Graham's Toddling!

Over the last week, Graham has been much more adventurous as he learns how to walk! He has amped up his "cruising," frequently moving from one piece of furniture to the next on two feet. And, while he has not been able to take more than a couple of steps on his own without support, he has begun taking the "leaps of faith."

Here, we've caught his best attempt yet at walking on his own... spurred by his best buddy, Brannock! It's only a matter of time now...



Next, we have a fun video of Graham with his favorite toys: balls. Daddy's also having some fun... at Graham's expense. But Graham seems to love it! :)

Happy Birthday: Graham Turns 1

Well, we did it. We all got through Graham's first year! Our little man quickly went from newborn to infant to toddler. And next up... big brother. We know he's going to do great. Us we're not so sure about (see amount of change in Graham's swear jar)!

At his 1 year milestone, Graham is not walking yet (so Daddy won the bet) but is "cruising" around the furniture and standing like a "big boy" unassisted. He's smart, however, and realizes he can crawl faster than he could walk, so he will lower himself to crawl to his destination. But we know that walking will come soon enough. His next challenges will be getting the rest of his teeth (he only has 5 which he loves to brush) and weaning himself off of formula, baby food, and pacifier. He currently only uses his "paci" at nap time and nights... or when Momma and Daddy need a break :)

We had a low key birthday celebration for Graham. Here are some photos from his birthday weekend. As well as a quick look back at Graham over his first year.

And by the way, it takes longer than 20 minutes
to assemble, contrary to what the box says.

A look back... can't believe how he's grown!
