Graham is 7 months old!

Graham,

7 months have flown by.  You have changed so much this past month. 

You are such a happy guy and love to be sung  and talked to.  Graham you have become so social wanted to smile and notice everyone and everything.  When Mommy, Daddy or Reece walk into a room you light up, which we love.  You often talk back to us.  We are convinced that sometimes you completely understand what we are telling you, for instance this morning when I told you I was making breakfast, you wanted it THEN!!  You are eating three meals a day of fruits and vegetables and devour every bite.  We also just introduced you to puffs this week, and while you found them odd, you ate them up!  

Graham you also seem much more satisfied now that I am supplementing with formula once or twice a day.  What can I say you love to eat!!

Not sure about this puff thing

You definitely are growing like a weed.  Graham you now wear six to 12 month clothes.  While I am not sure about your weight exactly, I think Dr. Ober will be happy when we go back for your weight check next week., you certainly feel heavier to us!

You are now sitting up pretty securely.  You seem to really enjoy this because you are able to reach and play with your toys, instead of us handing them to you.  You also still love the door jumper.  You absolutely love bath time, you really could sit in there for hours splashing and having water poured on you.  Graham you make a sport out of putting your feet in your mouth.

Your first Valentine's day!

7 months and you certainly have begun to let us know what you don't want or like.  First on the list is getting dressed, especially when it involves putting a onesie on.  It is not often that you cry very hard but you sure do when we get you dressed.  We find ourselves giggling about how your normal cry sounds just like a little kitty cat.  Often when you get frustrated or tired you will start to blow raspberries and "boom boom"!  We have determined it is your way of letting us know that your patience is being testing, so pick up the pace Mommy and Daddy.

While we know how blessed we are with you, we often remind ourselves how lucky we are that you are so laid back.  You go wherever we take you without complaining a bit.  Often you have to spend many hours out and about.  You are so content just checking out the new sights.  Being such a busy guy these days means that you have been sleeping great at night also, usually 12 hours with one feeding around 10 pm.  

Happy to report you are sleeping in your bed, and you love it!!

Tonight Mommy and Daddy will be leaving you for the first time.  While we are excited to get away for a little vacation we are going to miss you and your brother like crazy.  Although we also know that Nana and Papa will give you so much love!  We hope you don't change an ounce before we get back.

Graham you have made our lives so much more complete these past 7 months.  We feel so lucky to be your parents!  You certainly make our days much brighter.  

Love this smile

Graham Edward, we love you soooo much!!!!
