The Weather is Fine...

The weather has been great so Daddy and I have been doing a lot of this.


To see these things.
Mommy even came along a few times.
Which made me feel like this! And this!

5 Month Highlights

Five month... wow time is going by so fast. Here are the highlights...

• Moved into a new house. Loves his new room.
• Met another Graham that lives next door. What are the chances?!
• Weighs 15lb. 8oz.
• Had first ear infection. No.fun.at.all!
• Found his voice. There is no doubt where Graham is. You can hear him from a mile away.
• Loves his feet espcieally taking his socks off.
• Singing, dancing, and rap music are a few of his fave things. Yes people, he loves rap music. Whenever he is fussy in the car I turn up the rap and he quiets down. Too funny!
• Enjoys the exersaucer and bouncer for a few minutes a day but still LOVES to be held.
• Continues to eat oatmeal. He is waiting on mommy to bring out the green veggies.
• Sleep... well he is not really interested in sleep. Mommy is super sleep deprived these days.
• Loves stroller rides in the BOB. Outside is one of his most favorite things.
• Is very silly until the camera comes out then he becomes very serious.
• Daddy taught him how to splash in the tub. He is loving that.

Here are some pics.

More Snow

I will write more soon. We are in the new house but things are still crazy.

4 months

Graham's 4 month stats are:

Weight- 12lb 13oz
Height- 24 1/4 inches

His weight was only in the 12 percentile so we have started oatmeal one time a day. So far he is doing pretty well. We have also bumped up the amount he is eating per bottle. He seems a lot more satisfied. We have to fatten him up:)

Since we upped his food intake he has been sleeping much better. Graham is now sleeping 7-9 hours in row. He gets between 10-11 hours total sleep before getting up for the day. He naps pretty well in the morning and the afternoon nap is still hit or miss.

He is laughing more and more each day. The cooing and talking continues as well. He loves chewing on his Sophie teether and Winkel. The lullabye Seahorse is also a hit around our house at bedtime.

Graham is a snuggler. He would love to be held all day long. I am soaking in as much cuddle time as possible. I know that won't last much longer espeically as he becomes mobile. There is nothing better than baby snuggling!

Here are some 4 months pics.

We are moving into our new house the end of this week. I am hoping Graham makes transitions easily! I will update next week.

It's Positive

Dear Graham,
Those were the words I said to your Daddy one year ago today. In a blink of an eye our lives changed forever. We really had no idea how much they would change until 9 months later. We wouldn't want it any other way.

I had a long letter I wanted to write to you but you kept me up all last night and now all my thoughts are jumbled. I will have to save the letter for another date. All I can say is that the past year has been one great ride. We are so happy that you are in our lives. You are such a blessing.

We love you very much!
Mommy and Daddy

Honest Scrap Award

I was given the Honest Scrap Award from May at Hoping and Wishing. The idea is for me to tell you 10 random, honest things about myself. I had a hard time coming up with 10 but here goes.

1. When I was younger I grew vegetables in my parents garden. Pumpkins were my best crop. I started selling them at my very own road side stand. I made a lot of money for a young kid. I mean like a $100 or more:) I kept all the money in an old cigar box. I still have that cigar box.

2. I have a blankie that my grandmother made me when I was a baby. I still have that blankie and sleep with it every night.

3. When I first met Chris I really didn't like him. Actually I said I wouldn't go out with a group of friends if he was going. Well one night he won me over and the rest is history.

4. I have a tattoo. I got it in college. It started off really small, like one flower. Now it is a flower vine across my back. That was my college rebellion.

5. I love ice cream. It is my favorite food. I could eat it everyday even if it is freezing outside.

6. My elbows are double jointed. It is gross. They can twist and turn ways I never thought possible.

7. I love sports. I have played sports since I was a little girl. My dad started me out in basketball when I was 5. I played baseball with the boys... and was better than most of them;)

8. I HATE laying on the beach and swimming in the ocean. There is nothing worse sand in your bathsuit and feeling itchy from all the saltwater. I am a pool kind of girl.

9. I am OCD. I really like order, organized stuff, and things to be super clean. I have had to learn how to get over these things because I live with a man, 2 dogs, and a baby. My life feels so much more peaceful when there is order.

10. I am a sucker for a bargin. I will shop around and shop around until I find the best price. Sometimes this works in my favor and other times it is just a waste of time and money driving around.
Now I have to pass this award to 5 other people. My awards go to
