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.

you are such a darling mum and graham is pretty handsome. isn't it crazy how much they learn in such a short time? enjoy it!
So adorable Eve! I loved reading all about little Graham. Has it really been 3 months? That has gone by WAY to fast. I'll be calling you soon to chat!:)
oh my gosh i love this. you have so many cute posts that will be so fun to look back on. remember how much i loved your post about him being born late? i didn't have to steal it because i was induced but i might steal this one. so many thoughts - funny that matt says he has your personality traits, can't wait to hear him say ga, he IS such a smily baby! love that, i am dying to see him rub his eyes - practice that before i come, love that he did a star pose, and funny that you put lotion all over his body after baths like you do for yourself. so cute (the post not your lotion regime). can't wait to see him in 16 days! happy 3 months graham!
this is amazing. you will love looking back on this! he is such a dreamboat! that smile is the most adorable thing in the world. love his bendy back too! i hope he never grows out of it. wait, maybe he should or else he'll have to be a dancer and put it to good use! i'm sure matt would love that :) need my graham fix pronto!
he is adorable! i am so happy for your cute little family.
He is so cute! How fun, you are making me so jealous! I love that little guy and want to meet him. When are we going to do lunch? I miss you.
I love this post. I love that each of the statements makes total sense to me because I know him so well. I'm so glad you have lived with us during his early babyhood. He is a dream!
SO CUTE!! How fun to look back on this and remember him so well at 3 months. I can't believe how much he looks like you. Your exact lips it's great.
