9 months

here's our big baby at 9 months.  he is rolling all over the place, tries to crawl constantly, has 2 little teeth, and loves his paci!  we have started trying to give him some finger foods and even thought he loves to eat, he is still struggling with that concept.  Graham has started clapping his hands and can pull himself to a sitting position from laying down which has made for some LONG naptimes.  

He weighs 24 1/2 lbs (93%)

He is 29 1/2 inches long (86%) 

and his head is 47cm around (91%)

love this blonde baby!

8 months

ummm, would you look at those thighs? how much chunkier could he be? and how much more adorable too? this baby is quite the looker....he attracts so much attention when we are out. blonde hair, blue eyes, built like a football player, and super smiley. we love him.

graham has also started being super vocal. noises that sound super similar to "mama" and "dada" are followed by yelling, laughing, and anything in between. he still loves to watch his big brother play and is enjoying his jumper too. he can scoot on his bottom while sitting up to move a good couple of feet and he likes us to clap, sing, and 'dance' with him. he's rolling over alot now but no crawling or even attempts yet. still waiting for those teeth to pop through too. 'grizzle' is such a sweet and happy baby.

camping, camping outside

(must sing this in your best bubble guppies voice in order to truly appreciate it!)

another super fun tradition for the spring, camping with ana and papaw.

(max took this one, not bad uh?!?)

we did lots of camping stuff and lots of relaxing. graham loved being outside. max really got into riding his bike (and was doing really well). i got to eat tons of smores. and joey skipped showering for a few days. a great little trip for our family!

let's go rangers....let's go!

max will still randomly start up the chant, but it makes me happy that he had such a fun time at the game. and as you can see from this huge smile, graham did too.

the game is becoming one of my all time favorite spring traditions

easter

we had a fun easter weekend. saturday, we went to an easter egg drop. the easter bunny flies in a helicopter and drops off the eggs for kids to pick up. high class i know!

(the pics from that are on joey's phone so....)

then sunday, we had a great church service followed by lunch at our new house with my family and joey's parents and grammy.

since it was raining we did our egg hunt inside and max got a few eggs. he is a funny hunter. he is way more excited about what color the egg is or what's inside then finding more eggs so we had to keep directing him back to the hunting, not the opening.

max was also a big fan of the blue peeps that my mom put in his easter basket. if we would of let him, i think he would of eaten the whole package!

graham enjoyed his first easter too. he loved having new stuff to try to shove in his mouth.

it was fun this year too to really talk with max about what easter means and even though he is still young, it's great to see how God is already a part of his little life
