Frustrated

I have been to Best Buy twice and I'm going to have to go back. If you have kids you know how difficult this is! Let me back up. I have turned our house upside down looking for the cord that uploads pictures and videos from our camera to no avail. So I broke down and bought a new one at Best Buy. However, they can't seem to provide me with one that works. I'm officially frustrated! Let me just say, I have lot of new pictures and videos I want to show you and I will as soon as I can.

Graham is growing and changing so much! In case you didn't already know, he has completely stopped crawling and become an excellent little walker. He keeps his arms tucked up for balance. He has been teething a lot lately, it seems like all his back teeth are coming in at once! He is still really struggling to communicate, but he is trying to say some words such as bye bye, ball, and juice. He signs the words finished, help, more, and dog. He does not eat nearly as much as he used to, and he's become a lot more picky. He is still a really good sleeper. He takes one long 3-4 hour nap and sleeps 11-12 hours per night. He is busy playing all day long. Now that he can walk he loves to play outside. And let me tell you - he LOVES dogs!

We are just crazy about this little guy!

BIG NEWS!

Graham is saying his first word!!! His first word is....yes! Isn't that unusual? In the last couple of days he has been saying yes to all sorts of questions. I'll try to get him on video soon!

Coming Soon...

Well I sat down to upload some videos and I can't find my camera cord anywhere! So I just wanted to let you know (especially you grandparents who I know are waiting to see new pics/videos) that coming soon you will see a video of Graham "dancing!"

Can you believe he is 16 months old???

Look what he's been up to...

Lately I feel like I'm always one step behind my little guy. I'm always finding new places that he has been "exploring." Like recently I was doing laundry. When I lifted the clothes out of the hamper in Graham's room, this is what I found at the bottom.

Now, I wonder how that got there!

Cooking dinner every afternoon has become a particularly challenging task. Graham is always, literally, "all up in my kitchen!" Here's what the kitchen typically looks like when its all said and done:

These cups are only used for playing with. =) He gets them out several times a day, it's one of his favorite things to do.

Now, take these small instances, times them by about 100, and you'll know what it's like to have a toddler! So fun.
