Happy 8mo!

My Dearest Griffin,



You are 8mo old today! You are growing so fast! Your Aunt Kristi just pointed out that in just 4mo you will be 1year old. I never looked at it that way. I guess I get caught up in every little move you make that time just stands still.

You are truly the best gift anyone could ask for. I never thought that I could love anyone more or even the same as your father but then you came along and you made us love not only you but one another that much more.

Your dad and I say all the time we can't believe that you are a part of both of us. That we actually made you. That with the help of our gracious heavenly father you molded every fingernail, every crease every hair on your head inside my belly! We still get teary eyed thinking about it.



You amaze us every day! You have accomplished so much this month!



*last Wed night you pulled yourself up at Dee and Pops house. I missed this which made me so sad but Dee brought you home and you pulled yourself up! It was as if you were saying "It's okay mom I will stand up for you too"



*Instead of crawling you roll. Sounds funny huh? You roll from side to side to grab what ever you want. It is so cute! You squeal the whole time you are rolling which makes me and your dad laugh so hard.



*You have just learned how to jump in your jumper! We didn't think you would ever learn. We use to stick you in there and you would just play with the toys on the front now you jump yourself to sleep. Sometimes you will jump in your sleep! I have yet to catch it on video but I will have to it is the funnest yet!



*You say DaDa all the time which by the way lights up your daddy's face every time and I do mean every time! Which makes mommy just as happy to see your father so happy.



*You like the water but tend to be a little of a dare devil. You like to put your face in it and try to breath. Which has really scared us several times. We can't figure out why you do this. You love to lay on your back in the water. I try to sit you up and you push till your on your back. Yet another battle you win! I have a felling I will be typing that a lot.



* You love love banana's baby food and fresh. We have these mesh holders just for fresh fruit and veggies. I freeze them for you so they will feel good on those gums. You love love love Banana's Not so much green beans and peas. But you do eat them



* You have started to whine when I pull something out of your hands. Isn't this a little early?

Don't tell your dad but I think you get it honestly from him:)



*You are very very independent you want to feed yourself with the spoon. You grab it out of my hands and put it directly into your mouth. You have been doing this for about a month now. I don't know if you just like to do this because you want to be in control or because when it comes to your food mommy isn't fast enough? Maybe a little of both!



* You now do the Indian call where I will put my hand up to your mouth and pat it and you will go ahhhhhh... Papa chick taught you that!


*Last bot not least you are starting to clap. You take your right hand and tap it with your left hand. Daddy and I call it a golf clap. It's ever so cute!


I do Thank God everyday for you! I pray that your father and I can give you the best life possible! We love you Griffin Happy 8MO!
