It doesn’t seem possible, but today Griff is one short month away from being A YEAR OLD.

He’s walking better and better in his new shoes, and is learning about this obstacle course called “outside”, which is filled with things like “rocks” and “hills” and “holes in the ground”.

Oh, and “sticks”. He’s very, very into sticks.

Sticks are good for digging.

Or just gazing upon in wonder.

If one stick is good, two sticks are even better! The best stick is at least two times as tall as you are.

If anyone’s going to lose an eye here, it’s going to be Mommy.
