Griffin is Eight Months Old!

Griffin celebrated turning eight months old today outside in sunny, sixty degree weather :)   He enjoyed putting his bare feet in the grass and smelling some of the new flowers blooming in the yard.  Did I mention it's February?!  So much for the Groundhog's Day prediction...but who's complaining?

Our little man has been pretty busy this past month, with several new things to report :)  He now has not one, but TWO new chompers...and loves scrunching his nose to show them off!

Look at my teeth!

He's also mastered the art of crawling, and is now quite the speed demon!  Long gone are the days when I could sit him in the floor with a few toys and walk away.  Now, the minute that bottom hits the floor, he takes off like a racehorse breaking out of the starting gate (and follows me EVERYWHERE!)  The only thing I've found that can stop him in his tracks is an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  As soon as that music starts playing, he's in it for the long haul!

I found you!

Another word has been added to the list this month, as well.  One Sunday afternoon during lunch, while the adults were in deep conversation, Griffin decided he needed his "Dada's" attention.  I quickly interrupted the convo and we all sat and listened as he belted "Dadadada!"  Needless to say, it made Josh's day :)

Last on the list, but definitely not least...Griffin can wave bye bye!  It's not a consistent thing yet, but usually when someone waves and says bye, he'll throw up his little arm and wave it up and down!

I can definitely say that this month has been one for the record books.  He's growing and changing a little bit every day.  He did have his very first sick spell a few weeks ago, and was down for the count from a nasty stomach bug.  Luckily, after a week of TLC, he started to perk up and quickly regained his appetite...and then some!  Now we can't keep him full!

We're looking forward to some warmer weather (hopefully in the near future), and have some exciting things planned for this summer.  I hate to wish the time away, though...it's already going by way too fast.

Happy Eight Months, Griffin! :)
