Growing up so quickly....

Graham is now over 8 months old! What in the world. I can't believe how the time has flown by! Graham has been learning for a while now how to eat baby food/baby oatmeal. Well, he finally mastered eating and how he LOVES his oatmeal and bananas in the morning, with a 2nd "real" meal of peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, with brown rice....something along those lines. He LOVES eating big boy food now...even if he sees the bowl headed his way he gets fussy if I don't hurry up and get the spoon in his mouth! Then the first bite you give him he looks at you and starts smiling then laughing....."thank you mommy"! Teaching kids the small things like eating, and how to drink out of a sippy cup is just a learning experience for the mom as well! So, it is fun now to feed Graham and see the excitement he has toward food! We are going to have to invest in a highchair pretty soon!
Graham is also pulling up and trying SUPER hard to crawl! He will scoot across the carpet as much as he can, but you can see the determination in his face as it turns red and his grunting begins...."Go buddy GO!!!!!!!!!!!" I am sure once he starts to crawl it will be a whole new world for Mike and me both! Mikes new trick with his son is teaching him how to do pull ups, you think I am kidding! Ha! Mommy teaches him how to eat, while daddy teaches him how to do pull ups! You can see the pictures below!

I am so impressed with Graham's strength (as all father's are). I am sure he'll be a rock climber like me! I am always amazed at how selfless and sweet Shelli is to Graham and how well she teaches him everything. Love you!
