more than my fair share of eggs. The weekend before last, my buddy Jack had his annual Easter egg hunt where I scored this sweet dump truck egg. It's always a real hoot watching all the kids race for the 400 plus eggs that Jack's mom and dad "hide." Someday I am going to have my parents take me early so Jack and I can scope out all the eggs before those

This past week I went to get my annual allergy checkup. This time they did the RAST blood test as well as the skin test. The RAST test came back with a 90-level allergy to peanuts. Basically anything above 15 means there's a 95%chance I'd have a reaction when exposed to peanut protiens. So 90 means there's a really, really, really....really, good chance I'd have a reaction to peanuts. The

I don't have any big news to report. Colin and I have been on the antibiotics. He has a sinus infection and I have an ear infection. I'm pretty sure he gave whatever we have to me, so, once again Colin is causing trouble for both of us. In other news, daycare is going well. I pretty much just hangout, eat, then sleep. And go though that cycle over and over until mommy comes and picks me up.

So I've been going to daycare for the past couple of weeks and, while I definitely miss hanging out with my mom, it's been good. The head teacher in the "Rock-A-Bye" class is Joyce. Colin is one of her all time favorite kids (who knows why) so I'm getting some residual extra attention from that. (I guess Colin is good for something.) Though they keep saying I look just like a dark-haired

Over the weekend I started to make the move to sleeping in my "big boy" bed. So far it's been great. I like all the extra pillows and blankets I can have on there. Best of all, when I wake up in the morning I can just climb on down and play with my toys or read a book. The photo above was taken when my mom sneaked in and snapped the first night.  As you can see, getting a restful sleep on the

This past weekend we celebrated my Great Grandma Griffin's 94th birthday.We had all the extended Griffin family there, so I got to run around with my second cousins who I haven't seen in awhile. My Great Grandma Timper was there to celebrate too. Here she is with Grandma Griffin and Reece: Best of all, I got to eat cake and ice cream! Yum! By the way, you're all invited to my 94th

So, I've been admonished for my grumpy attitude in my last post. Especially for saying Colin is stupid. So, I apologize. Colin isn't stupid, just sometimes inconsiderate with his virus spreading. Moving on, my post is about our joint well-baby/toddler visit from a couple weeks back that we forgot to post about. Aside from the RSV stuff, we're both doing very well. Colin hasn't even had any

I've received a lot of calls and e-mails lately asking why I haven't been blogging. Well, I'm sick. So give me a break.  Stupid Colin gave me RSV. Luckily it hasn't meant a trip to the hospital. But the congestion and deep cough have been very annoying. Now, however, I've passed it along to my dad. Heh, heh, sucker. I'll resume my regular posting when I feel like it. So there.

Since it's Valentine's Day weekend, here's my way of showing you that I love you: an actual blog post. Obviously the entire family has been delinquent in updating the blog. We make no excuses, just empty assurances that it won't happen again. Here are a few of the activities of the past weeks: Chuck E. Cheese's

Today was a great birthday. Here's a quick rundown of my day: I went to school today. My friends all made me cards and this cool birthday crown. (We also made binoculars.) Later in the day Mom brought cupcakes to class for a celebration. When I got home I hung out with mom, dad, and Reece for awhile. Then we got take-out from

We've had a few good snowstorms come through the last week or so. And I love it! On Friday I helped my dad clear the walks, with my trusty sand shovel. It's a handy tool that was also quite well suited for getting the snow and ice off dad's car. It's supposed to snow all this week, too. Dad said he might take me sledding if we can find a small hill. Maybe Grandma and Grandpa's front yard?

So I had my two week doctor appointment on Thursday. Everything is going well. Good sounds are emitting from my various organs and such. Here are my stats, for those keeping track at home: Height: 20-1/4 (50th percentile) Weight: 7 lbs. 10.5 oz (25th percentile) Head: 36.25 cm (40th percentile) Now, since Colin supposedly had a tougher first two weeks than I did, there are only weight

So, maybe I don't have the cachet of the Brangelina babies, and I didn't get millions of dollars for the rights to my pictures. In fact, they actually want me to pay them! What?! They posted my "official" baby photos for those who would like to peruse them (or order a coffee mug featuring my likeness). Overall, I think they turned out pretty nice. Though I don't know why my big brother felt
