Grigg's first hike at Lebanon Hills

Grigg got to go on his first hike ever. At Lebanon hills in Eagan


He didn't make it very far before snuggling right in and taking a nap

some fun shots


The progression of after eating....first we wait for the burps

next we start to roll our eyes because all that eating is hard work

next we move on to the pirate eye

and finally we lose the battle and fall asleep sitting up

He sometimes thinks he is a mountain climber

Griggs Weekend Social Calendar Was Busy

Grigg spent his Saturday evening with Michelle. She was in town on an overnight and invited us over for dinner and nap time. Michelle took Grigg for a few hours so Ronda and I could get a little R & R. Much needed and much appreciated!!



Sunday morning he got a double whammy! Uncle Matt and Aunt Jessie came over so Ronda and I could go to church. We got home and from the looks of it Grigg gave them a pretty rough time.


Not sure if Grigg made it through the opening Scenes of HITCH but he snuggled right in with Uncle Matt for the duration of the movie.




Sunday afternoon we ran up to see Uncle Brandon and Aunt Ang.


Watching his Cousin Jack walk laps around the coffee table wore him out but Uncle Brandon made a great napping spot.


Jack even taught Grigg that the TV remote is multifunctional! It can be used to change the tv stations, and also be utilized as a teething toy.


After all the teaching Jack was as worn out as Grigg was so he hung out with his mom


Then we rounded the weekend out with a quick trip to Grandy Maurers house where he peed all over the bed!!

Little Man Update

Grigg went to the Dr yesterday and is doing great. He is now 22" long (grew an inch) and is 10lbs 5 oz. So he has well surpassed his birth weight.

It is amazing how much he has grown in 3 weeks and how different he looks. We are loving every second of being parents.....even at 3 in the morning when he just won't quit crying..... taking breaks and alone time when we need it is also important. We are very greatful to all the amazing family and friends we have that have offered their help and support with our little man, its awesome to know how loved he is by so many people. Take a look at how much he has changed, the first picture is the day he was born, the second is just the other night
