Smiley guy











Graham's smiles keep melting Mom and Dad's hearts! Here are some recent pictures showing off his happy face. His upside down smile can be kind of funny sometimes too - as long as it is short-lived. ;) He also likes to kick his legs in the air. Graham is getting stronger all the time. He now lifts his head high and props himself up on his elbows during tummy time. Mommy and Daddy visited some friends that had a baby on Friday - we just couldn't believe that Graham was that small just 2 1/2 months ago. By now he is probably 12.5 lbs - maybe more. There is so much more to him when you pick him up - still lots of fun to snuggle! If he is wide awake he isn't much on snuggling, he wants to be able to see what is going on in the world!

Two months old!













Today Graham is 2 months old. He is changing so much. He had his 2 month check-up today. He is 23 3/4 inches long putting him in the 80 percentile. He weighed 11 lbs 2 oz. It was a big weekend for the little guy. Saturday morning we participated in the Walk to D'Feet ALS. It meant a lot to Mom to have Graham Dennis walking in memory of Grandpa Dennis. Graham's baptism was Sunday so all the grandparents, aunts and uncles, great grandparents and cousins gathered for the special occasion. Graham did quite well. He was willing to show his cute little smile to everyone. He made Mom and Dad proud - sleeping through church and most of his baptism. Once his head was wet, he wasn't happy. I guess with all of his hair, he just doesn't like to get it messed up!




As you can see from the picture he likes the Baby Bjorn. Sometimes when he is trying to go to sleep, it helps him to relax. Friends from Chicago (the Lapp's) sent us a CD with instrumental music of Beattle's songs. Mommy will dance around the living room with Graham in the Baby Bjorn listening to the CD. So far it is Graham's favorite. He has also responded positively to Barry Manilow! ;)
