Quintessential Graham

Shirtless + eating + Rambo hat + big smile  = Graham

Walking 1.0

This has actually been going on for about a week and a half but this is the first decent video.

Dessert and First Use of Spoon

Grandma Pincock and Auntie Kerry visited in April and we captured this video of Graham using a spoon for the first time to actually feed himself. I'll try to get more up soon.

Trip to Asheville, NC- Part 2

We also went for a little hike up to a local waterfall. The new backpack was great and as you will soon see, Graham feels very cozy in it. Be sure to see the video.

Getting him started early.

Three Wolves One Moon cameo...Graham grew five inches that day.

Trip to Asheville, NC- Part 1

Last month we went to the mountains in Asheville, NC for a long weekend for Shannon's birthday. It was a great weekend and I really need to catch up on some blogging.

For Shannon's birthday I got this great backpacking pack for carrying Graham! No backpacking on this trip but this was just a warm up trip. We will do some backpacking before Graham turns one.

We paid a visit to the Biltmore mansion. It was such an amazing estate...we spent several hours there, including a lot of hiking, and we can't wait to our next visit.

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
