Graham 2-1/2 Month Flashback

Just to show you how far he's come, here is a video taken when baby G was just 2-1/2 months old! So cute - it's the first time he actually reached out and grabbed a toy. Well, sort-of. He's changed so much!


In this video, Emily gives us a brief overview of where Graham is going to go when he gets older. Apparently dad doesn't listen very well while operating video equipment. He's almost 3 months old in this vid.

Graham 9 Month videos

Graham shows us a little double dribble. Now if only we can show him how to dunk....


Graham decided to take Ava on a date to the Plaza and asked if we could tag along for moral support. And to occasionally change his diaper.
In this video he teaches Ava how to demand quicker service from the waiters. You'll notice Ava tries to get Graham to hold her hand, but he's not sure he's ready to be "tied down" to one woman quite yet, as he called it.


Back in June we took the kiddos to the St. Louis zoo and it was HOT out. Luckily the penguins liked air conditioning so it gave us a moment to chill out. Graham however thought the whole thing was a little fishy.


In this video Graham shows mom how to strut, with a little magical back-wards hovering thrown in to boot.

The Eating Experience

Well we thought we'd post some videos of Graham learning how to eat. We always told ourselves this kid was going to be a champion eater, and he surprised us by not exactly taking to it quite as well as expected. That's ok - we all learn at different paces. The older videos are at the bottom.

The Sippy-Cup Challenge



Graham gets camera shy when he's trying to eat.



Sam is a natural-born rock star eater.



Week 2 of trying to get Graham to eat. Not going the best quite yet.



Russ takes a shot at feeding the little booger some rice cereal. We learned that it's dangerous to set anything too close to this child.



Emily feeds Graham his first bite of real food. If you can call liquid rice cereal "real food".

Graham Vs. Girls

The little G tells us what he thinks about girls. I completely agree with him.

Democrat or Republican?

Baby Sam and Baby Graham express their political views.

Russ Gets A New Car

And someone decides to take it out without permission. How rude!

Wii Like to Jump

Graham tests out his new Jumperoo. Thanks Sean and Sherry!

Graham Doesn't Have Much To Say

But he does enjoy staring at Mr. Green.

Bumbo Rocketship

Graham really likes his bumbo car/rocketship ride. Well who wouldn't?

It's been a long time

I am currently sitting in Graham's room as he lays in his crib napping. Ah, silence and relaxation. I might add that the reason I am sitting in the baby's room is because we are currently getting our house cleaned for 3 hours. It was one of my Christmas presents. Thanks Russ!

I thought I was going to lose my mind for awhile.... he had quit napping after Christmas. But, praise God he is sleeping through the night and has been doing so for quite awhile. I am trying to soak in some good baby time today as I return back to work tomorrow night. People ask if I am ready... in some ways yes, more ways no. I really do enjoy my work but am nervous for daycare and my night schedule. I know everything will work out though. He is going for a half day tomorrow and then a full day of daycare on Wed. Big changes coming our way!

At the end of the week, Graham will be 12 weeks old. So hard to believe! He smiles all the time, coos at us, loves tummy time, recently started holding rattles and stares at his hands. He is such a cutie and we love him so! I am really looking forward to this Spring and Summer when we can get outside and enjoy the nice weather. We've hardly even used his stroller so far with this nasty weather. We did take it down to the plaza one day and it was such a life saver not carrying around a heavy carrier. I've decided next child better be born in the Spring or Summer to make for a more enjoyable maternity leave. Graham and I have spent many days in the house as daddy needed my car since his doesn't get around too good. Also, having the holidays in with my leave made it just FLY by.
We had fun celebrating our first Christmas with Graham. He was pretty indifferent on the whole thing. He was so spoiled and didn't even realize it! I will include a few pictures from the past few months. Thanks for checking in on us!
