Birthday boy

This is how I feel about our baby turning one.

It feels like this was yesterday, and we are so blessed at how things turned out.

What a great year of fun this little guy has brought into our family!  We don't know what we'd do without him!  One year stats- 16 lbs and not even on the charts...he eats a ton, I swear.  The boy loves food.  About 40% for height. I'm not worried, Max did the same thing, they are just busybodies. Graham is such a happy kid. He can stand by himself, but hates it.  He crawls,  and walks with assistance but prefers being held. He claps. waves, point to his nose and belly, shows you his tongue, knows his head, ears, eyes and loves Mickey Mouse.  He also has a few words and talks a lot of gibberish.  We are so blessed to be able to celebrate with family.

Fall family Pictures

We will actually hire someone to take our pictures one of these days. But after three different attempts we managed to get a few shots of everyone that we like. The real question is, would all three boys cooperate and look at the camera?  Then again we wouldn't get some of the awesome candid shots that we do....

I love these blue-eyed handsome boys in my life!

Graham update- he is barely 16 pounds. Just a little guy, but oh so happy.  He loves food and eats constantly but you can't tell unless you are trying to eat and he is nearby.  He says uh-oh, ow, daddy, mama.  He points to his nose, shows you his tongue, claps, and attempts to mimic you when you snap.  He loves touchy-feely books and knows what "turn the page" means. He has also learned to reach up high when you say "so big".  He just started a funny scrunched nose face too.  He is so much fun!

9 month pictures

"Teddy Graham"

Fall 2014

Graham is 9 months old!

 First trip to Gardner Village

 Halloween Jammies

 First real haircut.  I've trimmed it several times but I finally braved the clippers.

He's so skinny his pants are always falling off and left behind as he crawls.

 That's the face of a boy who is happy mom is finally done with school and can give him all of her attention again.

10 Months!!!

Gavin earned his bear, yay Gav!

 Pumpkin carving with the cousins

 End result. 

 Happy Halloween!  From the busy days of hand sewing costumes to the crowds at the school for the parade and helping run the class parties.  It was a busy day.  We had to run to Riverton and see the grandparents before the boys could gotrick-or-treating.  Pretty sure that's why Graham and I had to call it a night early. 

 But he was certainly the cutest trick-or-treater ever!
