little hand
Here is the mold we made of Graham's hand. He is 7.5 weeks old! He didn't really like it, but we got the mold made. All is good and we told him we were very thankful that he let us use his hand!

hair
Can you see the red hair? Graham doesn't' have a lot of it in the front, but he has it on top and in the back. If you can see his little fingers, it looks like he is embarrassed to be having this photo taken. The hair he has is super long and fun (like and inch and a half), and sorta creates a mohawk on the top. I think it gives him an edge.
Brett & Graham
How perfect are Graham and Brett? They are amazing, and Brett is so great with Graham. Graham is so lucky to have Brett for a dad! I heart my boys!
1st mother's day
Today was my first mother's day, and I had a great day! I got a really nice hour of sleep this morning followed by a delicious breakfast at our favorite Glenside eatery, The Glenside Diner. Then we went to Barnes & Noble were I had a mini book shopping spree (!) and then to buy a new camera! We ended up getting it cheaper at Sam's Club, and Best Buy didn't have it in stock. We came home and got Graham fed (he went almost 6 hours with no food!) and relaxed the rest of the day. We skyped with both sets of mom's and randomly videotaped Graham "turding". Brett got me a cookie cake (love them!) and we took some photos and opened cards. I got some really nice cards, flowers and text messages all day, so thanks everyone! We had tacos for dinner and we are settling in for a super fun evening with bath times for all (not together) and celebrity apprentice. What more could a mom ask for? Happy Mother's Day! Isn't my cookie cake the best! It tastes like heaven in a circle shape!

what's going on?
I know I have posted a lot of photos lately, without a lot of dialogue. Those of you who know me know I LOVE to talk, so I decided to fill y'all in with what has been going on here.
Last Friday, I drove to Brett's work...ALL BY MYSELF! I know this probably seems like no big deal, but it involved a really winding, scary road and I have not driven in the city of Philadelphia at all. So, I wore my big girls pants, and Graham and I went to visit Brett at work. It was great. Brett's office shares a parking lot with the local NBC station. I parked facing the NBC station so if any celebrities came to the lot, I could be ready. Sure enough, a lady who does the consumer report was walking to her car and I, in true Sarah form, started yelling at her from across the parking lot! I totally embarrassed myself in front of Brett's co-workers, but by golly, I saw a celebrity! Brett sees them everyday, so this was a normal siting for him. Me, this made my whole afternoon. I was telling everyone in Brett's office, I saw a celebrity in the parking lot. I am sure there were amused.
Graham has been sleeping in a five hour stretch at night recently. He didn't do this last night, but he has been doing it. He is also figuring out his nap schedule as well. I get a good 2 hour stretch in the morning, and then little ones throughout the day. At some feedings he wants to sleep right after he eats, and other feedings he wants to hang out.
This past weekend we hung out with our friends the Smith's. Graham did really well, and the kids did really well with him. Ethan, who is 4, adores Graham. He wants to look at him and help in anyway he can, as long as it doesn't involve the poopy diapers. It was great to hang out with friends and feel a little more "normal", or our new version of "normal".
Graham and I went to visit our friend Bronwen, Treyton, and Sage for a great Wednesday afternoon play date. It was a great time; I love hanging out with Bronwen, she helps me get through those tough days. And I get a glimpse of what life has in store for me when Graham gets to be 2 years old. I am going to need a lot of energy. We had a great time.
Thursday morning we went to a support group for breast feeding mothers here in Glenside. I am SO glad I went, it was a great experience and a great way to meet other mom's, all who live in the area. One mom uses our house when she gives directions to other people! They are a great group of ladies, and they have some super cute babies. After this, I took Graham into my work to visit all the girls. He was held and oogled over for an hour and a half. They all loved him and his red hair. That seals the deal. After work, I followed Julia home for a fun afternoon hanging out with her and her kiddos. Ethan held Graham for the first time and did a great job! He is such a good helper.
This morning, Graham and I went to have lunch with Brett at his work. We drove there again (!) and back all by myself. It was a gorgeous day and we ate lunch outside while Graham caught some zzz's. It was really great to see Brett at work. All the ladies oolgled over him again, they think he looks like a mini-Brett. We are ready for a relaxing weekend so we can start it all over again next week!
Graham is now 6 weeks old and weighs 11 lbs! He is doing great and everyday we are starting to see more of his personality coming out. He can always melt your heart with that smile!
Happy Mother's Day!
