Keeping us on our toes!

Graham let Mom have the computer for an update. I know for most things his view is more entertaining than mine and Chris' but he doesn't realize how impressive some of his actions can be. He is becoming more and more entertaining. He is constantly on the go. He plays with his toys some, but is just as likely to be entertained by a non-toy (see spatula pic on the right).

We can't believe how fast Graham is. He will be in a full out toddler run soon - he is almost there already. He can stand from a sitting position without crawling to something to help him pull up. We try to keep him contained in the family room for as long as he can stand it. Once he is loose he is all over the kitchen and living room. He will do hot laps between the kitchen, living room, and entry way. Speaking of the entry way - Thursday night last week, Chris and I were sitting in the living room and Graham was toddling around. I heard something around the corner that sounded like feet or hands on carpet so I rushed to the stairs. Sure enough there he was on the 3rd or 4th step proud as can be. Time for a gate! Until it is up, we really have to stay on our toes. If he is going to climb, someone has to be there to prevent the fall.

Graham is getting smarter all the time. He is giving kisses now. Sometimes they turn into bites! We think he talks to the dog and calls her something that is a combination of dog and God. When she barks, sometimes it sounds like he is giving her heck for barking. Apparently copying what he hears from Mom and Dad! Over the weekend we were in KC visiting the Bagby clan. I was trying to entertain our nephew Benjamin who is 5 1/2 months old now. I was pretending to chomp on his leg while saying yum, yum, yum. Graham went up to Benjamin and tried to do the same thing while saying num, num, num. Monkey see, monkey do! One more reason Chris and I have to stay on our toes!

Well I have to keep it short. I know Graham wants to post an update too. I best not steal his thunder. He will include more pics of all his recent activities.
