Standing and cruising

Hey Graham Fans! It has been awhile since I have posted. Mom has dominated the computer lately. I have to admit I have been busy, like really busy. My FAVORITE thing to do now is to stand. I pull myself up using the couch, the ottoman, my jumperoo, my exersaucer, Mom's leg, my basketball hoop, my Bumbo (I wondered what that thing was for), the coffee table. Hey, speaking of the coffee table, it seems to have disappeared. I stumbled all the way around it and was hoping to do some hot laps this week. I hope someone didn't steal it! Oh, back to all the places I stand I almost forgot - my crib! Mom thinks it is interfering with my naps... I also enjoy pulling on the door stop in my room - I like the noise it makes. I just found the vent in the living room - it is fun to strum, which is practice for when I learn to play the guitar.

I think my mom told you that I was sick. Darn ears. It hasn't interfered with my playing - not at all. I like standing and army crawling too much. We are hoping that the gunk in my ears is going away. Mom thinks that was interfering with my naps too... I have been a little frustrated that mom and dad eat all of their big people food and don't share some of it. Mom will give me graham crackers, small slices of apple, and dill pickle spears. Those pickles are really fun to eat but boy that first bite makes me pucker!

We have been on the go more lately. We have gone to the fish fry at church a few times. Daddy always has an apron on - I haven't figured out why, something about he is cooking at church.Last week I went to my friend's Ethan's house. I sure like his dog - he is even bigger than my dog. We also went to the Haselby's - I think I was the main entertainment, but did hear Dad mention March Madness. Grandma, Uncle Greg, Mom and I went to a lawn and garden show where I road in the stroller until Uncle Greg carried me. He even sat me on a tractor - I tried to get it to move but none of the levers seemed to work, darn it! The break at the library is finally over. There are some new kids so I can make new friends!

Other than that, things have been pretty routine. I like to put lots of things in my mouth including Dad's nose. Dad saw me crawl the more traditional way - briefly. So far the army crawl seems easier. Time will tell if I decide to crawl the other way.

Well, bath time and I don't want to cut short my time playing with the little fishies in my tub!
