Trig is 8 months

I am now 8 months old! I can "army" crawl and I've just started to pull myself to a standing position. I love food and I'm trying all sorts of new things. Salmon, sweet potatoes, and apple sauce are some of my favorites. I'm still smiling all the time and very seldom fussy. I have 1 tooth that is trying to come through but it hasn't made it yet. I have slept through the night a few times and sometimes I still wake up 1 time but mom thinks that is much better that 3 or more times. I now weigh 14 lbs. 6 oz. and I am 26 in. tall!

Extractions

Griffen had 2 baby teeth pulled to "borrow" space so some adult teeth can come in. Hopefully this will help to straighten things out and then we will consult again about braces in a few months.

Happy Mother's Day!

Memorial Day visit to Tri-Cities

The family headed east for part of the holiday weekend. The kids had the chance to play with their cousins and we had some time to relax. This was a special trip because Grandma is getting ready to retire in just a few weeks so we gave her a retirement present early. She was surprised and so excited!

Grandma was really excited about her laptop!

We even got to spend some time in the pool

Sitting and army crawling and standing OH MY!

In just the past few days Trig has started to army crawl. There was a cup on the floor and he went from the sitting position to his tummy and then started to pull his way to the cup. We were extremely excited!

Seeing Trig being the crawling phase was exciting but we definitely didn't expect to see him begin to pull himself up! I was putting away laundry last night and he pulled himself up using the laundry basket. I was able to catch it again on video!

How old is this kid again? Oh ya......he's 7 1/2 months!!

Griffologic!

Griffen is getting ready for Lacrosse practice and wants to let me know he can't find something.

{Mom} Are you looking for your cup?
{Griff} No I'm wearing it.

I do a cup check......

{Mom} It needs to be lower so it covers your junk!
{Griff} My junk sits up high...it is covered mom!

He was looking for a backpack.
