A Busy Weekend!

The past few days have been pretty busy for us! And, because Graham has decided to sleep though the night for the past two nights (THANK YOU GOD!!!!) we've actually had the energy to keep moving! Friday night we ventured out for pizza with Grandpa Greer. Admittedly, I was nervous about how Graham would do at a busy restaurant at dinner time, but in the end, my nervousness was for nothing. Graham did a great job and from now on the only thing I need to be nervous about is the waiter who thinks it's a good idea to put a steaming hot pizza on the table next to a baby. Luckily, Jeff is still faster than Graham, and was able to move the pizza to safer grounds!

Yesterday we spent a good part of the day outside enjoying the amazingly beautiful weather! Graham was lucky enough to have all four doting Grandparents visit to shower him with attention! Thank you to our parents who, aside from visiting with Graham, helped with the yard work and made us a wonderful lunch! Yesterday was also the day that Graham discovered that October in Minnesota means that there are leaves covering the ground, and that they're actually pretty fun to play with! Since everything goes into his mouth, the leaves were no exception....that is, until the adults who obviously don't understand the appeal or nutritional value to dry leaves, pulled them from his mouth.

Graham continues to amaze us with his very charming personality and curiosity. He's learned so much since he's been home, and we're so proud of him!! Friday night he actually balanced for about 15 seconds all by himself! Once he realized what he was doing, I think he got startled and immediately reached for my hand. He also loves to babble and his newest thing is to crawl around and all day say "buh buh buh". He likes to do this after hearing someone singing Ba Ba Black Sheep. He really watches our mouths and is trying to repeat the sounds we make. Hopefully this week, he'll learn a new sound. For Jeff and I, walking around the house saying "buh buh buh" is getting just a tiny bit old! :)

Playing in the leaves!

The disgusted look on Graham's face is a result of me trying to get him to eat green beans tonight with no luck. Take note of Annie....this is where she patiently sits each time Graham is eating!
