Griffin Daley

Last weekend, while eating at Mc Donald's .....

Me: If we have a baby, who will take care of the baby.

Griffin: Me.

Me: What will you do?

Griffin: I will give him my baby toys.

Me: What will his name be?

Griffin: Griffin Daley.

Me: If the baby is a girl, what will you name her?

Griffin: Violet. (Violet is his favorite color.  He wants everything in violet, especially in school, where he wants to use violet materials, be it crayons, markers, popsicle sticks, paper, feathers, paint, scissors or paint brush.)

A few days ago on our way to school ....

Me: Who is the the cutest boy in the world?

Griffin: It's my baby brother.  His name is Griffin Daley.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a while ago .....

Me: My baby is a big boy already.

Griffin: I'm not a baby.

Me: I want to call you my baby even if you're big already.

Griffin: You'll have another baby, his name is Griffin Daley.

Griffin as a baby

We went home on August 5 after 3 nights in the hospital. I was so happy to be home at last with our baby Griffin.

The first night with him was the beginning of many sleepless nights. He was a very fussy baby who cried often. He had very short naps during the day and had crying spells both day and night. He usually had to be carried to stop him from crying. I would lay him on my chest to sleep as he would sleep only for a few minutes when put down on the bed.

Despite being fussy, he was a very smiley baby. It was easy to make him laugh, that's why it was so much fun taking photos of him. He was a very talkative baby, babbling a lot. It was a joy to have him in our lives because of the noise and laughter he brought to our home.
