Griff 9 months

Griff turned 9 months while visiting Jai Jai and Pops in Colorado and sat in their red chair. My camera battery died so I only got a few pictures. His hair is growing, but stays in a permanent mohawk. He got a tooth this month. He can crawl anywhere and get into anything. He pulls folded laundry off the couch, tosses shoes out of their bin, gets into drawers and cabinets, and chases me through the house. He never sits still. He loves being outside, he charms the old folks at the store (I can't get out without at least three people stopping to talk to him), and he loves animals. He's also started watching older kids and laughing at them. He's so much fun.

From the month

First pair of flip flops

Drawn directly to the dirt and water. So boy

Green smoothie. He liked it

He's obsessed with getting dirty flip flops in his mouth. He sucks on them until he drools dirt. We have to keep them out of reach now. I forgot and left them on the floor this day

First tooth brushing

He took over

Gets into everything and tosses anything reachable somewhere else

Car broke down on I-15 close to a wild fire (in background)

Jaime and Kathy came to get us off the highway. Kathy put the car seat in the van while I got stuff out of our car and got in the front seat. I turned around once we were on the road and noticed Griff was facing forward! He loved it. Kathy did it out of habit since all the other kids face forward now. So funny.
