Graham is 1 Year Old!!

I posted his birth story...it's a few posts below (lots going on lately). It should have published today, because I wrote it yesterday but published it today. Oh well, silly Blogger.

Anyway, I just can't say enough about our little Graham. As a 1-year old, here's what's up with him:

-He is standing without holding on to anything! He'll stand for several seconds, all beaming and proud of himself, but no steps yet!

-He's become a bit of a picky eater. Will literally hold food in his mouth for up to half hour so I can't give him another bite. LOVES avacado, cheerios, grilled cheese sandwiches, chocolate (bad idea to let him ever taste it), mac 'n cheese, bananas, goldfish, yogurt, and sometimes peas. It's hard to get him to eat fruit and veggies, therefore, he's been a little constipated. He also has begun having some whole milk, and is accepting the bottle pretty well. But much prefers me, of course :)

-Says 'ball' in reference to the ball, and 'mama' to me when he's sleepy and wants to be put to bed. Also dada, but not necessarily to Behn yet. He also makes other sounds, but those are the main ones.

-Is into size 18 month clothes. 12 month stuff is a little too short on the sleeves and legs because he's so long and lean.

-Weighs in at 20 lbs, 13 oz.

-Is a tease! Very silly. He shakes his head and giggles, plays peek-a-boo with me, Behn, or even Frankie, and loves to be chased.

- Is able to sit through a short book and pay attention now, even if he's just looking at the pictures.

-Is a little 'stranger shy' but warms up to people fairly quickly. Mom and Dad T were here over the weekend and he sure did love on them :)

-Must have his blue blanket for sleeping. So cute.

-A little blondie, just like Behn and I were as kids.

That's a pretty good summary. There's much more to him, of course, but those are highlights. He is precious, and we love him so much, never taking him for granted.

Thank You, Lord, for Graham. He is Yours!
