Hey Graham fans! What a summer! At the beginning it looked like Caroline was going to spoil all of my fun this summer, but fortunately I have still gotten to do some fun things! I don't get to update the blog as much with all the summer fun and being a big brother. I will try to catch you up on my activities.
Not sure if I mentioned earlier that Mommy and I went to story time at the library. It is fun because after the stories, there are a bunch of toys to play with. That was our only scheduled activity. I have discovered this really great show - it is Dora the Explorer. There is this monkey on there called Boots - he is so fun to watch. I don't think he gets enough coverage on the show. If you haven't seen it, you should watch it. I still like Elmo and Sesame Street, but Dora has more plot to it.
Let's see what else has been going on... Well Nanny visited. We played and I did my best to entertain her. I think it must have worked. She had to oohh and aahh over Caroline too. I guess sister is kind of cute so that is understandable. Daddy and I took her to a park so I could show her how agile I am. She was definitely impressed.
Caroline I think mentioned that we went to Grandma's while Daddy went to a wedding without us. We definitely had a good time at Grandma's. She has a mowie (translation from Mom - mower/lawn tractor). She took me for several rides and let me steer. Grandma has a really big yard so she really needed my help. I bet she hasn't gotten it all mowed since I was there. 
Aunt Deb and family came to visit also. Sam and Kayla played with me, chased me around. It was a good time. Grandma must be really religious. She has all these little water holders around the yard like at church. I thought I was supposed to bless myself with all of them. Boy was I holy when I left! (Translation from Mom - Grandma has a couple of bird baths.)

We got our pictures taken a few weeks back. I had no interest in smiling. They tricked me into playing catch with the football, but I still didn't smile too much. When Mommy can take such cute pictures like the one below, I don't know why some stranger needs to do it!
Daddy and I went to the I Cubs again with Jeff and Andrew Johannsen. We had a good time. I ate a hot dog and chased Cubby Bear all over!
Well the biggest event of the summer has been my birthday! Daddy took the day off. We went to a park with a wading pool in the morning and then for dinner we went to Incredible's Pizza Company. It was really the games I liked versus the pizza - who cares about food when there is fun to be had! Uncle Brad, Aunt Lisa, and Benjamin came over later. Benjamin and I played - I had to show him how to drive my tractor. On Saturday, Grandma showed up, then Grandpa, and Uncle Brad, Aunt Lisa, and Benjamin were back. Nanny and Nan were next and finally Uncle Greg. My first gift came in a big box and it took Grandpa and Daddy awhile to put it together. I helped supervise.
We had lunch or should I say everyone else had lunch. After they all ate, we had CAKE!! Big Bird and Elmo were on my cake to go with my Elmo themed party. We had ice cream too!
Then we opened my presents!
I really like my presents and have been playing with them all. I like to play with my new tractors on my new table and on the dining room table. 
I really like to sit in my new chair and watch my new DVD's. I think Mommy posted a picture of me holding Bebe while I was sitting in my new chair. It was a really good birthday!
That is all for now. I already have more to post, but not enough time to tell you about it!
Mommy didn't get a picture of me actually rolling over, but take my word for it, I got the job done! 
Life still is a lot about sleeping. I moved into my crib a few weeks back. I tend to scoot around especially if I can break out of my swaddle. Mom is so proud of me for being a good sleeper so far. I can sleep 6-7 hours straight many nights, give or take. Gosh I don't know if Graham ever sleeps that long! 
Hard to believe I have been around over 14 weeks! I am getting so old! Until next time!
In his two years, Graham is definitely trying to get the most out of life! He continues to be very active and adventurous. He runs fast, throws well and likes to jump off the furniture. Two words that describe him well are 'all boy'! He is in touch with his feminine side however - he likes to dry his hair like Mommy, will put on make-up, loves to vacuum and likes to play with the seasonings. He will even taste his concoctions - not sure how he doesn't grimace, but he doesn't.
