6 Months!

How time flies!!! I can not believe that Graham is already 6 months old. We seem to be hitting a great stride...fingers crossed...I think that he is finally growing out of the colic and reflux. Graham seems like a happy baby. He smiles and laughs all the time (well, when he is not screaming). He is rolling over...and over...and over again. We are not quite sure how he manages to relocate from room to room as he is not crawling yet, but he is mobile! Graham absolutely loves his daddy more than anything and cries when he leaves the room to soon. He is so curious and into everything he can touch. You can just see the wheels turning in his head as he takes everything in. He just has a voracious appetite for food and life...as our friend Tucker says "Graham is just intense".
I love to come into his room and see his smile and I actually don't even mind that we are still meeting up at 3am for a quick bite to eat. Love is blind :)

First Tooth (Teeth)

Graham's first tooth appeared in mid-May. I have been so slow in posting that he actually has 2 teeth as of last Friday! Although right now his culinary choices are limited to carrots, squash, bananas, avocado, sweet potatoes, and applesauce, it won't be long before he is biting into his forst schnitzel!

Jumper

Last week Omi came for a visit. After a few days of trying to hold Graham while he wiggles, twists, bounces and squirms she went and got him this great jumper! He absolutely loves it...now if he was only an inch taller :)

High Chair!

Here is a little video of Graham in his high chair where he loves to play, watch me around the house and..........eat real food! So far: Apple sause, pears and bananas! Yummy!

Grocery Shopping

Graham and I had our weekly outing to whole foods and I thought I'd try placing him in the cart instead of leaving him in his car seat...he was psyched!!! The only problem is that he has to face me while we move... he almost got up and turned around himself.

"Hey mom look, they sell real food here! I don't have to drink that yucky formula anymore!"

Exersaucer!!!!! Thanks Titi Keryn!

Magic Hat

Dad picked up this Magic Hat onsie when he went to Vermont for our college reunion in October ( I was 8 months pregnant so I stayed home to avoid the shennanigans)

Vermont

 Opi and Graham watching some sports on TV

 Omi and Graham trying out some oatmeal cereal- yummy! The picture that I missed was of Graham grabbing the bowl with both hands and trying to drink it...

 Play time with Omi...already a pro with the remote

A brave Omi playing airplane with Graham...I was waiting to the reflux to play a mean trick on Omi but for once he kept the food down!

Trip to NH

Saint Patricks Day weekend in Waterville Valley:

The weather was beautiful and we were able to get out to the mountain and finally do some skiing while Matt's family took turns watching Graham. Although the skiing was a bit mushy we had a blast...needless to say we spent a good part of the day at the Schwendi hut sunning ourselves and keeping hydrated with the holiday appropriate beverages.

Happy St. Patricks Day

"...for me?"

Almost 4 months!

Time with Dad

A young James Dean?

photoshoot

Someone forgot to tell Graham that this was fun. He is Dad and Graham's serious pose...note to self: begin photo shoot after nap not before.

Opi and Omi with Graham

if we had a girl...

Ok..so this is not entirely my fault...be sure to mention that to Graham when he sees these photos some day! Omi found a hair clip that I wore as a little girl and decided to try it out on Graham. At least we refrained from putting him in the dirndl.

Step one: Puma Track Suit

We have started a college fund fpr Graham but with the price of colleges so high (and Matt's dream of owning a boat one day) we have decided to start training Graham early... we are not sure what sport he will excel in yet but a scholarship is definitely on the horizon! :)

Omi is giving him a pep talk...

Halk

So I have found the one benifit of Reflux...wardrobe changes! Graham and I play dress up...today I had an epiphany that I can mess with his hair too.

Not sure he finds the game as enjoyable as I do...
