Fun With Daddy

Graham loves to play with his Daddy! Although sometimes Daddy can drive me crazy by doing things that I consider slightly dangerous, most of the time I try to turn a blind eye! Graham sure does love it!

Best Buds

Last night night Graham's friend Mr. Jaxon Rich came over to play. It was adorable, they followed each other around as they played. Graham tends to get a little territorial about his toys =) but they still had fun!

Such a big boy!

Baby food is one stage of Graham's development that I will not be sad to see go! He really likes feeding himself, and I really like it too! (He still eats baby food too).

Graham loves his daddy!

Iced In

Today will be the 3rd day that the 3 of us are iced in the house together. The ice on the streets has not had a chance to melt because the temperatures have stayed in the low 20s. It has been wonderful to have Chad home with us! He has been able to work from home. If there wasn't any ice, we would probably all be home anyways because all 3 of us have colds. This is Graham's first cold. It has been kind of distressing to me because apparently there isn't much you can for a baby with a cold. You can give them saline drops, use a bulb syringe and a humidifier - all of which we have done. I guess we'll just be waiting for the cold to run its course and go away. I'm really ready for him to get better! He's had some trouble sleeping because he doesn't feel well. We are really thankful that we have had heat and water during this cold snap. There has been a power shortage here in Texas this week. I am also thankful that I made a big grocery trip on Monday! We haven't had to leave the house, but we are starting to really get some cabin fever. We'll see how much longer we're holed up here in the house, but for today at least we are staying home again. We haven't even gone out to take snow pictures - too sick, too cold. This week makes me think about the Laura Ingalls Wilder book that I love called The Long Winter. A few days stuck inside can seem so long for us. In the book they were stuck inside for months eating and drinking the same thing every day, no contact with the outside world. We really have a lot to be thankful for. God has taken good care of us! I have some fun Graham videos that I will upload soon.

Craft Day

Before I begin let me just say that I just caught G with a piece of dog food in his mouth. It was bound to happen sooner or later! I'm just glad that I found it before he tried to swallow it.

Yesterday I hosted a craft play date at my house for moms with baby boys. We made baby onesies with a tie appliqued on the front. It went great! The crafts turned out very cute and I think everyone had a good time. We had 5 babies and a 2 year old so it was a little crazy but fun! We naturally had a lot to talk about. =) I had fully intended to take pictures while everyone was here, but ended up being so busy that I forgot. I did take a picture of the final product.

Doesn't he look handsome??? I am planning on making at least 1 or 2 more for him. It was so easy! Here's a tutorial on how to make a onesie like this if you're interested: http://www.crapivemade.com/2009/03/appliqued-tie-onesie.html

For some reason I think that people are not able to post comments on my blog. I am trying to figure out how to fix it. Could somebody please try to post a comment so that I can see if I've got it fixed?
