Father's Day in Vermont

Here are some pictures of our trip to Vermont for Father's day. Graham loved being outdoors, playing in the grass, and smelling all the flowers in the Garden (and trying to eat them)...

Crawling!

Graham is crawling...and quickly. We are going to have our hands full with this guy but it's oh so much fun. Leo does not share our excitement as he is usually the intended target in Graham's new found mobility.

A visit from Tucker

Our friend Tucker was able to come visit us enroute back to DC after his conference. We had lunch, talked about the old times, swapped parenting stories, and most likely the real reason for Tucker's vist...Graham got a "talkin to" about staying away from Tucker's daughter Margot (who is about 3.5 weeks younger than Graham)... sorry Tucker...Meghan and I are already planning the wedding.

Sunday Afternoon

Vermont Weekend

Blue Eyes

(Is he flashing a gang sign? "West Somerville"?)

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.
