Cindy Lou Who? Hair!

Don't I look like a Who? from Whoville???It's stayed like this all evening until bath!

Yes, that is a full plate of dinner. It never got eaten tonight. Being sick stinks!

Sick day..

Poor Graham isn't feeling well. He started with some nasty snotty stuff oozing from his nose pretty much constantly yesterday, along with a cough and sneezing. Tonight he went to bed with a fever of 101. I am hoping he wakes up feeling better. He has been whiny, clingy, and just not happy. I am finding that the hardest thing to get him to do though is just STOP! Stop running, walking, playing, etc. He tries to keep moving and then he will drop a toy, or trip a little, and oh my, the flood gates open! So I tried to get him to sit and cuddle. It worked for a few minutes, but he just wanted to keep moving. So, we played peekaboo! The first picture shows really well how he is feeling:( The following pictures are a series of peekaboo pics. I took these right before bed yesterday, so please ignore how nasty his shirt is, we were 2 minutes away from bath here, so the shirt and all its nastiness was coming off!


Sidenote: Look above at all the board books that are out-they all are ones with photos of babies..these are the only ones he gets out to read!

Happy Face...

Buddies!

We had such fun today! Graham and I had Carol and Andrew over for dinner and to play. Andrew and Graham share the same birthday. Carol and I texted all through labor! Here are a few pictures of their play date today......and from a year ago! Babies grow, way, way too fast!

Andrew and Graham on their way up to take a bath.


Andrew isn't a huge fan of the bath, so we thought seeing Graham enjoy it might help. He was completely entertained watching Graham, and we thought we had him sold, he even learned a new word, Duck! So, this was the result. Poor Andrew! We hope he starts to enjoy bathtime soon!

Andrew trying to get through the bath!

After the bath we decided to put the boys in the chair for a photo shoot as we did when they were little guys. Our challenge back then was keeping them propped up...this time it was keeping them sitting still in the chair.

Such big boys!

HAT!

We had a fun early afternoon with all the friends over for lunch, and after a long nap, Graham was ready to play again today. His favorite word this week is "hat". I keep his hats, shoes, coats, in our laundry room. Tonight he kept going into the laundry room saying "hat" and pointing up to them. I got it down, put it on his head, and for the next hour he played and played, but never took off the hat! It cracked me up so I kept taking pictures. He even ate his dinner with the hat on. It NEVER came off until he finished dinner..the hat was on for well over an hour. What a silly guy! He is going to be that kid who shows up to preschool in his batman suit because he refuses to take it off!
Getting my shoes for me...even though I didn't need them!

Busy Busy!

The hat has been on for about 45 minutes at this point..

Dinner with a hat on...yes I know it's poor manners, but too cute in this case.

All done! No more hat!

More Ellies!

Today Graham got a visit from his two other girlfriends named Ellie. Remember a few weeks ago Graham met Ellie B. Today he met Ellie L. and Ellie W. He also got to play with Ellie L's big brother, Jack. Graham met Jack when he was only a few days old, and Jack was about Graham's age now, they are about 13 months apart. It was fun to see them be able to play together. Jack was a very big boy, and really wanted to practice his sharing with Graham, but Graham wasn't too interested! The Ellie's moms and I are all high school friends. We had a good time catching up, though sometimes that is a lot easier to do over a bottle of wine instead of having babies needing constant attention. Kate and the kids are in town for a little bit, so I hope we get some grown up time to catch up!

Graham started to whine and tug on Kate's leg, thinking it was mine. Jack then got jealous and wanted his Mama's leg all to himself...so Kate had both boys needing a little attention:)

Close up of the babies!

Ok, I tried to rotate this, and it just wouldn't work, so sorry! This was the easy picture to get, the next one-not so much!

We had a hard time getting Graham to sit nicely with Jack for a picture!

We used the timer on my camera to take this picture, turned out pretty good. We had a few takes of this, and Jack was right on cue with his "cheese"!

To grandmother's house we go!

Graham spent Valentine's Day night at his Yaya's house. He was all packed with his very favorite things, and ready to go!
