nine months

I can't even put into words how much we love this little bear.

His hair is getting longer, and is surprisingly blonde.

He's 22lbs and in the 80% for weight and height.
He had his first (pitiful) trip to the ER for Croup, last week.
Graham can clap and wave bye-bye.
I miss him sleeping in our room.
He still has no teeth.

Right now he's in a "clingy" phase.
He eats puffs and Cheerios (and water ice and ice cream)
He loves to dance.
When he's crying in the car, we all sing to him and play peek-a-boo (well, not me when I'm driving...but the boys do!)


Graham is attempting his first wobbly steps.
He has a bruise on his forehead to show for all his efforts.
He gravitates to outlets and staircases.
He leaps out of my arms to go to Daddy.
Of course, we're all convinced we're his favorite, and it's unanimous that he's ours!

Don't you love having older kids in the car that can help entertain? Driving is so much easier for me than it was with just one!

Your baby is just beautiful. I can't believe he weighs as much as Ella! What a strong, healthy boy.

I hope he gets to feeling better soon.

I know I say this every time but I LOVE hime (times a million). He is SO SO SO cute. And I totally think he looks like your mom in that top picture. What a little love and I can't believe he is already attempting to walk. What a big boy! Where in the world does the time go!?

9 months.... wow,how time flies. Graham will be walking long before he has his first tooth. You and your brother didn't have teeth until you were one. Graham is also going to take after you in the walking age.... you were 9 1/2 months old when you took off.
What great big brothers to sing to him in the car. Graham is a lucky fellow to have Harrison and Sawyer looking out for him.
Before you know it we will be celebrating his first birthday!

He really is such an angelic looking, pretty, pretty boy. I will take ten of him please.

And walking? Oh my gosh. I can't even imagine! I thought that Graham was your tiny baby? 22 pounds? He's big!

It's interesting to me how your boys all have their own look. They definitely look like brothers, but look at that rainbow of hair colors! They are each SO.CUTE., and so unique.

Graham's blue eyes are so amazing. He really does look like a Teddy Bear, and I am dying to give him a squeeze. sigh.
