one thing

Graham is such a little booger. He's got one thing on his mind (other than how much he loves his mommy). Walking. Sweet little chubby Evie at this age was wanting nothing to do with mobility. She just wanted to sit and play with whatever toy you gave her. She knew it wasn't a race to get moving, so why not wait? Graham missed that memo. He started crawling before he was 6 months, only to start pulling up on everything. We've had to hide anything that moves b/c he has hit his little mouth on just about everything (what goes up must come down). As soon as he started pulling up, he started letting go and lunging for us too. I just want him to stay a baby a little longer and not be in such a hurry to get moving. He just has a different plan. Here is the position I found him in when I walked in his room today (he's taking a nap...can you tell?). He's also trying to climb out of his crib which scares me to death. I told Greg we need to turn it upside down and put him under it to go to sleep. Get out of that one, Houdini!



And one of Evie just for the fun of it. This was taken while coloring Easter eggs. See the smile on her face...this one was taken before he started taking her eggs.

I don't think

...that this picture needs any explanation!

the flu is evil

Funny how we can put a man on the moon but we can't do squat about the flu virus. Evie had her flu shot this year too, can you tell? This was day 3 of this evil bug. I was doing laundry and noticed the living room had gotten awfully quiet. I went in to find this sweetheart FINALLY resting peacefully. She got maybe an hour of uninterrupted sleep last night. Coughing...crying...coughing...crying. Mostly crying though. I made this bed for her on our couch to keep her goobers off of it. I think despite the p.m. jammies and the wild hair, she still looks pretty sweet.

different people at different times

I think it's so neat how you can see different people in your children at different times. Sometimes when Graham looks a certain way or does a certain thing I think he looks just like Greg. Other times I think he looks like his grandpa (pick one), and other times he looks like his O'Doug. When I looked at this picture I thought it looked just like my brother Jon when he was a baby. He's got a look of mischief in his eyes I think.



And here he looks just like Evie when she was a baby. Or is it Evie? :)


And in this one I'm not sure who he looks like (whoever it is might be offended), but I love these chubby legs.
