Sitting Like a Big Boy

Ugh! I am so delinquent in blogging!! And so much has happened! A weekend trip to Asheville, a visit by Kerry and Grandma Pincock, getting in trouble for wrestling other kids at school, a couple of trips to the beach, and so much growing!!

Some new BIG boy tricks:

• As you can see above Graham is now rocking a big boy car seat. Just installed it last night and he loves it. I think its more comfy than the last one.
• Crawling 2.1- it's legit! He is everywhere. We are doing some serious baby proofing this weekend.
• Two-piece pajamas- Who knew that jumpers are only made up to 12 months...at least that's all we can find for him and those are getting snug. His Auntie Kerry bought him his first set of two piece PJs; Shannon cried.
• Resisting being fed- Ugh! He is constantly trying to pull the spoon away and feed himself. It doesn't need to be said that feeding time is getting messy. He loves to eat whatever we eat- chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, BBQ ribs (picture soon)!
• Swimming- We are taking him to our gym and he loves to "swim" with Mom and Dad. He even doesn't mind being dunked!
• Clapping and waving- he is picking up on emotions and some social ques. He claps, waves and reacts ENTHUSIASTICALLY when he recognizes someone.
• Today's stats: 22lbs, 29 inches, 4 teeth

Birthday Cake!

Wow! Sooooo far behind in my posting! Soooo many great stories and pictures and videos to share. The weekend after Easter we all went to Asheville, NC to celebrate Shannon's birthday. It was an awesome trip and consequently we have tons of pics and videos that I hope to post over the next several days.

In the meantime I thought I would share some pics from this past weekend. There was a birthday party from Shannon's work / Graham's school. Well, one of the teachers decided to give Graham some cake. We almost never give Graham anything that is pure sugar and on the rare occasion it is always just a taste...well not this time...but not by our doing! Wasn't pleased at first but it sure was funny!

Here he is just after discovering the tasty cake. Notice the dexterity, the utilization of bath hands and the clean shirt.

Someone joked that they were going to take the cake away from him...he was not amused!

At this point he was tired of picking at his slice piece by piece and just picked up the whole thing...again notice how clean his shirt is even at this point.

Graham after he has just devoured most of the full piece of cake that was laid before him. Notice how clean his shirt his?...still! He does not mess around!

Crawling 1.5

Well, Crawling 1.0 (beta) started a week or two ago. It looked more like a Marine Corps inspired low crawl. Today he showed us he could use his knees. Crawling 1.5 looks a little like a hobbit or monkey as he gives himself a little extra push with his feet. Oh boy!

HAPPY EASTER! Part 1

First Easter egg hunt.

We went to the beach to hang out with the Wolitskis for the weekend and enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather...low 70s and sunny all weekend!

Ready for Baywatch?

A quick break from the Easter egg hunt for a family pic....Graham wants to get back to the hunt.

Graham, no eggs until you are one year old!

Proud parents and baby Nolan.
