Our Little Man

Graham had his one year check-up today. He weighs a whopping 24 lbs. and he is 31 inches tall! He's in the 90 percentile all around. He had to get 5 shots as well. He handled them well. He only cried for about a minute and as soon as I picked him up, he was smiling in no time.

Graham is such a funny baby. He's always so quick with a smile. We've had a few different people say that he looks like the baby on The Incredibles. The cashier at the store last week said he has a smile like Squints off of Sandlot. When he smiles he shows all 8 of his beautiful teeth.

He's getting very good at the whole walking thing. He can walk across the room now. It's kind of nice...the walking has slowed him down for a bit. He crawls at the speed of light! I'm sure once he masters the skill, I'll be playing a never ending chase game wherever we go. He's also entering the- opening-and-closing-of-all-the-cupboards-and-drawers-phase. We're looking forward to when he realizes he can pull out all the stuff.

We started a few months ago doing the Signing Time videos with Graham. He can sign "more" and he's done "milk" a couple times, too. But most of the time we sign to him and he just smiles really big at us and watches.

This year has flown by! It's hard to believe he's a year old already. But at the same time, it's hard to remember what our life was like without him. We love you, Graham! We love waking up (even though it's 6:00 am) to your big, bright smile every morning! We love your jabbering that often times sounds like you are cussing at us. We love hearing and watching you drum your big hands on any hard surface you can find. You make our lives so fun and bring us so much joy!
