Firsts and Friends

Today was a great day of firsts and friends.  For the first time in 4 months, Shari McWilliams and her son Owen, Anna Paulling and her son Sullivan, and Griffin and I were able to get together when all our sons were AWAKE!  Yay!  It was a total blast.  Of course, at this point, the play date consisted of us trying to keep our kids from injuring one another.  (They don't quite have the "gentle" thing down yet!)  It is fun to compare the first shot of these three together about 4 months ago with the picture of them from today:

It appears that Griffin felt some peer pressure from his buds to catch up to them growth-wise in the past 4 months.  As you can see, he is just as big as his 8 month bffs!  As for the "firsts" portion of this post's title, Griffin may have been feeling that peer pressure while they were over, because he rolled over for the first time this afternoon!  I was changing his diaper (hence his bare bottom), and he started trying to roll over.  So, I grabbed the camera and was actually able to capture this milestone on video!  Shari and Anna, I'm so glad you were both there to share in the excitement!  For some reason, I can't figure out how to upload a video on this tonight...So, look forward to Griffin's first rolling over video soon!
