<i>Disclaimer: Super long post!</i></div>
<br />
Let's play catch-up, shall we? As always, we have had a super busy springtime. Between two full-time working parents, church and church activities, dance, birthday parties, and fitting in all the playing and fun that we can, there is always something going on with the Furr family. And that's just the way I like it! Our laptop has been broken for a while, and we haven't replaced it yet, so that's the main reason for my lack of blogging and photos, but I do have some phone pics and Aunt Katie snaps to share.<br />
<br />
We didn't do much for spring break, other than some fun days spent at home and a trip to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center on the coast. Sister enjoyed following in Mama's footsteps as a grocery store cashier.<br />

We've been cultivating that beautiful head of hair for four long years, ha ha. She was so proud of her trim.<br />
<br />
Cliff and I both set fitness goals in 2012, and we're both well on the road to achieving them. He has lost 50 pounds and completed a 5K. I never thought I'd see the day for that!<br />

I still really don't like running, but I was glad to complete a goal. Since the weather has gotten too hot for me to run on my lunch break at work (and still look like a decent human being afterwards), I have been doing Jillian Michaels DVDs in my office. She is brutal but good. I wore some pants from my honeymoon the other day. Holla!<br />

Back to the kids. We had a fun Easter and did lots of egg hunting!<br />

She had her very first dance recital! I've been dreaming of this day since I had the sonogram that told me she was a girl! She did so good, and loved every minute of it. So fun!<br />
<br />
Finally, the biggest thing going on around here has been a wrap-up of pre-school and daycare and the start to summer fun. I can't believe how much these two have grown and changed this school year.<br />

We've been so blessed to have them here with us at Co-Lin, and they both have had wonderful teachers. I'm pretty sure G loves Miss Margaret more than me, and Amelia thinks Miss Melissa hung the moon. She has learned to write her name and all the letters of the alphabet and how they sound, can sound out and recognize some words, can recognize and write all of her numbers and count to over 100, is learning about science, and so much more. One more year of pre-school and then it's on to K5 for our girl. She just loves to learn and I am so glad. G did lots of learning at school too, but I think they baby him quite a bit, ha. He is finally walking now that he's home for the summer. Still not full-time, but we're getting there. A post on that will be forthcoming when the big day arrives!<br />
<br />
Since school got out they've been enjoying time at home with a sitter and we've been getting out for some fun in the sun when mama and daddy get home. <br />

I am so overdue on lots of things I want to post about for my own memories' sake, but before I do that, I'm going to post about some really old news- Graham's nursery. I had every intention of sharing these photos before I had Graham, but since he came two weeks early, mere hours after I completed his room, well... that just didn't happen. Then he was here and when I ever did get time to post, I just wanted to share my sweet new baby instead of room pics.<br />
<br />
However, believe it or not, his little room has become somewhat of an internet sensation over the last year or so. I shared pics of the room on <a href="http://projectnursery.com/projects/grahams-bright-and-modern-nursery/" target="_blank">Project Nursery</a> for fun, and what do you know, the thing started showing up all over Pinterest. Crazy! It was featured as <a href="http://projectnursery.com/2012/05/april-project-gallery-winners/" target="_blank">Project of the Month </a>on Project Nursery and was actually the <a href="http://projectnursery.com/2012/12/most-viewed-nurseries-of-2012/" target="_blank">most viewed nursery of 2012</a> on their site. Seriously, who would have thought? I got lots and lots of emails from people asking questions about the room after that, and I still get at least one email a week about it. It's been featured on a couple of other web sites that I'm aware of <a href="http://living.msn.com/family-parenting/raising-kids/15-amazing-inspiring-baby-nurseries?refid=17" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://parentables.howstuffworks.com/slideshows/nesting/10-gender-neutral-nurseries-stylish-baby-boys-girls/" target="_blank">here</a>. I decided after another site emailed me about featuring it that it might be good if I actually had photos of the room on my blog if and when people ever mosy over here, ha ha.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">All that to say, yes, now I am finally sharing some breaking news here on my blog: year-old photos of my baby's room. Oops. </span><br />

I really had so much fun doing this room for my sweet G. I'm not really sure why it's gotten so much attention, but I'm guessing it has something to do with chevron being so popular and at the time there hadn't been a ton of nurseries featuring that pattern. I don't know. Obviously, I love it, but there are way better designed, more expensive, fancier and cooler nurseries than this out there. It's kind of funny that my little old room that we did on a pretty tight budget became so popular. If only all those "pinners" could see what a mess it is today, ha! It's not nearly as cute with toys strewn on the floor and with the bedding bunched up because we've had to lower the mattress for the little climber. But it's still sweet to me because it's where my baby sleeps, and we created it with love just for him!<br />

We had so much fun celebrating our year with Graham with a "Where the Wild Things Are" themed party! It has always been one of my favorite children's books and I decided while I was still pregnant with Graham that we would do a party based on the book for his first birthday.<br />
<br />
I have tried to learn from my mistakes with Amelia and have enjoyed this year with Graham as a bit of a do-over in parenting, ha. One thing I learned is to not stress too much over the birthday party that you actually miss out on celebrating your child's birthday. I didn't go nearly as over-the-top with G's party as I may or may not have done for Amelia, but I thought it turned out cute, and we had a great time celebrating our sweet boy with our family and friends. I'll let the photos speak for themselves! As always, fabulous photography by Aunt Katie. Party details and sources at the end.<br />

We had such a good time celebrating with our family and G's little friends. That baby LOVED his cake! He cried when I took it away, but got over it before we could even get a photo of his meltdown when he realized he still had plenty to lick on his fingers. :) Unlike his sister, who was pretty dainty and ladylike with her smash cake, this boy had to leave his party guests to go take a bath before he could re-join the fun! And what was I thinking with that black icing? Oh well, the t-shirt may be stained, and the bib I sewed may not look the same, but the memories are so worth it!<br />

<li>is still a fabulous sleeper! He sleeps for about 12 hours at night and takes a long morning nap and a short afternoon nap every day. My boy loves his bed! He likes to have his paci and lovie at bedtime and is happy to just snuggle up in his crib and goes right to sleep without rocking. I don't know what we did to deserve him, but I am so thankful!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our G is just such a joy to our whole family! He has the sweetest, happiest personality and is the most laid-back baby I've ever known. He and his sister absolutely adore each other. He is just starting to try to get into her stuff, which drives her crazy, but she is still so sweet and loving with him. It makes our hearts so happy, but I know a day will come when they won't be so sweet to each other all the time. We are so thankful for the past year with him, and we are so blessed to have him in our family. I have loved watching Amelia become a big sister and for Cliff and I to learn that our love could multiply even more. We couldn't imagine life without our sweet, sweet baby Graham!</div>

I had to finally get G's 11 month post up today since he is turning one tomorrow! I know parents always say this, but I really can't believe it. He did not want to sit down for his 11 month picture this time. I love looking back over how he has grown. When I ever get around to putting his 12 month post up I will post them all together. </div>

At 11 months, our sweet Graham:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>wears 12 months clothes, size 3 or 4 shoe and has moved up to a size 4 diaper</li>
<li>has started eating mostly table food, but still enjoys his baby food. He still will eat pretty much anything you give him.</li>
<li>has two bottom teeth, two top teeth and some more coming through on top any day</li>
<li>weaned himself from his bottle on his own :(</li>
<li>has gotten to be a super fast crawler and loves going in sister's room best of all. His favorite thing to play with in her room is her toy kitchen. He is pulling up and cruising, but not close to walking yet.</li>
<li>has started to notice television and will watch for a few seconds, but isn't too into it yet. </li>
<li>loves our dog Cash and looks for him when I ask, "Where's Cash?" or "Where's the dog?" Just another example of how he could not be more different than his sister.</li>
<li>does this funny thing where he shakes his head as if saying 'no' when he is really happy. He will just grin and shake his head around. He will also grin and mimic you if you do it. It is so precious. </li>
</ul>

Not much has changed for our sweet boy from last month, but it does appear from these photos that he is growing like a weed. I can't wait to celebrate his birthday this weekend and share photos and a recap post soon!</div>

Whatever. It's basketball season. But I do, of course, have to update so that I'll remember sweet baby G at 10 months. Goodness gracious, how did we get here so fast? He turned 11 months on Friday. You know what that means... Birthday party planning time!<br />

At 10 months, our sweet boy:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">FINALLY started crawling. Now he is on the move and into everything. We had a good run of him staying put where I leave him, and now he's making up for lost time. He is pulling up and cruising </span><span style="text-align: center;">around the furniture too.</span></li>

<ul>
<li>weighs about 21 pounds and wears mostly 12 month clothes, a size 3 or 4 diaper and a 3 shoe.</li>
<li>has two teeth on bottom, and a couple are poking through on top. </li>
<li>is getting more hair and even has a few curls. Be still my heart. </li>

<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>is doing a lot of jabbering, and says mama, dada and bye-bye. He loves to mimic sounds and has a few other "almost words" that he says. </li>
<li>still loves his bath and loves to splash like a crazy boy. </li>
<li>still gets excited about meal times and is eating some table food. He doesn't turn much down, and he still really likes his baby food. He is not a fan of puffs or other baby snacks besides yogurt melts. He loves those. He also loves any kind of ice cream. He gets that from me. </li>
<li>Has started playing with toys a little more, and<a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11807209&CAWELAID=941314384&pla=plat&cagpspn=pla" target="_blank"> this</a> is his favorite one. Thanks to "Aunt" Kelsey for that one. He loves any ball. </li>
<li>still sleeps great in his crib, PTL! He prefers not to be rocked, and goes right to sleep at night and sleeps for about 12 hours at a time. He still takes a morning and an afternoon nap at home, but usually only takes one when he's at school. I should mention here that he adores his teacher, Miss Margaret more than ever. All of the girls at the daycare just go nuts over him and talk about how sweet and happy he is. </li>
<li>got to see his very first snow! We only got a dusting, but he liked it. </li>

<li>is such a good little fan at Daddy's ball games. He is good to sit in my lap and clap and watch the game, and he especially loves watching the Colettes dance. Typical male, ha. He also really likes the wolf mascot, but gets a little scared when he gets too close. </li>

I can't believe we've almost had our happy boy for a year. We can barely remember life without him!</div>

I know it's already January, but whatever. I still want to record my memories and photos even though I'm a little late. I really enjoyed being at home for over two weeks with my family. Cliff was gone a lot with basketball, but we still squeezed in as much family time as possible. When he wasn't around, it was just me and the kiddos, and good gracious, that will wear you out! No wonder I haven't made time to blog lately.<br />
<br />
Last year was such a fun and special year since it was the first year Amelia really "got it," and it was our last Christmas with her being our only child. This year was even more fun because not only did she really get the whole Santa thing, but she understood more about what Christmas is really about, the birth of our Savior. She was just so excited about everything. G, of course, couldn't have cared less about the whole holiday, but he did enjoy getting so much attention. And he really liked playing with all the wrapping paper and boxes!<br />
<br />
I'll just share a bunch of photos rather than more boring commentary from me.<br />
<br />
We started off the season with a quick family shoot with Katie for our Christmas cards. These pictures make me so happy!<br />

Nine months was a month of continued growth and trying new things for our sweet boy. We enjoyed a week at home together for Thanksgiving and over two week at home for Christmas during this month, so we have had lots of time together. Here are some highlights from month nine:<br />
<ul>
<li>wearing mostly 12 months clothes and a size 3 diaper during the day and a 4 at night. </li>
<li>has two 6 oz bottles a day, and usually one more at night</li>
<li>still has just the two bottom teeth</li>
<li>still loves all of his baby food and is great at self feeding little snacks and yogurt melts. He cleans his tray off in lightening speed.</li>
<li>becoming a chunky monkey! Not sure what he weighs now, but he was 20 pounds the last time we went to the doctor a month or so ago. </li>
<li>started doing better at drinking from his sippy cup. He likes to drink it while you hold it for him like a little bottle calf, ha. But he can and does hold it himself when he wants to. </li>
<li>really started mimicking sounds more. "Ma-ma-ma" comes mostly when he's whining and wants me to pick him up. "Da-da-da" is all the dang time. I think he's starting to get that that means Cliff, and I'm pretty sure he knows I'm mama. Can't wait to see what he will call sister. He will also wave bye-bye and say the words a lot. Sometimes he just randomly starts waving at people and it is so precious.</li>
<li>loves playing outside, swinging, and playing on the trampoline. </li>
<li>really improved his crawling skills, but mostly just army crawling and going backwards. Still has been pretty content to stay in the same place for a while. </li>
<li>loves his teacher at school, Miss Margaret, and his Sunday School teachers, Miss Sandra, Miss Kim and Miss Chris. </li>
<li>kicks his feet wildly when he gets excited about something. Examples of kick worthy moments: when he sees his bottle, when I pick him up from school, when I get his food ready to feed him, when Amelia comes into the room, when Cliff comes home, and once he was so tired that he kicked when I took him in his room and walked over to put him in his bed. Sweet, sweet boy.</li>

Eight months was a big month for Graham. Back in November and December. Oops. I wrote this over a month ago, and it's been sitting in the drafts folder waiting for a photo. But at last here I am to catch up on my baby's memory keeping. .At eight months our sweet G:<br />
<ul>
<li>Finally got teeth! After months of gnawing and slobbering, those little two on the bottom popped up at the same time shortly after he turned eight months. </li>
<li>started sleeping all night in his own crib. While I was nursing, he slept in the bassinet beside our bed, and usually ended up in the bed with us at some point in the night. When he outgrew the bassinet a month or so ago (it's a large one, ha), I started putting him in his crib to start the night, but he never lasted long and eventually ended up with us. Not sure what happened, but it was just like something clicked and he started sleeping all night in it at eight months. It's so strange waking up and seeing him sleeping peacefully on the monitor. Since Amelia slept with us until she was two, it finally feels like we're getting our money's worth out of the crib and bedding, ha. </li>
<li>started making strides towards crawling, but didn't go all the way quite yet. He would go from a sitting position onto his belly, but only succeeded in moving backwards a little bit. He's was still pretty content to just sit still and I have been very OK with that!</li>
<li>started waving all the time and saying "bye-bye." He also makes the "da-da" sound but I don't think he associates it with Cliff yet. He waves at everyone and just grins at them until they wave back and it is so precious. He is such a friendly little guy!</li>
<li>has absolutely no interest in playing with toys. This should make Santa's job easy!</li>
</ul>
<br />

Crazy for me! But I had a few minutes and just had to document our super-fun Halloween this year. I'm really big on firsts and I was so excited that not only was this Graham's first Halloween, but that this would be Amelia and Graham's first Halloween together. Can you say themed costumes? Ha! I have been thinking about this for, no lie, a year now. I found out last October that G was going to be a boy and I immediately started thinking about what he and sister could be for Halloween this year. I know I am a huge nerd, but whatever. <br />
<br />
I ran across <a href="http://yoursparklebox.com/item_31/Little-Bo-Peep-Tutu-Dress.htm" target="_blank">this fabulous costume</a> and knew that it was perfect for my girl. But if you know me at all, you know that I'm much too thrifty to pay such a hefty pricetag for a dang Halloween costume. As if! So I set out to make my own knock-off, and here you have it:<br />

I was pretty pleased that I created a pretty good knock-off for around 25 bucks total. I love good deals! And what's a good Bo Peep without her sheep? We found this guy roaming around. </div>

I know that I will treasure this photo forever! I thought they looked so precious in these costumes, and leave it to our Graham to just sit there and smile in his costume. No way would our firstborn have tolerated that for one minute, let alone smile the whole time wearing it. That's just how G rolls. <br />

On Halloween morning, the kids got to trick-or-treat around campus, and Cliff and I were able to join them. Here's Graham and one of his school buddies, Eden. Isn't she a precious poodle?<br />

After school,we went to a pre-trick-or-treating party at some friends' house, and then we made a few stops to see some more friends and Cliff's dad and grandparents. Amelia got WAY too much candy that she is still asking to eat everyday. Come this weekend, it's going to mysteriously disappear. <br />
<br />
It was a memorable year for our kiddos first Halloween together, and I'm already looking forward to next year. I don't know how long I will be able to swing themed costumes, but I have ideas for about 10 more years! I'll do it as long as they will let me!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859002710525375536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979982730890764331.post-2285534760508033712012-11-07T12:34:00.002-08:002012-11-07T12:34:30.881-08:00Graham at seven months<br />

Graham will be eight months old in a a few days, so I wanted to highlight some things from his seventh month. Not much has changed from six months, but I still wanted to update for my memories. At seven months Graham:</div>
<ul>
<li>hasn't grown much from last month according to his clothes. He is still wearing 9 and 12 months clothes, size two shoe and a size three diaper. I think he's gotten longer this month. PJs are getting hard to snap in the middle and his one-piece outfits are getting snug. I like him better in jeans or khakis and shirts or polos these days. I'm sad to see those Polo rompers go away! He was so precious in those all summer. </li>
<li>has started babbling this month. No real words, but he does say "da da da" a lot. Just waiting for a "ma-ma" any day. </li>
<li>has started noticing our dog, Cash more this month. Usually nothing will distract him from his food in the highchair, but he is fascinated with watching Cash out the window. </li>
<li>has slacked off on his bottles. He usually only has 2-3 6-ounce bottles a day now, but hasn't really embraced the sippy cup yet. He mostly just plays with it. He eats cereal in the mornings and two meals of two jars of baby food a day. </li>
<li>has started self-feeding with some puffs and yogurt melts. He caught on really quickly and loves to help himself to some little snacks.</li>
<li>STILL doesn't have any teeth, but I <em>think</em> I finally see one popping through on the bottom this week. He has been uncharacteristically fussy the past few days, so I'm hoping it's the teeth. </li>
<li>has developed an obsession with cell phones and remotes, like all babies do at some point. He dives for a phone or remote and gets them to his mouth every chance he gets. I think we all know what Santa needs to bring for G! Does anyone have an old cell phone or remote he can have? Babies never seem to like the toy ones as much as the real ones. </li>
<li>rode in the sitting up portion of the buggy for the first time this month and LOVED it!</li>
<br />
And now for some pics. We had a photo shoot with Aunt Katie a couple of weeks ago. Here are <strike>a few</strike> a bunch of the fabulous photos she took:<br />

I am in love with all of these pics! I can't wait to get some printed and framed for the house and my office.<br />
<br />
A couple of these reminded me of a shoot we did with Lindey for Mimi at around the same age. Check out the comparison:<br />

This is the first time I've actually thought my children have looked alike! I see the same nose and mouth, and maybe even ears too. Let's just be honest- put a tutu and flower on him and it's the same kid, ha! In color they look more different because G's eyes are bright blue and Mimi's are dark brown. I actually just took a color photo that Katie had taken and made it black and white to compare, so I'm sure the color/composition/whathaveyou is not correct.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I also thought these looked kind of similar. We really didn't even plan it. Katie just happened to have a yellow chair. </div>

Still some similarities, but I think G's eyes just make him look so much different than his sister. Look alikes or not, I think they are the sweetest babies I've ever known and I'm so thankful for another sweet month with our Grahamy!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859002710525375536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979982730890764331.post-54333769321778659582012-10-29T09:05:00.001-07:002012-10-29T09:05:08.914-07:00Four.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dear Amelia,<br />
Today you are four years old! How is that possible? It seems like no time ago when you were a tiny baby in my arms. You are our firstborn, and came as a ray of sunshine after a sad time for our family. You are the first grandchild on both sides of our family. Do you know how spoiled rotten that makes you? Everyone went nuts over you the day you were born and continue to do so today. <br />
<br />
You are cute, smart, polite and funny. You are clumsy, love to make a mess with tiny objects and forget to say yes mam and no mam sometimes, but those are about the only negative things I can think of to say about you. You are really such a delightful child, and other people tell us this regularly as well and it makes us so proud. You are girly and love to dress up and pretend. We absolutely adore your imagination! You love your baby dolls, and I just know you are going to be a fabulous mama one day. You are so bright! We are amazed at how quickly you learn things, and I hope that love of learning continues as you go through school. <br />
<br />
You grew up so much when you became a big sister, and we are so proud of how you have handled the changes in our family. You are so sweet to Graham, and he adores you! It makes my heart so happy to see you interact with each other. You love to help me around the house and with the baby. You are very obedient and love to please me and Daddy and your teachers at church and school, and we are so proud of that. <br />
<br />
Amelia, you are such a joy to our family. You make every day more fun. Daddy and I could not be prouder of the little girl you have become, and we can't wait to see the person you grow up to be. Happy Birthday to the sweetest four-year-old I know!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

I just finished up my biggest event of the year at work, Homecoming, and had a few minutes to share a few of our recent photos. I have lots more fun things to share soon after I wrap up Amelia's birthday <strike>party</strike> parties this weekend. Of course, then basketball starts the next week, so the running around never really ends. Luckily, we like being busy and on-the-go most of the time and G is pretty content to just go with the flow, thank goodness. <br />
<br />
We did a photo shoot with Katie a few weeks ago specifically for Graham, but we jumped in for a family pic at the end and I'm so glad we did. <br />

Graham isn't wearing a shirt because we had just been photographing him in just his jeans on top of a hay bale, ha, and sister still had her braids in from earlier that day and after a nap. Sometimes the non-staged/coordinated pics turn out to be your favorites. Katie took a bunch more that I hope to share soon when she gets them ready. We are so blessed to have her in so many ways, but the great photos are a nice perk. </div>

I know he's mine, but good gracious. He is as sweet as he is pretty! And yes, his eyes are really that blue. We took these pics in the field behind Cliff's grandparents' house, and we stopped in to see them before going out. Katie thought to grab one of Papaw's fedoras before we left and got this precious pic of G in his great-grandfather's hat. Priceless. </div>

Sister has been in her share of photos lately too, of course. She was asked to be the flower girl in Cliff's cousin Kaitlyn's wedding, and I was so proud to hear what a good job she did. Yes, I only got to hear about it since the wedding was on Homecoming day and I couldn't make it, boo. </div>

This was her third wedding to be the flower girl in in her almost 4 years, and after two failed tries (she was only 18 months old in Mare's so it doesn't qute count), she finally nailed it. I was proud of myself for whipping up her dress too! Tutus and tutu dresses are super easy. No way was I paying over 100 bucks for it when I knew I could do it myself. </div>

I hope to be back soon with posts about other fall fun like our trip to the fair, as well as a post about Graham at 7 months, and sister's 4th birthday. Wow! So many fun things to talk about, so little time. The Furr family is blessed, indeed. </div>

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I last blogged. Tis the season for busy. Anyway, before he turns 7 months old, let me record G's stats. At 6 months Graham:<br />
<ul>
<li>weighs 18 pounds, 1 ounce, and is 28 inches long. He is a pound heavier and an inch longer than sister was at this age. He grew four pounds and four inches since his four month appointment. Good gracious! He is wearing 9 months clothes, size 3 diaper and a size 2 shoe.</li>
<li>LOVES to eat! (see previous point). Graham's favorite foods are...well, everything. He eats any fruit or veggie or mixture of the two that I put in front of him and ALWAYS cries when it's all gone. I haven't been able to fill this boy up yet!</li>
<li>still loves his bottle and takes 6 ounces about 4 times a day. He gets so excited and kicks his feet and squeals when he sees his bottle. It's so precious. </li>
<li>is sitting up really well on his own, and loves to sit in the floor and play with his toys. He was a good baby before ,but he's even easier to deal with now that he is able to entertain himself with his toys for a while. </li>
<li>is starting to babble a good bit, but hasn't really said any definite word sounds yet. Amelia was waving bye-bye and saying a couple of words at this age, but I'm not worried about brother. She was ahead of the game a little, and I know he'll do things in his own time. </li>
<li>FINALLY rolled over for the first time, but has only done it a few times since. (See previous point on doing things in his own time, ha) He prefers to be sitting up now, so he doesn't have a lot of opportunity to roll over. He does tolerate tummy time a little better now and is starting to push up with his arms and attempt to scoot. </li>
<li>is getting a lot better with his reflux, but is still a pukey little boy. Obviously he's keeping enough down to grow!</li>
<li>ADORES his big sister more and more every day. He grins all the time anyway, but he is absolutely infatuated with Amelia. He smiles every time she looks at him or talks to him, and he looks bummed out if he's in his carseat and looks over and she's not in hers. He is sitting up by himself in the bathtub now, and he really loves taking a bath with her. </li>
<li>is still a super happy, friendly baby. Everyone we come in contact with comments on how sweet and happy he is. We are so thankful for his sweet personality. </li>
<li>is rarely fussy, but when he is, it is usually because his gums are bothering him. Poor thing still doesn't have any teeth, but he has been drooling and chewing (and whining) a lot lately, so I expect one or more to push through any day. </li>
<li>got his first little cold this month, and did not feel good at all. He had a runny nose and a cough and for the first time, wouldn't smile at me when he woke up in the morning. Luckily, he got over and it was back to his happy self in a couple of days, but not before sharing it with Mama, the little stinker. </li>
</ul>

Graham has just stolen our hearts more than we ever could have imagined. He is such a laid-back, happy and sweet baby that you just can't help but love him and to smile and be happy when you are around him. We often say that Amelia was a tough act to follow. She was the first grandchild on both sides, and everyone was just nuts about her (still are). But little brother's sweet little personality shines through to everyone who spends time with him, and it's so easy to be nuts over him, too. We can barely remember what life was like without him, and I'm so sad that he's already half a year old. However, I am excited to watch him grow see the little person he is turning out to be.

Amelia was so excited to perform with the little Wolfpups, and for the first time in almost 4 years, she is not afraid of the wolf mascot anymore! This is huge, y'all. She has been asking to go to Disney World (my worst nightmare, but that's a whole other post, ha), but since she has always been so afraid of the wolf and any other character, I told her there's no way we're paying to go see Mickey until she can give the wolf a high five. Well, she finally is not scared of him anymore, and had a lot of fun cheering and dancing with her friends. I took a few pics, but they were too far away and turned out too blurry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She was so busy running around and playing that she didn't want to stop and smile for me, but she was happy to do it when I asked her to pose with her friend Aubree.

"Mista" Alligator is a song she learned at school recently and we can't get enough of her singing it! She had already done it for us a couple of times, so you can tell her throat was getting dry, poor thing. I have no idea where "Mista" came from. (Her teacher is Caucasian, but most of the student helpers are not. Maybe that's it?) Either way, we adore it!

Our sweet boy is growing so fast! At five months Graham:<br />
<ul><li>is wearing size 6 months clothes, size two diaper, and size one shoe</li>
<li>is becoming a chunky monkey now that he is eating solids. I'm guessing he's probably around 15 pounds</li>
<li>LOVES his baby food! He eats cereal with fruit for breakfast, a veggie and fruit at lunch and a veggie and fruit for supper, with 3 bottles in between. He loves to eat! (wonder where he gets that, oops!)</li>
<li>still smiles, laughs and coos all the time</li>
<li>is able to sit up on his own for a little while, but is still wobbly</li>
<li>STILL has not rolled over. What in the world?</li>
<li>still loves his bath and has started kicking and splashing in the water more</li>
<li>adores his big sister! He has really started noticing Amelia and he grins and laughs at everything he says. It is the sweetest thing!</li>
<li>loves playing in his exersaucer, and just tried out a jumper in the church nursery and really liked it. Who remembers how much big sister hated those contraptions? He could not be more opposite than her as a baby!</li>
<li>can hold his own bottle and does, but still likes mama and daddy (or sometimes sister) to do it for him sometimes</li>
<li>is trying his hardest to cut some teeth. I feel a little something coming through on top and bottom but nothing yet. He drools and chews constantly.</li>
<li>is doing so good at daycare and loves his teacher, Miss Margaret</li>
<li>is getting better about not waking up in the night, but prefers to sleep with mama and daddy. How did we get here again? Ha ha. He starts off in his crib or bassinet, but ends up with us before the night is over. I am not nearly as stressed about getting him to sleep in his bed as I was with Amelia. To be honest, I enjoy the snuggling, and lately I've just done what I had to do to get some sleep! I know that this time passes so quickly and while I do want to keep trying to get him to sleep in his own bed, I'm not going to be upset if he ends up with us sometimes. </li>
</ul>Here's some pics of our sweet man from this month:<br />

Graham started going to daycare at Co-Lin, and sister moved up to the big pre-school class. She has been so excited about it all summer. She already knew and liked her teacher, Miss Melissa, and she has been PUMPED about getting to play on the big kid playground. There were no first-day tears for any of us, and I'm so thankful! We are so blessed to have an amazing daycare and pre-school right on campus where we work. It's so comforting to know my whole family is near each other all day. </div><br />
Amelia will have two years in this pre-school class before starting kindergarten. With an October birthday, she will be one of the oldest in her class, which for the most part will be an advantage, I think. I'm thankful we have a little time left to decide where we're going to send Amelia for kindergarten. We have a few options, and we are still thinking and praying about what will be best for our family. <br />

He is actually 5 months old today, and I had written his 4 month post earlier, but couldn't remember his stats so I've been waiting until I could record those accurately to post. He did great at his check-up, and he is right on track in growth. <br />

At four months, Graham:</div>
<ul style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">weighs 14 pounds, 2ounces and is 24 and 1/4inches long</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">wears 3-6 months clothes, has moved up to a size 2 diaper, and wears a size 1 shoes when he wears them. Amelia never left the house, even as a newborn, without a matching bow and shoes. Graham usually only wears shoes to church on Sundays, ha. Difference in a boy and a girl, I suppose. And I guess him being little in the summer makes a difference too. </li>
<li>has regressed on his good sleeping this month, ugh! He is in a horrible habit of waking up at least twice in the night. I have been nursing him and he goes right back to sleep, but I really don't think he's hungry. I'm not really a "cry it out" mama, but I've got to do something different soon. Mama needs her rest! I also think it's time to move him to his crib in his room, so I might as well just suck it up and do it. It's so hard not getting enough sleep and having to get up for work at 6 :(. We need to establish some new, good sleep habits, STAT.</li>
<li>is teething something fierce (this could be a reason for his waking up in the night). He drools and chews constantly, but no sign of a tooth yet. </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">started eating rice cereal around July 25th. He wasn't a fan at first, but he's doing better every time. He started eating baby food the week of July 30th and really started liking it just before turning 5 months old.</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">has started reaching for his toys on his carseat and playmat, and loves to chew on them. That's his first big milestone, I guess, and it's so precious to watch him figure out that he can now grasp things and get them in his mouth.</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">still loves his paci and lovie for sleep time. </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">is not really a fan of the swing anymore, but still likes the bouncer, and has started spending some time in the Bumbo and exersaucer.</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">still smiles ALL THE TIME, and is giggling more frequently too. Last night I had him going with my rendition of the theme song from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." Whatever it takes, y'all. </li>
<li>STILL hasn't started rolling over, and doesn't even seem to want to. I'm OK with that. When he does try, he can get almost over, but not quite. I have a feeling he will do it as soon as he starts daycare. That's what happened with Mimi, but she was only 12 weeks old. </li>

Graham is so laid back and happy, whereas his sister was a little high maintenance. Now she's pretty laid back and aggreable, so I'm not sure what that means about how G will be when he gets older. His personality is showing more each month, and he brings so much joy to our family. Amelia has become very protective of her brother and gets very concerned if someone she isn't comfortable with is holding him. She won't take her eyes off of him for a second. I'm very thankful for my special helper, even if she wants to help a little too much sometimes! These months are just flying by. Five month post coming soon!</div>

This year we were joined by my sister and her family and Katie. With a 4 month old and an 11 month old baby, we weren't sure how our days would go. I figured that I would be spending a good bit of time inside with G while everyone else had fun, and I was OK with that. Just getting to have a week off work and be at the beach spending time with my family was enough for me. I was pleasantly surprised that the weather wasn't too hot and Graham actually enjoyed being outside at the beach and took nice naps out there every day, giving me some time to play with Mimi and to get a little sun and relaxation. PTL!<br />
<br />
We stayed in a townhouse in the Santa Rosa Beach community of Dune Allen. It is on our beloved Hwy 30A, close to the Seaside/Seagrove area that we usually stay in. We absolutely loved where we stayed! The place was right on the beach, which made it easy for us to just walk out and in whenever we wanted. Plus I loved sitting on the screen porch and our bedroom balcony looking out at the ocean. We will definitely stay there again if we have the opportunity next year. <br />
<br />
Now for some pics...<br />

We are SO blessed to have such a fab photographer in the family to help us capture our memories. I'm sure you can pick out Katie's pics that I stole mixed in with all of mine. One bummer in our week was a whole bunch of seawood washed onshore our first day. It hung around the entire week we were there. The water was still clear, but I was not a fan of having to walk over it to get to the water and it was not welcome in my photos, ha. I had planned for a fabulous family photo session with Katie, but I waited all week for the seaweed to clear out, and then it never did. We got those shots above in Seaside on our last night there and it was super windy and a little drizzly, so those were the best we got. Even with a little rain and some seaweed, we had a great trip, and I'm so thankful that we had the opportunity to go on vacation. Cliff and I are already planning a little weekend getaway for the two of us in September and I can't wait. I love the beach!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859002710525375536noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979982730890764331.post-11171431923347073432012-07-23T10:30:00.001-07:002012-07-23T10:30:11.901-07:00Graham at three monthsI guess I'll go ahead and get over myself after losing all my photos. Nothing I can do about it, so I might as well keep on posting. I wrote this post when G was three months, but hadn't gotten around to adding photos and posting until now. <br />

At 3 months, Graham:<br />
<ul>
<li>can still wear a few 0-3 months clothes, but is mostly in 3-6 months, and even some 6 months and 6-9 months footie PJs since his feet are so big, ha. We're not sure what he weighs since he hasn't been to the dr since his 2-month check up, but I'm guessing it's close to 14 pounds. He has really grown a lot lately</li>
<li>wears a size 1 diaper, but could probably move up to a 2 soon since the weight limits overlap on those sizes</li>
<li>smiles and coos all the time! He is the sweetest, happiest baby! He really only cries when he is hungry or when his tummy is hurting. </li>
<li>laughed out loud for the first time last week. We haven't heard a really good one since then, but he does have little giggles here and there when he's really happy. He's happiest in the morning, but he really smiles and coos all day every day. He is so sweet!</li>
<li>kicks his legs all the time and holds them in the air</li>
<li>has discovered how to get his fists in his mouth and will go for it any time his paci comes out. I sort of think he is teething already since he is drooling and gnawing on his hands all the time. </li>
<li>is still sleeping great! He goes to bed at around 7:30 and sleeps until 5 or 6, then eats and goes back to sleep for a while. He is still sleeping in the bassinet, and I'm afraid to switch to the crib since it's going so great, but I think we'll probably have to do that in the next month or two. Just like sister, he likes to have his paci in his mouth and his lovie by his face when he sleeps. </li>
<li>adores his sister! He has really started recognizing our faces this month, and he lights up when he sees me or Amelia. He loves his daddy too, of course, but he really digs the girls right now. He follows sister with his eyes, and she just dotes on him. It's pretty precious. </li>
<li>hasn't started trying to roll over yet. Amelia was rolling over at this point, but I'm not worried. He doesn't get a lot of tummy time due to his reflux, but I probably need to implement that more often. I'm so much more laid back about his milestones than with her. He'll roll when he's ready, and I'm not rushing it. </li>
<li>started drinking several bottles every day this month since I went back to work when he was 12 weeks old. Today, at 15 weeks old, he had his first taste of formula. I didn't want to have to do it, but I've been pumping at work, and even with pumping twice a day, just haven't been able to keep up with his greedy self! We've gone through a lot of my frozen breast milk, so I decided we needed to supplement with formula a little while he is at the sitter's. I still hope to continue nursing him in the morning and at night as long as I can. He doesn't like the formula right now, but he tolerates it mixed with breast milk. We'll see how he does with it over the next few days. </li>
</ul>

Graham's personality is starting to come through more and more, and he is just the sweetest thing! He loves to be talked to and especially sung to. He smiles and coos and tries to sing along. Here's a video I got of Amelia singing to him in her "baby voice."<br />

Have you ever seen anything more precious? I'm so thankful for my sweet babies!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859002710525375536noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979982730890764331.post-36824009328561289542012-06-14T05:46:00.002-07:002012-06-14T05:46:49.128-07:00LostI am heartbroken. I have lost every photo that has ever been on my blog since 2008! That's why you see the black boxes where photos should be. For some reason, all 600 of my blog photos were suddenly stored on my Samsung Galaxy taking up all of the photo space. I knew that I had them on my blog too and wouldn't need them so I deleted them. Now they have disappeared from my blog, and I am pretty sure they are gone forever! This has something to do with Google, Gmail being on my phone and Picasa Web Albums all being synched, but I am too tech-un-savvy to understand it all. I have most of the photos backed up in one place or another, but it would take me weeks to go back and find them and put them back into my blog posts. I am so upset! Just thought I'd update so the four people who read my blog would know why there are no more photos.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859002710525375536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979982730890764331.post-33951404364309290202012-06-13T12:37:00.003-07:002012-06-13T12:44:05.305-07:00Mimi-isms<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="left">
Amelia is really in such a sweet stage this days. Gone are the strong-willed tatrums that I thought were going to be the death of me a year and a half ago. She has grown into a very sweet, polite and obedient child (Most of the time.) I can't brag as if this is due to my superb parenting. I think it's just her nature. Although we did have ourselves quite a season of disciplining during that time. She is such a little pleaser. She loves to be praised and to make us proud of her. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
She is also more hilarious than ever these days. I have so many things that we've laughed at that she has said or done and I've thought, I need to blog that so I won't forget it. But sure enough, I forget it. Here are just a few of her Mimi-isms from lately:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I shouldn't brought my sunglasses." (I should have brought my sunglasses.)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Tavle, Bath tuv, Mrs. Devvie... (table, bath tub, Mrs. Debbie. She substitutes some of her b's for v's. I love it so much, I can't bear to correct her. )</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I drinked all my water just like you, Mama!"</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I'm actually not very hungry." </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I have very important work to do." (This usually consists of making a huge mess with colors and/or stickers. So really, it's just giving me more important work to do. But funny nonetheless.)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I want to watch Max and Ruvy (Ruby) at their house." For some reason she calls the show this as if it's the name of the show. I guess she prefers the episodes of them at their house over the "on-location"episodes.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
calls Ruvy's friend Louise "Baweeze."</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"Bless your sweet heart," to her doll, Annalee when she fell off the couch.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"Mama, can I have a sister next time? I want to name her Eloise." (Um, next time? Sorry, sister.)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"What are we going to do with this baby?" (said in frustration when G is crying hysterically)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"If SOMEONE would get their CHILD off their boob, they could come dance with me." (This was said in a sassy tone when she wanted me to have a dance party with her while I was nursing brother. LHM.)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"My mama says..." This is a common phrase that she uses with people other than me and Cliff, supposedly to add credibility to whatever she is about to say. It may or may not be followed by something I've actually said. When spending the night with my parents recently, after a very full and exhausting day of fishing and playing at the creek, my mama dozed off on the couch. Amelia told her, "Grammy! My mama says this is a playdate, NOT a sleepover!" </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I catched a fish!"</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"I love you to the moon and back...I love you thiiiissss much (stretches arms out)....I love you more than Mama!" (This is her little game she plays with whoever is putting her to bed at the time. She is trying to prompt the other parent to tickle her and force her to say she loves us the best. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
"Thank you, God for my brother. Please help me to be the best big sister I can be." (Melt. My. Heart. She didn't come up with this all on her own. She got it from me praying and thanking God for my children and praying to be the best mama I can be.)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
She also "reads" books all the time and loves nothing more than to be read to. She often talks like her fairytales. For example, she'll often say we "shall" do this or that, or use phrases like "Oh dear," and "Oh my." When reading her books, she will quote whatever the character is saying and then say, "she replied," or "he gasped.." </div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This girl cracks us up!</div>

Since Graham will be three months on Friday, I guess I am technically not too late to share his two month post. At two months, Graham:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>weighed 12 lbs, 3 ounces and was 23 and 1/2 inches long (just a little bigger than sister was at this age)</li>
<li>really started smiling and cooing all the time this month. He is such a friendly and sweet baby!</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">still loves being on the changing table and taking a bath</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">started kicking his feet and holding them in the air a lot</li>
<li>has found his thumb and likes to suck it when his paci comes out</li>
<li>wears size 1 diapers and 0-3 months clothes. Newborn clothes are too little now! :(</li>
<li>still nursing great and takes a bottle well in the church nursery. Takes about 4-5 ounces at a time (well he did at this age. He's eating a lot more now that he's almost 3 months!)</li>
<li>started wanting to be put down more than be held, exactly the opposite of sister at this age! He likes to be put down in his swing or bassinet with his paci and lovie next to his face and he likes to have music on. Usually he goes right to sleep this way and will sleep from around 8 p.m. to 5:30 or 6 a.m.</li>
<li>starting playing on the floor more and enjoys looking around wherever he is, or staring at the toys in his carseat</li>
<li>LOVES riding in the car. Can I get a PTL for this?! Amelia cried all the time in her carseat. But Graham falls right to sleep every time we get in the car. The key is to keep moving. He doesn't love when we stop at redlights or in a drive-thru.</li>
<li>likes to be carried around in a sling like a little kangaroo</li>
</ul>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Overall, Graham is a sweet and easygoing baby. He is pretty content to go along with whatever we have going on with sister. His biggest problem is gas. He gets really uncomfortable sometimes and spits up a ton. We have a prescription that has helped with the reflux, but the gas is still an issue. Gas drops are our friend! This month Graham went on his first roadtrip and traveled to Ft. Rucker, Alabama to visit cousin Jackson and Aunt Mare and Uncle Justin. He was perfect in the car and seemed to enjoy a change of scenery. He even got to go to the beach for the first time! He did OK, but we learned that he doesn't like to be hot. This was a good practice run for when we go back in July for our real vacation. <br />
<br />
To compare, here he is beside a pic of Mimi at the same age. I don't think they look alike at all!</div>
