January 2005

A blocked sewer line caused many problems in mid-January.  On the upside, Griffin enjoyed "ring-side" seats when the city sent a backhoe to dig a 12 foot deep hole in the front yard.  Sometimes the machinery swung within a couple feet of Griffin's nose, pressed up against the window!  Good show!

After a big snowstorm, Griffin's neighbor Elise Geno graciously offered Griffin the use of her cool sled.  Mommy and Daddy both enjoy pulling him along.  Griffin LOVED flying down the hill at the park.

At Griffin's 15-month checkup, Dr. Kaplan determined that he looked wonderful.  The only issue is that he is underweight when compared to other kids his age.  He is just under 20 lbs, which means he is below the 5th percentile.  However, his height and head circumference are still slightly above average, so Dr. Kaplan is not concerned yet-- she prescribes nothing more drastic than butter and cheese sauce over his veggies.  Now you know why he doesn't have much baby fat in these pictures!
