EIGHT MONTHS OLD!!!!

Griffin is 8 MONTHS OLD!

(Seriously, we aren't not lying)!

Weight: 18.0 lbs even

(on the bathroom scale with mama).

Holy Smokes...if you thought last month was BIG...

this month was MAMMOTH!!!!

 

  A few things that Griffin is now doing in MONTH EIGHT:

•  Pulled himself to standing
• Slept 10.5 CONSECUTIVE hours
• Took his 1st trip out of the country (Canada, ah)
• 1st time in a high chair
• 1st tooth (and 2nd)
• 1st fishing trip
• 1st hike/waterfall adventure
• 1st BIG BOY bath (in the tub)
• 1st trip in a shopping cart (outside the carseat)
• 1st steps with a "push" toy
• 1st black eye

We warned you it was a BIG month...wonder what is in store for us next?!?

And the monthly photo shoot:

A little harder to "nail" Griffin down this time..

.he is CONSTANTLY moving (and has a black eye to prove it this month).

 

 

Yes, he's a handful!

Yes, we are loving it!

And NO, we can't imagine a second without him!

He is our Squeaky Little Man...and the HAPPIEST baby around!

Fun with friends!

First off, I can't believe how big these kiddos are getting. We were laughing that just a year ago (seems like yesterday), we were all pregnant and life was so different. What did we do with all that time that now is occupied with these little rascals?!?!

Griffin (7.5 months), Olivia (10.5 months) and Owen (10 months)

On. The. Move. 

Busy showing off to each other. 

Play time. 

The infamous couch picture (or attempts). 

Bath time with friends!

Everyone standing up (so scary)!

Everyone in pajamas and ready to go to bed. Meltdown central! Hilarious that each one was crawling to "mommy"!

Good night friends. G and I had a great time (as always)! 

Adventures in Canada-Land!

In June, we headed NORTH to the land of the Canadians and Griffin's 1st trip out of the county

....and here are some pictures from our little adventure.  

(Note: A little haphazard view of the family vacation)

Whistler was a time of many 1st for our little man...

1st tooth

1st hike

1st time out of the county

1st extended family vacation

The Meyer Fam at Nairn Falls

A little shot of the view from along our hike to Nairn Falls...

and the reward at Mile One Eating House in Pembelton after our hike!  Food is always a great reward in my book!

Griffin received a first rate tour of the Greek restaurant we went to on our final night...and even met the owner!  He's a baller, like that!

Family shot at dinner!

Canada wore this man OUT!

 The drinking age is a little lower in Canada compared to the States....but I don't think that Griff is quite legal there yet!

 When the weather agreed with us...we spent many hours on the shore watching Papa fish!  Griff can't want to get a rod of his own and join Papa.

Goofy kiddo showing off his new TOOTH!

Family shot on the dock...look at that view!

Griffin dressed up and ready to party!

More family shots!

While in town one day, Rich and Griffin were able to pose with the Olympic Rings from 2010!

Taking a load off and then showing his mad "walking" skills!

 Hanging with papa...and watching the train go around the ceiling at the restaurant.

 Enjoying a little stroll with Grandpa

More fun outside...holding papa's fishing pole...

and then "chilling" on a dirt road!  I promise we were all right there...but this kiddo loved just playing in the dirt! Must be our kiddo!

Yep, there's papa!

We found the FIRST thing that Griffin is scared of....SWINGS! He hated it!

 More hiking with mama and papa.

Another fishing trip....on a LONG dock!

Hanging with papa!!!

Tons of pictures.  Tons of fun! 

Can you tell that we LOVE our little MAN?!?!

We LOVE vacation!
