Dad's Week Off

Dad took part 2 of his paternity leave the week of Thanksgiving so that he could spend some quality time with the family. Below are some pictures from a busy but fun week.

Lunch with Aunt Laura and Uncle Benji in the City at the world famous Swan Oyster Depot.

Bath time!  My favorite activity of the day!  

Dad has started reading to me.  I don't really know what he is saying, but I like looking at all the colors.

Dad carried me around a lot this week in my new Baby Bjorn.  I like it because I can stare at his big nose.

Snuggling with Mom in my new knitted sweater from Grandma Heather.

Mom, Dad and I went for a long walk along Sawyer Camp Trail next to Crystal Springs Lake near our house. 

First Trip to the Beach

Last weekend we took a family outing to Half Moon Bay for Griffin's first official trip to the beach.   We took a nice long walk and everyone enjoyed the beautiful, unusually warm weather.

Our Little Sports Fan

Griffin seems to love hockey and football already. 

Oddly enough, he's rooting for the same teams as Dad!

Nap Time with Daddy

Griffin takes many naps during the day, a perfect time for 

Dad to get some quality snuggling in!

Griffin's First Girlfriend

The other day Kim and her daughter, Ashley, came over to visit. 

Too bad Griffin slept through it! 

Fun with Grandma Judi

Grandma Judi took the past 2 weeks off work and has been coming over to help out and spend time with us. Griffin loved hanging out with Grandma, and Mom loved being able to get some rest!

A comfy place to take a nap!

Just the right size for me!

Griffin's First Two Weeks

Here are some of the special "firsts" Griffin had during his first two weeks at home.

First Doctor's Appointment - the Doctor said Griffin is doing great.

He's already grown half an inch!

Griffin loved his first bath!

Griffin meets Grandma Heather -

Heather came to visit for the week. She wasn't scheduled to come until Christmas, but with Griffin's early arrival, she couldn't wait that long to meet him!
