Not good!

This morning I started getting alarmed when I realized it was suspiciously quiet. I was watching the Today show and I knew Graham was playing in the hallway so I jumped up to check on him and this is what I found.
My son not only found my shirt somehow, but he figured out how to put it over his head. I was laughing so hard I could barely get to my feet to get to the camera.
It's a little scary to see your 13 month old wearing a "dress".

I Love dirt!

Graham discovered my flower pots this weekend. Since the all of the flowers are practically dead I let him go after one pot. He just laughed and laughed every time he slung a handful of dirt out of the pot.

"Are ya'll watching me?"
Time for a bath now.
It took several bathes to get the dirt out of Graham's nose and ears. Looks like a Blondy in this picture.

Gone to PaPaw's Beach!

Sharing my Papaw with Michael Conley

Lucy sings base, Papaw sings tenor, baby G joins right in there!

Chillin' with my PaPaw.... he's teaching me to singggggg!
While we were in Florida we tried a straw for the first time. That was an easy task to teach. Just squeezed the cup until the water came up the straw and that was all the help he needed.
Gettin' it with PaPaw.
"PaPaw makes me laugh all the time."

More Beach time!

We headed to PaPaw's for another fun weekend full of sun and water. I am so thankful that Graham loves them both as much as I do. If it wasn't so hot at home, we would live outside in the summer.


Here we have a child that is not afraid of the surf or waves.
Small wave crashes down on Graham.
Look at that smile though. It's a little scary that he isn't phased by the saltwater or fearful of the waves.

Back at PaPaw's house we jumped in the pool to rinse all the sand and salt off. Graham borrowed a friends life vest-he was our little mermaid for a short while. It didn't bother him one bit.

Ran out of swim diapers while we were outside so this was the alternative. Graham was waddling and his diaper was throwing him off balance. We were laughing hysterically.

We LOVE the summer!!!! Can you tell?

13 Months

Finally!

Sorry it's been a while since our last post but as you will see, I now have my hands full and sitting at the computer has become low on the list. So here we go.....Have we ever mentioned that Graham loves to help us clean. He has an obsession with the vacuum cleaner, brooms, and mops.

He used to be a little scared of the vacuum but now it's more of a game. When you turn it on, he runs and hides, then he'll come back to check your progress, hide again, and so on and so forth.
This is our newest adventure. Climbing. Graham can't quite get up on the furniture, which I'm not complaining a bit about that, but he will make anything into a climbing platform. Case in point, a box or pillow.
Yep, he's happy as can be.
Now for more confusion. Wearing rebel colors and shaking an Auburn pom pom. At least we are giving him the option for now.
This is where we sit and look for Daddy.
Yesterday while I was cooking, I looked up and Graham was carrying the handle from his vacuum. I have no idea how he broke it but never-the-less, we now have two toys out of one.
We went to the pool the other day. Our new kid pool at the Y is unbelievable. All of the water slides and fountains are so much fun. Graham loves to walk through the fountains but you can bet he's not going to let go of his truck.Big Belly!!!

More Birthday celebration!

We tried cake again and the only way Graham would eat it was if we fed him. I don't think he's going to have my sweet tooth.

Grandmother helped me unwrap my fun gifts.
Not so sure about my new hat.
Granddaddy and I didn't know we were supposed to smile for the camera.

We had to use Elmo to get Aunt Nancy to laugh. She doesn't know that I've fallen for this too many times.

Aunt Em got some last minute sugar.
"Please don't go everyone, my birthday can't be over!"
