Ob La Di Ob La Da... Life Goes On

Here we are, it is already June 22 and it has officially been 6 weeks since Michaela was born. Matt and I are having a blast having her in our lives. It seems like she has always been here. I can't believe how she is growing and changing daily. She is already weighing in at around 10 pounds and is a smart 22 1/4 inches long. Every day brings a new little development that makes us so happy to have her here with us. She is smiling and starting to "talk" and coo and giggle just a little. She is such a good baby. She gets the hiccups all of the time and she just sits there until they go away and doesn't complain like a lot of babies do. Her ADORABLE wispy blonde hair is getting longer and she has started playing with it in her fingers when she is nursing. So cute. She sleeps for 3-5 hours at a time at night and goes right back to sleep when she is done nursing and has a fresh diaper. I am absolutely infatuated with her. She is content during the day to sit propped up on her pillow or in her bouncer or on my lap and just kick kick her little chubby legs and talk and grin. She loves it when Matt or I give her kisses and her neck muscles are so strong already, she sits with her head back and looks at us when we hold her and smiles when we give her kisses and nuzzle in her neck. I've always loved babies but this is really special.



Life is crazy for us and the days are going by quickly even though we seldom get out the door. Well, Matt does. He is working so hard for his band and songwriting so he is in and out a lot but Stef and Miki just hang out at home and run errands occasionally. That is a good thing for sure considering it's like 80% humidity and around 100 degrees outside right now. Gross, I know. I guess this summer is not typical for Nashville but it's our first one here so we have no frame of reference. All I know is that it's hot and humid and not fun to be outside even though it looks like it would be when you look out the window. Our main swimming pool in our apartment complex was damaged in the flood and just opened again last week. Once I feel more comfortable in a bathing suit I might go down and take a dip... so I may not get there this summer. He he:)



We are looking forward to some more visits from family in July and August. My youngest sister Kelli is considering coming out here for a week in mid July and I fully support that idea. Matt's sister Mariah and his Grandma Shirley are coming out the end of July for 2 weeks. Grandma Shirley is itching to get her fingers on the baby, and who can blame her? She is the cutest baby in the world. That's not a biased statement it's just the plain truth. I am hoping beyond hope that I will be coming home to CO for a visit sometime in the middle of August until at least the first week in September. I want to make the rounds with Michaela and spend Labor Day Weekend with my family at Powderhorn ski resort on the Grand Mesa like we do every year. We are praying that this works out.


Well, we hope that all our friends and family are well and happy. We love you and pray for you all daily. Thank you again for your prayers and well wishes as we keep on truckin through this thing called "life."

Signing off for now, the Griffiths
