Happy St. Paddy's Day! whatever that means. If Facebook is a litmus it means to wear green and get drunk. Just another sunny weekend here in Key West raising the bairn. Holden is currently playing in his "apparatus", the mat with arches of hanging toys. This week Mommy brought him to the library where other moms go with their children to do arts and crafts and socialize. He is so talented this boy, he painted a festive picture of a pot of gold in his sleep, literally he was sleeping (mommy assisted). Now, my wife is a child development major so I know to say things like " Oh, you must have worked very hard on this!" or " I can see you used many colors!". The idea being that after years of telling him he is the best painter we have ever seen; his sixth grade art teacher tells us he has 'failed to develop as an artist.'
He did wake up long enough to observe a little girl with no boundaries who was crying and fussing which led to him crying. I guess he has sympathy....
He went the furthest up the Keys he has ever been today, mile marker 19, to eat at a Napolitano place and then went for his first walk facing forward in his BOB Iron-man stroller without car seat insert.
Holden also went for a swim today at Daddy's work. The water was chilly but he took it better than the parents. Mommy bought him a great suit (a little small in waist for a healthy boy) and rash guard top for sun protection. He enjoyed the water and fell asleep on the way home trying to "talk" about it.
Every time I try to take a good picture of Holden smiling or doing something besides his "inquisitive face" I fail. He is totally distracted by the large black object Daddy puts up to his eye whenever he is laughing or making a funny face. Below are the misses....
Thanks to Grandma Charlotte, Daddy used ancestry.com to trace Holden's roots back to their respective "old countries", from what I have gathered he does not have any Irish in him. What he does have is French, Dutch, Persian, Native American, and English. That should clear everything up.

Hmm--you might need to do more homework on that ancestor thing. Griffin is an Irish name and what about all those Cajuns? xo aunt M.
