8 months old

Today our precious Griffin turned 8 months old and let's just say he's isn't so little anymore. He is as active as ever and is so close to crawling. He scoots across the room and spins in circles on the floor, but no official crawling yet. Everything goes in his mouth, everything! He has two teeth on the bottom and another has just started to come in. He is obsessed with tags. Anything that has a tag gets his attention. No need to buy him toys - just give him a few tags and a water bottle to play with and he's happy!

Griffin likes to be out and about - he's happiest when we are going places and doing anything outside. He babbles, squeals and constantly makes noise. I have a feeling once he starts talking he might not ever stop. Just when I think I can't possibly love him anymore - I wake up the next morning and I do.

Chewing on a lid - Really everything goes into his mouth!

Just found a tag on his new Christmas outfit.

He loves his walker. He is constantly following us around the house.

Sweet Griffin - we love your smile!

Griffin on the go

Griffin is on the move more and more everyday. Here is a video of him learning to scoot across the floor and grab his toys. In no time, I think he'll be crawling.

Visit with GiGi, PopPop and Uncle Jon Jon

Scott and I went to the Panthers game on Sunday. GiGi, PopPop and Uncle Jon Jon babysat Griffin to give us a break. Here are a few pictures from their babysitting adventure.

He likes to try and stand up and walk!

Picking out toys he wants for Christmas!

Visit with Uncle Austin

Griffin went to visit Uncle Austin today. We met for lunch at one of our favorite places, Nantucket Cafe. Uncle Austin played with Griffin and he had a great time. In a few days, Griffin is taking a road trip to visit Uncle Jon Jon. He loves his uncles!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Parkers!

Making Halloween cookies

Griffin and I made cookies for Halloween today. It was definitely messy (but what's not with a little baby). As you can see he had a great time playing with the flour and decorating the cookies with the icing and sprinkles.

7 month stats

Since Griffin had to go to the doctor for his flu shot, I thought I would take advantage of it and find out his new stats. He is weighing in at 19 pounds, 6 ounces which is right in line with the 75%. I think I see a football player in our future.
