rolling his truck

Graham just started rolling his cars/truck around. Apparently, when you do that, you also have to roll with his one-legged crawl. Love it!

I couldn't remember if I posted a video of clapping, so I got one this morning. He was turning the drum head and clapping while it was making noise. So great. He also holds it up against his face, which is hysterical. This video makes me laugh, and smile big. And yes, he again, has no pants on. That's how he likes to roll!

Union hat

Graham got a Union hat the other night. We all were able to go to a soccer game together. He actually let Brett put it on him and wore it around the house for 10 minutes while he got a drink in. So cute! The tags were still on because we thought for sure he would not let us put it on him, and then he did!

14 months

14 months old today!! Graham has certainly gained a lot of personality since turning 1. He no longer wants to be held while he drinks his bottle, still working on getting switched over to regular milk, not formula, and likes to walk around holding his bottle. He also has figured out if he turns the bottle upside down, the milk drips out and he can make a bigger mess with that. Nice. We are teaching him that milk goes in his mouth, not on the floor or couch.

Here he is reading a book. He takes some down time several times a day to look at books. He no longer chews on them to destroy them, and is getting really good at turning the pages. Yes, he is looking at a colts football book above. Love it! Go Colts!

I love the timer on the camera; I can get him to look at the camera while I take a photo. He loves the flashing orange light and noise it makes, bonus for us both.

I think he looks so gorgeous in this photo. And he is holding his drum head, which he uses to spin on the hardwood floor and/or look through it. He is so darn cute!

He and I share mac and cheese pretty much everyday, and he loves string cheese. He is also a big fan of multi-gran cheddar pringles, and he will actually bang on the counter if he sees the can, letting you know he wants one. He is getting to the point where he needs two of whatever you give him. He then drops both of them to the floor and then picks which one to eat first. If you ask him if he wants milk, he stops what he is doing and walks to the kitchen. He is running now. Sometimes, I think Brett is coming into the room when it is actually Graham; he is definitely moving fast now. He loves Mickey Mouse and Elmo, and is starting to really enjoy hugging baby cookie monster! He loves his bath and any water running. I have to do dishes when he is not in the room, otherwise he wants me to hold him so he can see the water running and he wants in it. He loves being outside and stands at the door when he sees you putting shoes on. He freaks out like you won't take him with you if you put your shoes on first and then his, and then he is impatient if his are on and yours aren't. He loves pulling over my plants in the nook and he is proud of himself when he finds Brett's grilling tools. He has conversations with you, about anything and everything, and he has an opinion about everything. He is a ton of fun right now. He loves being on our bed and falling forward or backward. He is a little daredevil right now. We tell people when they ask how old he is, that he is 14 months going on 4 years old. He likes the mail and destroying which ever piece he can get his hands on. He loves getting on the couch and sitting with you, and then getting down. He is really growing up, and it feels so fast!
