Sorry for the backtracking, but for my own sanity I need to go back and catch up, bear with me! April has been a very busy month with Reed's birthday and Easter falling in the same weekend this year and his birthday party the next weekend. With everything going on, I bought stuff to dye eggs but unfortunately we never had a chance this year. I was very grateful Gigi stepped in and offered to dye eggs with Reed. So while I was getting ready for Reed's family birthday party after going to the church Easter Egg hunt, Gigi and Reed dyed eggs! I snapped a couple of pictures but not has many as I should have. Reed was much more interested this year than he was last year!
He is still our little guy, but he is getting stronger and happier every day! This morning both boys slept in until after 8 am. So while Reed was having his morning milk and cartoon time I decided to take Graham's pictures. I put him over in the chair and started snapping. Then I started looking back through them and realized his hair was a mess! I am so use to it I didn't even notice! :) 
This is the usual with Graham right now....crazy hair and drooling every where! It took me forever to get him to put his hands down out of his mouth too.
I tried to brush the hair....I personally like the crazy hair! :) Josh wants me to cut it on the sides so bad and I refuse. He has lost SO much, I don't want to cut what he has left.
Graham is finally almost completely in all 3-6 month cloths and still wearing a size 2 diaper. We go for his 4 month check-up in a couple of weeks, but a couple of weeks ago when we went to the doctor Graham weighed 13 lbs 9 ozs, which according to an app I have on my phone is the 39th percentile and at 2 months he was 40th percentile. So it looks like he is growing well! 
Graham is talking more and more every day and has the best giggle when we can get it out of him. Usually it requires a little tickling! He has also started giving big, slobbery kisses!
We got the jumperoo out of the attic this month and he can't quite touch the ground, but with the help of a pillow he can easily get it moving and loves looking at all of the lights and toys on it. He plays on the playmat a lot too and just in the last couple of days has been turning in a complete circle on it. He is in constant motion when he is awake. Graham seems to be days away from rolling over. He is so close! Reed didn't roll over either direction until 5 months, so this much moving already is new for us. My prediction is that Graham will be an early crawler. With him sleeping on his stomach, he now moves from one end of the bed to the other in a matter of minutes. He kicks his legs and almost hops across the bed. 
Graham is still not the best sleeper! He was consistently going 7 hours between feedings at night and waking only once between for his paci, right at the 4 hour mark every night. Then he got sick and honestly I can't even explain the last couple of weeks. It has been totally different every night some good and some really bad. However, the big news is we started cereal 2 nights ago and although the first night it seemed to upset his stomach the last two nights have been great! He has gone around 7 hours before making a peep both nights! Huge improvement and I am praying it continues. 
Minus his sleeping habits, Graham continues to be a very happy, laid back baby. He takes great naps during the day and his such an easy baby all day long. Lately he has been taking 3 naps, 1 to 2 hours each and even longer sometimes. When he is tired he just fusses a little bit and you can either lay him in his crib and he will normally get himself to sleep or lay him on your chest and he will go right to sleep. Graham is the snuggliest little guy I have ever seen. He is happiest curled up against you.
This morning I knew I needed to go into work for a little while so after Graham's morning nap and after he had eaten I decided to take his pictures before we headed out. I always hope for the perfect picture and biggest smiles, but Graham just really wasn't into the photo shoot. Most of the pictures were like this one. Adorable, yes, but I knew he had some bigger smiles in him.
Graham is getting more and more vocal every day and has even laughed a few times. He is so ticklish and this is usually what gets him to laugh.
He really is happy 95% of the day! The only time he is fussy is when he is hungry and he is drama when he wants to eat. He has the highest, high pitch scream! :) He is also no longer burping in the middle of eating and if I try to burp him, he freaks out and the scream begins. Josh and I just laugh at him because the face he makes is priceless, like the world is coming to an end and he hasn't eaten in months. 
He has started rolling over to his side and a couple of times all the way over. He did it for the first time 2/23/12. He had woken up in the middle of a nap and wanted his pacifier back and he got worked up enough that he turned over. 
Lately, Graham has been sleeping right at 7 hours at night. He goes down between 8 and 9 and I am normally up with him between 3:30 and 4:30. A few nights he has gone longer, I think our longest stretch has been 9 1/2. However, every night we are up at least once putting the pacifier in, usually around 4 hours after he goes down. I know this phase won't last forever, so I am not stressing over it. He usually wakes up again between 6 and 7 to eat again. He normally takes a good morning nap before eating again around 11 or 12. He is still taking great naps, just not really on a schedule. Every day is still pretty different. But he normally eats every 3 hours. 
Up until last weekend, Graham really hadn't had any periods of cluster feeding, but this weekend he wanted to eat every 2 hours during the day and was sleeping a lot. I think we may be going through a little growth spurt. 
Graham has really started watching Reed. If he sees him across the room, he will just start smiling! Reed loves him too and always wants to be as close as possible. They really are so sweet together already! He has also found Gracie and loves to smile and follow her too. He definitely knows his family, we all get the biggest smiles out of him!
He has started losing his hair! :( So sad! I kind of knew it was going happen, but I hoping it might not. It hung on a little longer than Reed's did and he still has quite a bit. Hopefully he won't lose all the back hair and keep the hair on top, he might look a little funny! Ha!
Starting to wear more 3 to 6 month clothes, but he can still easily fit into 0-3. He is wearing size 2 diapers. His favorite time of day is still bath time! He is in constant motion most of the day kicking his legs and moving his arms, but when he gets in his bath he goes into overdrive kicking, smiling and talking! 
We are so blessed by this little guy!
Reed got an adorable chocolate tool set!
And more suckers!
Graham was happy about his new alligator!
