How in the world can my baby boy be one already?! This little man is just the sweetest thing ever! I know I have said it a million times, but Graham has the cutest personality. He is just a ball of energy and is on the go 24/7. I am guessing he is around 23 lbs and 30 inches tall. We go for his 1 year visit on the 13th so I will try to remember to update his stats. Unfortunately, Graham had his first ear infection earlier this month and along with it came snotty nose and slight cough. At the doctor's office he weighed 22.7, so we will see how much he has grown in a couple of weeks.
Graham LOVES to eat! He will eat anything you put in front of him and it is impossible to eat in front of him without him going crazy for what we have. He is still drinking 5, 5oz bottles a day and 99% of the time now he sucks them down without any problem. Graham typically has yogurt for breakfast when he is home and at school he eats whatever the big kids are eating now for all of the meals. Some of his favorite foods are turkey lunch meat, green beans and he loves all fruit. He also loves chicken and even had his first taste of Chick-fil-a this month. I am sure I will be buying him a 4 piece kids meal the next time we are there. Graham has tried juice and milk. He didn't really like juice, which we kind of did this on purpose because Reed was addicted to juice by one and still his. We have to force him to drink water and Graham loves water and has it with every meal. We think it is so cute to watch him eat and eat and eat and then stop to take a drink like a big kid already. When he tried milk it didn't really phase him, so hopefully it will be a smooth transition off formula.
Graham still doesn't really have a favorite toy or a favorite item. He does LOVE his paci and I scared to death to take it away. His favorites right now are getting into the cabinets and Gracie's dog bowl. He loves Gracie and besides Ma-Ma and Da-da, doggy was his first word. He even understands, "Where is the doggy?" He drives her crazy laying on her and pulling on her tail and ears, but she puts up with him and secretly I know she loves the attention. He also loves playing with the big storage containers we keep Gracie's food in and last weekend he even got to the scoop in the container and carried food to Gracie's bowl and dumped it. He is really starting to mimic what we do. Another funny thing he did was after he was watching me console Reed after he got hurt, Graham walked up and started patting and rubbing him on the back like I was doing.
Graham is sleeping much better. We had a little rough period when he was sick, but other than that week we have had almost all 11 hour nights. Graham usually goes to bed around 7:30 to 8 and wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30. He is starting to prefer to be rocked facing out instead of cuddling into your chest (yes he is still rocked to sleep at night and all naps when he is home). He still prefers to sleep on his stomach though. Graham is still mostly taking 2 naps when he is home and one long nap at school, usually at least 2 hours. At school he is so exhausted I think they just lay him down and pat his back to go to sleep. We know they pat his back because we have learned that if he wakes up sometimes we can just pat him back to sleep.
Well, walking is old news for Graham, in fact I almost for got to mention it because he is basically up to running any where he wants to go. He also loves to dance. I have some of the cutest videos of him bouncing to the music. Graham's 5th tooth, on the top left just broke through last week and the one on the right side is so close. Two more on the bottom are also very close. Just in the last couple of days his teeth really seem to be bothering him.
Graham is wearing all 12 month clothes, size 4 diaper and size 4 or 5 shoe. Graham had his 5th haircut this month and sat in the chair all by himself. Graham adores his big brother and Reed loves him maybe even more. Reed tells me all the time, "I love my baby brother!" Melts my heart! He also says, "He's so cuuttee!" It really is the sweetest thing. It is so fun to see them play together and make each other laugh. Graham still loves bath time and has even laid on his stomach and put his face in the water a couple of times and the splashing can get out of control sometimes.
Graham is definitely all boy! These pictures were almost impossible because he can move so fast! I am just overwhelmed with how fast this year as flown by. We have been so blessed with such a happy, healthy baby boy and I thanked God for him every single day!
All 12 months of Graham!
Reed & Graham both at one year! I just can't believe these 2 precious boys are mine! So different and adorable in their own ways!
