A True Foodie

A true foodie, just like his mother, Griffin enjoys tasting things for the first time. Generally, there's quite a mess involved, but it at least makes for entertaining meal times.

Griffin's impersonation of "Anchorman" Ron Burgundy: "Milk was a bad choice!" Or, in this case, yogurt smoothies were a bad choice. Thank goodness for bibs and bathtubs.

This smile really lets you know that Griffin enjoyed his first taste of Nutella. He tried to pick up the melted goo with his hands and laughed when it oozed on the floor.

When dining with Griffin, make sure you keep the conversation moving, or he'll let you know he's bored. Here, he simply couldn't wait a moment longer to nap, even though his Wharf burger was on it's way.

Cuties

Peek-a-boo!

Is it just me, or is this kid up to no good? "Shh don't tell Mommy I'm sneaking to the driveway."

"I'm cute and I know it. I use this knowledge to my advantage often."

New Life Jackets

One Okoboji rule is all kiddos must wear a life jacket on the dock and boat. Jack's fully embraced this, but Griffin was not fond of his jacket, so we boated over for a new "cool" one that didn't tarnish his reputation. He didn't like it at first, but when he realized not wearing it meant staying off the boat, he quickly changed his tune. It always helps if big brother Jack does something first, since Griff copies everything he does.

Jack took the wheel for a minute. (Perhaps we were parked and not actually moving.)

Griffin loved his first boat ride of 2010. He liked to watch from the back.
