Growing up Meyer!

Griffin is NINE MONTHS OLD. At his nine month appointment his stats were as follows:   Length: 28.82 in (71%) Weight: 19.01 lbs (26%) Head: 18.11 in (71%)   We STILL have a tall and skinny little man! (Seriously, I can just copy and paste that on each update)  A few things that Griffin is now doing in MONTH NINE: Dah, dah, dah Mah, mah, mah blah, blah, blah Officially a motor mouth (just doesn't make any sense besides the words above) ON.

Food Monster (eats and drinks EVERYTHING) Master camper and sporting event attendee No fear (heights, falling, animals, etc.) Master cuddler (when convenient for him) And the monthly photo shoot:
