off to the races, I mean a walk

Because I have heard nothing but news of the Kentucky Derby all week, I decided that we all had to wear a hat today. Before we went on our walk, we got a quick photo of all three of us wearing a hat. I know the hats don't come anywhere near Kentucky Derby status, but we did the best we could. Graham is crying in the photo of all three of us. He was asleep before we hit the road for our walk. Brett and Graham had on matching hats.

reading time

We are starting to read to Graham before bed time. For that matter, we are trying out a bed time routine for Graham. So far, we have read the book "I Love You Through and Through" (he ended up with two copies of it, thanks Grammie Mary and Nono) which is a great book, and my personal favorite "Twilight". I think reading him something he will like and then moving on to something I can enjoy is a win-win for all. Brett said he wonders how Graham will enjoy hearing about financial matters when he reads to him from his book, "No One Would Listen". Oh, if only Graham could talk :D

back of the head

Here is a photo of the back of Graham's head. You can see the front of his head in the earlier post, and how he is losing his hair. You can see that he still has a lot of beautiful RED hair in the back, and we are hoping it will stay! Maybe we can comb it over to the front if we need to. Let's hope not.

cute photo

While waiting for a party to start and to calm down Grammers, I fed Graham a bottle in the car. He then spit up right into my cleavage so I passed him over to Brett so he could burp him. This was the view from the backseat. How cute!

1st bath

Graham got his first live action bath tonight. We put him in his tub, added some water and the crying did not start. He did pretty well the whole time. He even splashed water with his feet, on accident mind you, but we still told him he was splashing us. He did not like getting out of the tub. But overall, this was a great first time at a real bath. No photos unfortunately, Brett and I were both involved with keeping him safe and enjoying the time.

newborn hair loss

Graham is losing is hair. Tonight, Brett was working with Graham on his tummy time and when Graham would lift his head up, Brett would kiss his head. Now, Brett has little hairs stuck to his facial hair and keeps finding new hairs in his mouth. This is totally normal, and we are really hoping that if he does lose this hair, that his new hair will be just as red...and just as awesome.

thunderstorm continued

Graham slept through all the booms and lightening. He is a trooper!!!
