Cinnamon Cheerios

Graham loves to eat Cinnamon Cheerios anytime. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Afternoon snack (shown here). Pants optional.

HcG level update

I have been getting blood drawn every Wednesday morning for a month now. Total barf. I hate it and needles, not to mention I get all anxious until I get the phone call from the doctor telling me the new level, so overall, it is just not fun. But what is great, are my levels. I have been negative for HcG for 2 weeks now!! This is great. I have to have 1 more week of negative HcG levels and then I go monthly for 6 months. I am really close now to only having to go monthly, which will be awesome. I have had a bruise now on each arm from the draws, not to mention I am getting up early to get it done. Almost there...

super cute

I don't even know where to start for this picture. I remember he didn't want me to put his clothes back on after a diaper change...and then we hung out like this until Brett came home. He has been loving rolling and sitting on the Colts popcorn tin, and I think he was showing me that. This photo makes me super happy!

pajama day

Sometimes Graham and I spend all day in our jammies. I think we both like it and we make all the people who see us jealous because they wish they were in their jammies too.

How much fun is this picture? I love the running and the look on his face. Pure joy!

Checking out the cars going by.

Fun face!

taco night

Before taco night on Monday night, Graham and I hung out with his new counting book while Brett finished dinner. He loves sitting in the chairs all by himself.

This is a great book we got him for Valentine's Day. He loves it. Counting with Elmo and friends!

He got into the cheese and chips for dinner. We love tacos! And Valentine's Day!

family window seat

Graham LOVES to sit on the radiator and watch cars go by. It is a big deal in the morning and afternoon when all the school buses drive by. A HUGE deal. He loves to drive his cars on the windowsill and he loves to have company. I love that it keep my toukas warm when I sit on there with him :D. We got a family photo sitting on the window seat radiator today. Not too bad. Although you can tell I don't feel well. Graham is feeling much better but gave me what he had earlier this week.

Our little boy playing on the radiator. Love that kid!

new car

We went this morning to pick up Brett's new car! Graham brought his own cars to show them while we were there. A big and small version in case they needed examples.

He sat very nice in the chair and ate goldfish while we signed all the paperwork. He was so good the whole time. They told him was an awesome kid, and of course, we agreed!

close up while finishing the paperwork.

Going over car details with our sales guy Andrew. How cute is Graham? It looks like he is really paying attention.

They had lots of floor space to play with cars. And a big room for his voice to carry.

In the backseat of the new car. Graham was listening while Andrew showed Brett some new things.

Mommy and Graham in the backseat.

Our last picture with the old car. We will miss you Ringo!

Our first photo with the new car, name undecided as of now. Woot woot for the new car.

crib time

With our new camera, I got some photos of Graham in his crib this week. Here, he is showing me his milk is leaking and it was leaking on his foot. You can see he has a very busy crib; lots of friends, cars, and books to keep this little one occupied.

I then went to the floor of his room. He had pulled his socks off to sleep and tore pages out of a book, and made a nice little pile outside the crib.

He found his feet.

Working on his jumps. He loves to jump in his crib.

Trying to climb out of his crib. He makes a move to climb out like this and climb in, but never really tries. It is cute to see though. He did get his legs past the knee stuck outside the crib the other morning. It took all Brett and I had to get him out without breaking the crib apart. We got him out with a few bruised knees and know we are thinking maybe a bed is in order.

super cheesy while waiting to get out of his crib. Look at that pose!

Great smile. I asked him to smile at me and I got this. So cute. And then he wanted out so the camera was done for the day. Love our new camera, thank you Gigi and Grandpa!

cars on the windowsill

Windows are the best place for a little boy to play with this cars. He loves them, and it is really neat to find cars on the sills when he is sleeping. A little boy lives here.

numbers

Graham does know some of his numbers, thanks to the book in the last post (sadly it is no longer a book, but a front and back cover and a pile of pages ripped out). He knows and can recognize 1,2,4,7,9 on his own. He says 7 like 'Sarah' or 'shower' and 9 is close to 'Nana', so he has had some help. He can recognize a 7 in the checkout line at the store. He says 7 like 'Sarah' sometimes, which I found to be ironic since he doesn't say momma regularly, but he can say 'Sarah' just fine. Sorry, I digress. We count all the steps on our way to the gym (believe me, I know, I do all the counting, he just laughs up and down the 2 sets of 16 and the 1 set of 6). I think he likes numbers like Brett does. I hope he has a calculator brain like Brett; it will really come in handy when he is trying to impress a lady :D

Sorry, the whole point of this post was to say that since Graham ripped out the pages of the counting book, Brett and I joked that he knows the numbers he does because he ripped out all the other ones. So he left the 1,2,4,7,9 pages and ripped out 3,5,6,8,10 pages. Get it? It seemed so much funner to me before I typed it.

On another side note with numbers, Graham just saw a whistle on TV. He saw it and said 9, which when you really look at a whistle, it looks like a 9! Then he said 4 and 7 and then was done. Good job Graham-a-lama!

the end of a book

This has been one of Graham's most favorite books It got him to learn his numbers...and to rip out the pages. He has slowly been taking them out one by one, but today, he took them all out. He was not feeling well and wanted to be in his crib with the book, so I didn't think anything of it. Until I heard the tearing of pages. He was originally tearing them out and throwing them over the crib near the wall (I don't even want to know how much paper is back there) so I started taping him. Apparently, he changed his mind once the camera was on, and started throwing them outside the crib toward me with a little flourish. He is too much. Sadly, the Farm Counting book is now just the front and back cover. Thanks Julia and Harvey for giving us the book...he loved it and it had a good run. It made it through 3 boys and I bet in book lifetimes, that is pretty good.
