Graham playing with Dad and Joe

I love how he communicates with us now! He asked Rob to play this game by doing his pointer finger and saying "baba" - so fun!

Proud to be from MI

Today I felt like showing a little MI pride while doing our errands. And it just so happened that I was stopped by a Target employee... actually she listened in on my correction of JoeAnna ("you need to listen to mommy because I want to protect you and keep you safe, if you choose to obey and listen to my voice - you will be able to choose a treat in the check-out line, if you choose to disobey and you do not listen to my voice - you will forfeit your reward and you will not get a treat in the check-out line"). She followed us a ways and then asked if we were really from MI and where; she was from MI too! She encouraged me as a mom saying it was so nice to hear a mom talking to her child that way - that we reminded her of MI just by our example.

Way to go Michiganders! We miss you!

Graham being silly...

Okay so I started to put lotion on Graham today, and he looked so surprised by it - which is when I realized that the poor child barely ever gets lotion on his skin. JoeAnna got "lotioned up" every day! Poor Graham, at least I think maybe he doesn't mind.

Also, I wanted to post this picture for 2 reasons. #1 Can someone tell me, is the faux hawk "so ten minutes ago" or can he still pull it off? And #2, yes he wears clothes everyday! I know the last 3-4 posts have shown him in only a diaper! Ahh!!

Btw, he's crawling...

Graham has been crawling for the past 3 weeks and I forgot to announce it! So sorry. He's been trying to be mobile for so long that I was sure he'd walk instead of learning to crawl, but he gave in and started crawling. You'll see in the video, those of you who remember how JoeAnna crawled, he crawls just like her! They must be related :)

Thanks again Aunt Randi!

Randi, thank you so much for letting us borrow Carter's clothes for Graham! We are so blessed to not have the financial burden of buying all new clothes for him, plus as an awesome bonus - I love the clothes! Often when I see boys clothes I think, "I like the clothes from Carter better anyway!"

So thanks!
