Daddy and the zoo

When I was traveling, Graham got a special treat with daddy; they went to the zoo! They had a fun time as you can see. And yes, Graham was talking on the phone in one of the photos with him and Brett. They both had a good time, and Graham got a nap on the way back.

Playing in the bed

Graham loves playing in our bed. He gets under all the pillows and attacks you. Lately, I put the sheet over him. He thinks that is really cool.

Mater lap top

Graham got a mater lap top from Gigi and Grandpa and he loves it. We take it almost everywhere. It talks to him and he likes pushing the buttons for his letters and numbers. Thanks for the super cool present G&G!!

Professional skyper

We have been skyping with family since before graham was born. He knows the computer we use and who we usually call, so he gets excited. He took it to the next level with both Nana and Gigi yesterday. So cute, he talked to them like they were here, which meant a lot to all of us. Here is telling a story only like Graham can.

Waste basket/drum

Graham loves this waste basket. He uses it as a drum and puts his legs inside. Total boy.

A big girl trip

I was able to take my first trip alone since having Graham to visit my sister. We had a fabulous time, and the boys had grandpa and Gigi come play with them.

green light

So, after 6 months of monthly blood draws and trying NOT to get pregnant, I am happy to say we are now free to procreate as we please! My hormone levels stayed at zero for the past 6 months so now we can try to make another baby. Woot Woot!
When we first got the news about our partial molar pregnancy and I was told I would have to wait 6 months to try to get pregnant, I felt that August would never come. But of course, it did and I am good to go. So we are free to make a baby if we want, which we do. I am now considered high risk, which brings with it more blood draws for closer monitoring and more ultrasounds, which I know will help us feel safer while we grow another person. I don't know all the specifics, but I am sure I will once I let them know I am pregnant. And you will get to hear about it too!
Thank you all for helping me get through the past 6+ months. I have been super sad having to wait when all I wanted to do was get pregnant. Brett has been so strong for me and I am very blessed to have him with me to go through all this. It was a time I don't want to ever have to repeat, and I hope when I look back, I became a better person through it.
Keep your fingers crossed for us, we will get back when we know we made a baby!

Allergic to....

EGGS!!!!
We thought Graham might be allergic to milk, but it turns out he is allergic to eggs. Threw us for a total loop. We are working on dealing with the allergy and getting eggs out of his diet. His rash on his face is also related to the eggs as you can see from the photo. Sorry they are tough to look at, it was tough to get through. His face is looking much better and we are getting through it and getting great at reading labels.

Many faces of Graham

While waiting at the allergist office, we made a ton of faces. It was so fun!!

Ready to go

If you get ready to leave the house, graham grabs his bags to leave. One in his arm like me, the other he pulls behind. He loves these two bags!!

Mess

When I work from home this is the mess that happens right behind my chair.
