Great Griffin!

Here he is, folks:
Griffin James Raul DuBois!
Griffin officially made his debut on December 10, 2008 at 7:50 am. His Cesaerean delivery kept his head nice and round, and he's just perfect in every way. Weighing in at 9 lbs, 8 oz, his stocky build earned him the nickname "Tank" by midday! So cute!
Griffin's first day was sprinkled with visits from grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles and even a cousin! It was a busy day and baby Griffin was tired and slept through much of it. Here he is with Grandpa Scott, such a precious treasure! Grandpa Richard and Auntie Anna take turns holding Griffin too while Daddy Rich watches closely. Little "Tank" Griffin is the first grandchild on the DuBois side of the family, and the third on the Sherer side.
Griffin's a little chilly, so he has to be bundled when being held. He sleeps so peacefully and brings joy to everyone!

Rich picked up a little monkey in the gift shop to keep Griffin company in the isolette. When baby "Tank" startled from the camera flashes, he seemed to be reaching up and punching the monkey. It was cute!

Cousin Aeries stopped in for a visit with her Mommy Liz. Griffin snoozed peacefully in his Auntie Liz' arms while Aeries tried to figure out what all the commotion was about.
Daddy Rich took some time to visit his niece, Aeries, while Aeries' Daddy Erick visited with his new little nephew, Griffin. It's just awe inspiring to watch these young men grow into Daddys. God is full of surprises!

Welcome to the family, little Tank!
