No hands

He is walking around with this biscuit thing hanging out of his mouth. Walking, crawling, and kicking while he holds it in his mouth with no hands. He has talent. Now, he is sitting on it. Great. I get to clean that up. Joy.

mall walking

Finally, the weather is warming up and we got my car out of the garage and what do Graham and I do...we go to the mall and walk! Let me explain. On Monday, Graham and I went walking, see snowy hill post, and now, he has a runny noise and sounds congested, so I didn't want to go outside to walk again if it is not great weather. So, we got out and went mall walking. We were there with the early birds and they LOVED Graham. He had a whole table of older gentlemen waving at him every time we did a lap. We did 5 laps...and ended up adding on a 6th lap so we could wave bye-bye to a super cute man. His wife said we had been around 10 times; clearly she can't count, but her husband was so nice and cute so we did another lap just to see him one more time. So, we did get out, yeah, and got some exercise. Graham was great; he made noises and chewed on his teether and jacket and smiled away. So glad it is getting warmer, and I can see my whole back yard almost!

Finally, I got him on tape taking some steps!! Go Graham!

crazy in his high chair

Is this my child? Yes, no question...all this craziness he gets from me no doubt. And a washcloth is his new favorite accessory. He carries it around after he washes his face/hands from eating and carries it out of the bath. Hilarious. I like to call it his rally towel, he swings it around like you would a rally towel. And those legs! I think he is working them out in his high chair. And just today, he has really started to take some steps, and more than 2-3 at a time! I think definitely by 11 months (in a week) he will be moving around a lot more on his feet.

Snowy walk

Finally, we were able to go out for a walk. Graham found the biggest pile of snow and wanted to take his photo in front of it. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was a hill covered in snow. He really enjoyed the trees and made noises all the way. Yeah for warmer weather!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day from little Graham. Yes, he picked out this onesie by himself and yes, I had to help him put it on. He is adorable, full of smiles and energy, and NO NAP! I told Brett today he gave me the best valentine's day present ever...as our little munchkin was crawling across the floor with a loud war cry. Oh, the joy of Graham. Happy Valentine's Day people!

Totally zoning out...someone needs to sleep! And for once, it is not me!

Monster baby!

a puppy visit

We just had a visit from a lady I work with Maria Ryan. I usually say both Maria and Ryan when I talk with her, I don't know why. She doesn't either. Anyway, she is now a member of Specimen Processing and I see her everyday now. She just stopped by for a visit with her puppy (actually a dog) Sheila. Graham was not to sure of them at first, but he wanted down and he got to see Sheila up close and personal. He did really well with her, even petting her. It was cute actually. I am not a big-dog person (I prefer them under my knee or smaller) and Graham was cool, calm and collected during the whole visit. Maybe I should take a cue from him and relax a little around bigger dogs. Anyway, yeah for company! Now, onto lunch!
