Good Morning!

Graham and I have our morning beverages together every morning. I have my coffee..he of course has his milk. Like his new slippers?

My sweet boy....

Every now and then I get a really good picture!!!!

Forget Spring..it's Summer!

What a beautiful day we had today! Almost too hot outside. Graham took the opportunity to play outside with his latest hat to protect him from the sun. We spent a good part of the day outside, it was a great day! I finally got to get the basketball hoop outside where I wanted it, we needed something to do outside other than sidewalk chalk and picking up sticks. Graham loves his hoop, checkout his concentration face as he tries so hard to make a basket. He can do it with smaller balls, but the basketball unassisted basket still eludes him!

Big Boy Cereal!

Graham has decided he is big enough to eat cereal like a big boy, with milk, and a spoon! This was his dessert, cheerios with blueberries and vanilla soy milk. Yumm! He really liked it. He is officially getting too big.


Oh, and notice the nod to Earth Day...Graham is reusing his applesauce container from dinner to eat his ceareal:) Happy Earth Day!

Stacking...

If you know me at all, you know how much it bugs me that these are stacked out of order! I was a good mommy though and didn't "fix" it....until he went to bed:)

New park!

Part of being a Mom to a toddler seems to be going to the park...a lot. Which is fine, because we have a great time. Though our usual park is getting a little old, so I thought I would scope out the neighborhood and try to find something new. I found one just as close, but a bit newer, and very exciting to Graham. We took advantage of our few nice days and went a few times over the weekend. We met our friends Jenn and Lilli one day. Lilli is such a daredevil, if you look close you can see her powering UP the slide on her own! Graham watches her in amazement sometimes! I think he sometimes wishes he could be as much of an explorer as she is, but it doesn't seem to be in his little personality. He is content to sit and bounce or swing. He LOVES the swings. I now can't turn in the direction of the park without him saying "weengs" over and over in the car!

Hangin out in the swings...
To climb or not to climb...check out his new summer sandals though, aren't they so cute?
Graham loves this bouncy teeter totter thing....check out Miss Lilli in the background!
Trying to decide if he wants to attempt climbing the slide....he did with my help!

No trip to the park is complete without the first knee scrape of the summer! Time to make sure I have a First Aid kit in the car!

15 month well baby visit today

Today Graham and I went to visit his pediatrician for his 15 month well baby appointment. He was such a good sport until the dreaded shots. I don't know why, but I was actually ok watching him get them as an infant. Now that he is bigger and truly looks petrified and hurt when he wails after the shot, I just feel horrible. Anyway, for the stat update. Here we go.....21 lbs. (10th percentile..though I think that is generous) and 31 and 1/4 inches tall (45th percentile). He got the 4th round of his DTaP immunizations and the dreaded MMR shot. He seemed to be a happy camper the rest of the day, so all is good!
