Happy 3 Months, Graham! You certainly keep us happy and entertained around here. Some frequents/favorite things/facts of your life so far include:
-smiling at everyone you see, especially mom and dad.
-only pooping about once a week. when you finally do, watch out.
-your favorite book to look at is Olivia. I think that's a girl book buddy. we'll work on that.
-baby einstein always makes you and mom happy. she can finally leave your side.
-you've slept through the night once, which was heavenly for everyone. most cute moms talk about waking up every couple hours and checking on their baby to make sure they are breathing the first time they sleep longer than normal. you have the worst mom in the world. I didn't wake up once and when I did discover you'd slept through the night I made your dad go check on you. I didn't want to ruin a good thing. feel free to repeat that at any time.
-you take a short nap in the morning and a very long one in the afternoon. although it isn't at any particular time, I tell people you're on a schedule to make myself feel like an accomplished mom.
-speaking of sleeping, you are always in the weirdest position. your head is seriously almost touching your back from the intense back-bend you've got going on. you also love to stretch after a long nap or sleep.
-you always have a stuffy nose in the morning but never throughout the day. don't worry, it is mom's obsession to clean out your nose.
-you've been told you have red hair and get called chubby a lot. in reality you're very tall for your age (90% for height) and average for weight (50%). you must carry it all in your belly, chin, and cheeks. you also have a small head. you get that from your dad.
-you don't do the star pose anymore when we're changing your clothes. mom misses it. it was her favorite thing. now her favorite thing is when you rub your eyes when you're tired. it's the cutest.
-you have beautiful blue eyes that get brighter and brighter each day. you also have a dimple on your right cheek.
-you've always had a strong head. now we're working on rolling over (you occasionally roll from tummy to back, and once from back to tummy.) and sitting.
- you like baths, having lotion put on after baths, blinds, sucking on your hands, grabbing at toys, the animal cards aunt maddie gave you, walks (sometimes), watching tv, and standing. in fact, I can barely ever get you to sit down.
-you talk all day long. the first real sound you've mastered is "ga". very appropriate since your name starts with a G.
-you don't laugh much. when you do it's just a single little chuckle. it gets mom and dad laughing every time.
-you looked exactly like mom at first. now you are looking more and more like your dad everyday. I'm not complaining about that. he's very handsome.
-everyone loves you and stops to look at you wherever you go. you frequently get told you are the most smiley and outgoing baby they've ever seen. you also get that from dad. well, maybe not the smiley part...but definitely the outgoing part.
-your dad seems to think you to have some personality traits from me, such as being kind of quiet and observant. mom had to remind dad that you don't talk yet. he sheepishly retracted that comment. in his defense, you are very even tempered and calm.
-you love cuddling and receiving kisses. I adore that.
-we love seeing your personality come out more and more everyday. we can already tell you'll be a hoot. we love love love you. Happy 3 months bug.
Sorry to all readers, this is purely for documentation. :)
The unofficial theme this Easter was books, books, and more books. Graham got two wonderful ones from his grandparents:
I LOVE this book and would read it every year around Easter time when I was little. How fabulous is that cover? The pictures are amazing. Thank you grandma Pat!
He also got this from grandma Lloyd. Yes, that is Graham's face. Hilarious. He'll love this.
