We fed Walker some rice cereal for the first time the other day. Instead of being introduced to something brand new, we are pretty sure he was just getting reacquainted with a long lost friend. He loves to eat. And we love that he loves it.

Griffin, feeling the heat from his little brother in the weight category, decided the best way to pad his lead was to take down large quantities of watermelon. Water is like 75% of your body weight right?

The Boys had a great time!

Isn’t it funny that these two boys are brothers?

Notice the swimsuits they each are wearing.

That’s totally normal for your 2 month old to be wearing a bigger size than your 21 month old right?

Look out Griff. Walker is going to be able to keep up with you sooner than you think!

I am so glad they have each other!

Griff will take an early nap because when he wakes up he gets to go to Church and Nursery Class! He absolutely loves Nursery and has never looked back.

And Walker loves to smile at new faces, or any faces, or really anything at all.

Griff spotted the little lady quickly.

From Tessa’s arm, she flew right to Griff’s head.

He couldn’t see her on his head…

So he liked her much better on his little footsie.

It takes real women who know the importance of water safety to put up with all the screams, wacks, head butts and I’m sure much more to teach swim lessons day after day for a couple months.

Griff cried. 

But I would’ve been more nervous if he wasn’t at all scared of water!

I know it will get better and I am grateful he has the opportunity to learn from FANTASTIC TEACHERS, who taught me how to swim as well.

For now, we will continue to sing “learning to swim is fun to do, fun to do, to do, to do….”

Big shout out to my personal photographer and support team, Melissa!!

I owe you big time

And…you find games you forgot you had… it’s Christmas all over again!

Griff thinks Elephun is the greatest Sunday afternoon activity.

Molly and Griff at the Reception

Nice view from the reception

When we were first married my brother was in Chicago for business. He wanted to drive to Wrigley Field just to see it and maybe buy something from the stores around it. I don’t think it needs repeating how big of Cubs fans we are. Brad turned to Molly and asked, “do you feel that? It’s just different here, there’s no other stadium like it.” Molly just laughed and told us we were crazy, which probably isn’t far from the truth. Well, a few days after “Cubs Week”, Molly turned to me and said those words…..”I felt it”.

At first I had no idea what she was talking about, but she continued, “At Wrigley, I felt it. I think I felt what Brad was talking about that day awhile back.” I didn’t quite know how to react. Was she serious? Was she just getting sentimental about leaving Chicago in general? Was she just playing with my emotions or even gently mocking me for my love of the Cubs? Either way, I’ll take it. It was an uphill battle, one that I had given up on before it even started. But I choose to believe that once I got her to look past the crowded seats, the loud fans, the lack of a big screen telling fans when to cheer, and the not so great food, she could tell that Wrigley was different. And it is.

Who am I kidding?  It probably all had to do with the little guy in the photo above.
