Brett got a Philadelphia Flyer's flag when they won the game that got them to the Stanley Cup (sadly, they did not win that cup last night). Brett placed the orange flag on our fireplace while the games have been on. Graham LOVES that flag. Every time I walk by it with him, he squeals and perks up. Right now, he is sitting in his chair, cooing at it. He must love the color orange, just like his Grandpa Neal! I think we may move it to his room!
PS: I know i spelled the word keys wrong on an earlier post. I thought it was too funny to change it! And no one is checking my spelling, you are all watching the kiddo!

wednesday playdate & rain
We had our weekly play date with our friends Trey, Sage and Bron. We laid the babies down on a blanket and they had "conversations!" It was so sweet. Graham even got a handful of Sage's gorgeous hair. She didn't seem to mind...but I felt horrible. They talked for a while... if only we knew what they were saying!
Other story: Graham and I went shopping for hydration this morning. It was raining when we got to the store, so you know when I had to leave it would be pouring rain. It was. Graham started to meltdown at the checkout, no store worker would help me lift my stuff to the cart, and then I got soaked getting us all to the car! No wonder we were the only mom-baby at the store! The other mother's know how wet you get when you have to tote a baby and groceries from the store to your car, and then everything into the house! Isn't it ironic that we were shopping for hydration and it was pouring rain outside! too much!

graham and his keyes
You can see how excited he is with the keys. His legs are kicking, his eyes are big and the keys are clanging! Yeah for Graham!
Graham Highlights
Here are some things going on with Graham:
*Graham has found his thumb. He uses it to soothe himself, usually to sleep, but other times as well.
*Graham is grabbing everything. He can hold on to the neck of your shirt, and most recently, he can hold on to a set of plastic keys (thanks Aunt Cindy & Aunt Anne). He holds onto them and if he drops them, he can find them again and pick them right back up.
*Graham is learning to roll. Not completely over, but he is definitely learning.
*You saw in the last post that he is getting better with his neck control. He is not a fan of tummy time, but when you hold him, he looks over your shoulder at anything and everything. Brett is really great at practicing with him, and he loves it!
*Graham is finding his voice. We have conversations with him and loves singing. Kristen found out he loves songs from the Sound of Music, think Doe a deer, a female deer...
* When Graham gets really excited he kicks his legs. His eyes get big and he makes a noise and the legs start riding their imaginary bicycle. It is really fun.
*His schedule is eat, be active for 45-60 minutes then sleep for 45-60 minutes. This continues all day and we end with our big sleep between 8-9. He is a cat napper, no big sleep during the day, but I will take it to have the big sleep at night.
*This morning, Graham found his feet! Well, one foot. He has been looking at them for a while now, but this morning after he ate, he kept looking at this foot and he actually grabbed it! Brett and I were super pumped. You would have thought the kid had found a cure for cancer.

sitting up with some help
Step 1: Prepare for sitting up. Here Brett is coaching Graham on what will be happening.
Step 2: On our way up! Look at that neck control.
Step 3: Sitting up! Look how cute his feet are!
Now that he is sitting up, he likes to look around and work on more neck control!
Good job Brett and Grammers!
family photo time
We used our house guest Kristen to take some photos of Brett, Graham and myself. We have had a super fun time with Kimmy...we have eaten more cookies than a girl scout can sell in a season. They were delicious! Thanks Kimmy! Don't you love the coordinating gray shirts!
