nature!

Here is Graham at Briar Bush Nature Center just down the road from our house. Kristen, Brett, Graham and myself all visited this little place tucked in Glenside. We walked around the trails and showed Graham what nature looked like. We think he liked it. We pushed him in the stroller, which proved to be a challenge, but we all had a good time.

pee & poop

Graham peed on me, himself and his changing table yesterday. He also had a big poop in the morning so I had to change my shorts AND he got me at our play date in the afternoon. His play date poop went up his back, and through BOTH of my shirts! He also pooped in his Phillies onesie (the play date poop) which totally coincides with their playing lately. This morning, Graham had a poop and I picked him up to change him and squished the poop out of his diaper onto his onesie, him, me and my shirt and his other changing table cover. Needless to say, the boy's poop has been crazy lately and required a special load of laundry to get his changing table cover's cleaned. I told Graham I feel like I am backed up (I have been eating fiber lately, maybe too much) and I think Graham is showing me how it is done. If only it worked like that, if only!

memorial day BBQ

We were invited to a BBQ on memorial day. Graham's first memorial day and first BBQ! He was a trooper on a super sweltering day. He napped for only 20 minute intervals all day (nice, right?!). We put him in the water to cool his feet off and you can see his reaction to that. Not a fan!

Here are Brett and Graham wearing there hats. Well, we had a hat on Graham, can you see it!

Family photo! Again, Graham is eating his hands.

Again, we took photos of the super cute babies! Paige, Sage, and Graham. Paige is 3 days older than Graham, Sage is cool like a cucumber, and Graham found something to eat on his hands,again. They are all so cute!

There were also 8 adults and 3 toddler boys running around. We got to see what we have in store for us when Graham gets older. Trey, Logan and Noah were super fun and hilarious. We had a great day. Graham and I were happy to have Brett for a whole extra day this week. And my BFF Kristen is flying in for a long weekend on Thursday morning! Fun is to be had by all!

outlet malls & a present

On Sunday, we drove to Lancaster, PA to go outlet mall shopping. This was out first "road trip" since Graham and we wanted to see how he would do in the car for a longer ride. He was great! Brett and I usually make out like bandits on these outlet trips, but Graham took the prize on this trip. It is super hard to shop with a baby, a stroller, diaper bag and husband! Not to mention everyone else shopping too. I can see why shopping can become a one person event! By the end of the day, I wanted to run over everyone else's kids that were running around with no supervision! But other than that, we had a really great day!
Only one thing to note, and it is a good story. Brett had taken Graham outside to feed him. Graham was grunting and making what we call a "present" and when I came out to meet them, Brett told me I had a "present" waiting. I told Brett he had some "present" on his pants, only to find a puddle of "present" on the ground! Graham had not pooped all morning, and had gotten it all out on one try. Brett was a good sport; and we got Graham all cleaned up and in a new outfit. We used a wipe to get the "present" off Brett's pants and wouldn't you know it, those wipes really work. When we got home, you could not even see where Graham had pooped on Brett! Besides being a super hot day...it was a great day!

conversations

One morning this weekend, Brett and I were eating cinnamon rolls in the breakfast nook. Graham decided to join us (tough guys don't take naps) and we all starting talking. All three of us. Graham was making all kinds of noises and having "conversations" with both Brett and I. It was such a special moment! Out little family is a noisy one! (imagine that :D)

dinosaur & moo

We bought Graham a super fun green dinosaur-dragon. Brett and I are not sure what it is, but we are calling it a dinosaur. Here, Brett is showing Graham the dinosaur...so he doesn't freak out.

Graham is freaking out; we think he was upset about something else, but nonetheless, he does not look happy to see the dinosaur up close and personal.

Still freaking out...but look how long he looks! And the dinosaur looks so nice. It looks like a dragon in this photo. Don't you think?

This is after the dinosaur was taken away! And this is a new outfit. My mom and I found this and I had never seen an outfit that had cows on it! His onesie says "Moo" and the bib is a cow face. Wait until we bring out the pants! They have a tail on them. (sorry, no photo of the cow pants...too warm for pants!)

Graham looks super long and his hair looks super red! I like the word SUPER!

pinch me

This bib made his outfit. He wore a real pair of pants (we have been sticking to onesies) and a white shirt. The bib was the icing on the cake!
