In the high chair

Took it to dinner with him too...Brett got him to take a bath without it. Thank goodness, I can't wait to see how he is in the morning with his new ball!

A new ball to love

Brett went to target with Graham and couldn't leave without this new blue soft spikey ball.

Ball in the car

Had to hold it the whole way home. Wish I had been there...love the facial expressions too.

Before bedtime

He found it and got to play with it before bedtime. He didn't get it to the crib, but Brett thought he might!

In the bath

Notice no new ball, but a very clean and cute Graham!

Union game

Brett and Graham went to the Union soccer game last week. They had on their matching jersey, thanks G&G Ess, and looked so great. And they won the game, woo hoo.

So tall

Doesn't he look super tall here?

16 month science lover

The gorgeous Graham at 16 months old! He loves to flip through books, or "read" them as we like to say. He wore his microscope shirt today, thanks Kristen "Kimmy" for fostering his love of science! Yeah science!

Longing to be in the nook, whether it be to play with the plants or eat dinner, we don't know.

Using his Jedi mind tricks to bring his snack of goldfish closer to him. It worked...he got mommy to get him more out of the bowl!

After his bath, he is "brushing" his teeth. He is still working on getting it right. And, toothbrushes are more fun to....

bang on the bathroom mirror with. Totally more fun this way.

He totally looks like he took the camera and took a photo of himself doesn't it? Fabulous! (Brett really took this picture)

Super mad about being taken out of the bath and super tired. But we found Elmo, so that it did provide some relief.

He curled up while we were getting him ready for bed. He sang some songs once he was in his crib, and threw most of his friends out. Sully the dinosaur and the green dragon/dinosaur stayed behind.

Other things he is doing (or still doing):

screams really loud...alot

is learning to wave and say HI! (followed by screaming)

RUNNING

walking backwards

playing in laundry baskets

best friends: Elmo, Cookie Monster

Sleeping BFF: Buddy

loves playing with daddy

reads his books

getting better with eating with spoon and fork

TEETHING

singing with mommy

learning to point to things

better at being at the gym day care while mommy works on her fitness

loves science

Night time and the balls

Even getting ready.for bed, I could not get those balls out of his hands. He ended up with the green one in the crib. 

The balls from Target

He has a death grip on the balls. It was neat trying to carry him around with him holding onto the balls.

Snacking

Eating a quick snack during the wedding. Thank goodness we like the same things, we all get to share!

In the hotel

Us in the hotel for the wedding, I am back tracking here. Trying to sleep. Mommy and daddy look ready, Graham had other ideas.

In the basket

Hanging out in a laundry basket. No toys needed, but he will remove all clothes folded or not to play in a basket.

Morning basket

Hanging out with his pals while Brett gets ready. Good morning!

A few from the 4th

A few more from the parade. He was hot but gorgeous.

milk painting

Graham found out how to get the milk out of his bottle and then use it to play in on our table. He gets so excited when he does it and it makes me have to clean the table. I think we both win here.

saying Hi, Graham style

This is how Graham says Hi. Yes, it is high pitched and completely adorable. Just don't be the one holding him when he wants to say hello to someone. Your ears will ring.

sleep eating

This video is a week or two old, but too funny not to share. Apparently I cut lunch too close to nap time, and Graham nodded off while he was eating, not once, but twice! When he falls asleep and realizes it, he wakes up and smiles, like "Did you see that?" He is too cute. It is a bit long, but a fun video!

fork!

Graham is sort of eating with a fork. We help put food on a fork or spoon and he takes it from us and eats it off the fork. He does pretty well with it. He also will take the food off the fork and eat it that way too, which ever way suits him best. He is eating chicken nuggets in the video above. Brett said last night he had peas on a spoon and Graham was eating a couple of bites really well and then the next spoonful, he threw the peas over his head! He is so finicky with the peas!

Nap time

Sleeping on all his friends with a foot out of his crib. He is sleeping now and I am going to nap too! All caught up with posts, well from this phone anyway! Videos coming soon!

Balls

We got him a red and green ball at Target to keep him occupied. He won't put them down! I could not get him to let the green one go, so he took it to bed with him. Future soccer player perhaps?

Faving forward friends

Now facing forward, graham and his friends get a whole different experience. I don't hear them complaining. He loves his cookie monster and Elmo talking buddies.

Monday morning

After our great weekend, two weekends ago, everybody went back to Indiana, or to Denver for work. So graham and I went to breakfast at the diner. Good food and someone banged their spoon on the table the whole time. And sat side saddle. Yeah!
