Us and our bears...by Gage

So when I was about 5 months old, on a whim, my mommy laid me down with a little brown bear. I instantly snuggled up to this bear and Mommy and Daddy named him "B". B is for brown, bear, baby, Brian (who gave him to me in the first place). B has seen me through bad nights of teething, moving from my crib to my big boy bed , and many other sleep issues. I really love him and now I can't sleep without him.



And when Griffin was born, it was only natural that the gift I give him be a teddy bear. I had hoped to find a little brown one, but found a little blue one instead. And that worked out well, since there is no confusion on whose bear is whose!

It took Griffin a little bit longer to get attached to his bear and we couldn't ever figure out a name for his bear. But about a month ago, Griffin named him "Baby" all on his own. So now we call his bear "Baby".

Aren't we just a couple of little darlings?

Gotta love brothers-I know it doesn't look like it here-but I do love my big brother Gage!

Lake fun! by Gage

A few weeks ago, we headed over to the lake with Mimi, Pap, Chase, Court, and Ben. It was a celebration for Chase's birthday. I hadn't been since I was 10 months old. We didn't get to go last year since Griffin was such a little thing. We pretty much spent all day parked on the boat. I loved floating around on the lake. However, I did not like going down the slide. Not at all...Daddy talked me into it.

Here I am with Uncle Ben driving across the water:



I was even able to catch some zzzzz's:



Griffin was too! Can you believe he was so tired he just conked out on the water? Cute little dude!



Mommy just likes these last two pictures, so she made put them in!
