3 Month Update

When I started this blog, I was on the verge of leaving the world of academia and enter into the life of a suit. I thought I was clever enough to come up with a few funny ideas every once in a while to post. However, I quickly realized I have nothing to offer except my pictures of my pregnant wife and newborn son. There may be a day when I find something better to post than this…….

Well, on second thought, I’m pretty sure I have absolutely no chance. How do I trump that? Simple answer, I don’t. It’s impossible.

As some people know, we’ve had an interesting last 2 months and have finally made it back to Chicago after I travelled a lot for work and Molly migrated south for a good part of the winter. The bad part is that we forgot our camera. I made up for it in the first couple hours we were back home though. We also finally made it back to the pediatrician for a 3 month checkup. We’ve been anxious to know where he stands on his size, he’s kind of a little guy. The pediatrician told Molly not to worry that he is smack dab in the middle at the 50th percentile. That is until she remembered that he is actually 3 months old and not 2, that dropped him down into the 25th percentile. This news completely dashed any hopes I had of having some of my posterity reach the 6′ plateau. He is pretty strong though, so maybe a cornerback, or a 2nd baseman. Dustin Pedroia isn’t a big dude and he won the AL MVP. He obviously doesn’t let this affect him because he is still the happiest baby I know, he’ll smile at just about anything, even my dad.

Here’s a few more pictures as proof:

Here are a few of the first smiles that were caught on camera. Now, these are not the first ones ever, but we have not been able to get him to do it for the camera. On Sunday we sat looking through the camera at him for a good 15 minutes waiting for him to smile, but he wouldn’t. Once the camera was down, the smiles came back and were gone before we could get the camera up. However, our patience paid off and we were able to get a few. And, we love him!!

One Month Update

One of the first questions people always ask when they hear we’ve had a baby is normally, “does he look more like mom or dad?”. My answer to that question was always I have no idea. He has darker skin and really dark hair, which matches perfectly with my white skin and reddish hair. So, I guess I always assumed he looked more like Molly. That is until we looked at the pictures below. I could not believe how much he looked like me when I was a newborn. So, sorry son, you might end up with fair skin and red hair after all.

Here’s newborn Griff.

Here’s me as a newborn.

Here’s Molly.

What do you think? Who does he look like?
