Happy Birthday Graham aka Gram Bam, Grambo, Grahamers, Grammy, Gramtastic, The Great Grambino, Grahamburger, Graham Cracker, Big Boy, Googie, Squigems, Bam-bam, fella, Dudie, the boy with a million nicknames! This year has been an absolute JOY! Your goofy 8-scalloped-tooth grin is contagious, your open mouth smooches are infectious, and your incessant clapping and waving is adorable.



You always are making us smile by:



Taking phone calls with any toy, bottle or remote…“Ello, Hi, …(fake laugh)… (fake laugh)”



Oompa –Loompa Walk



Gut laughing while we make you a bottle



Grin from ear-to-ear when we get you out of your crib



Harassing Rees



Your Love for George, Charlie, Ethan, Max, Addison, Sienna, Joci, Camille & Tessa and any kid or baby! The Ultimate Social Butterfly!



Dancin’ Dancin’ Dancin’ by shaking your booty & shoulders



Throwing, kicking, gathering, & saying "ball, ball, ball...." 800 times daily!



Infatuations with the toilet, trash cans & doggie bowls



Attacking anyone laying on the floor with kisses & hugs



I Love you Graham! HappyBirthday! XOXO



Did I Give Birth to Terry Bradshaw?


I wish I was funny enough to have thought of this, but I wasn't! My brother's friend made the observation on Sunday and I haven't stopped laughing! Too classic! I just hope Graham has twinner throwing arm ... "like a cannon"!

Where the Wild Things Are???

In the water of course!!!
Gorgeous Georgous in his flap happy hat!

Charlie wingin' it!
Graham was so irritated that he had to stop splashing for one second to take a pic! Graham and Ethan river rafting!

followed up with a warm bath!

Jovial July

July flew by with all the summer fun we were having! We celebrated the 4th with the Jonas Brothers at the Stadium of Fire and the 24th with the Poulson Brothers, Liam & Owen, at Fremount Lake in Pinnedale Wyoming!

I had to share this pic of Graham posing in his car seat with his toothy grin! Where did my baby go... he looks like he is 3 years-old?
Having a drink, watching the game with Grandpa! Put it on the list of firsts... Graham's first concert The Jonas Brothers! The deer in headlights expression lasted for the entire show!
Dancing with Cousin Camille to "Burnin' Up"
The Three Amigos in their Baja Hoodies took Pinnedale by storm! Thanks Jen for supplying Graham with the matching costumes!

Graham was the ultimate Skipper and Boating Baby at Fremount! Although he hated the life jacket, not made for those without necks and double chins, he loved the boat, the water, and watching Mom & Dad surf!
Lazy Man's Boat Beverage!


While I was skiing glass.....

Chris was watching Graham ... which consisted of ...


tying him to the boat! Creative!


First Trimmy-Trim!




Bye-bye

Graham's newest trick is saying Bye-bye with an accomanied wave! I have been trying to make him perform for just about everyone but it is a bit sparatic! The other night while we were having a SYTYCD dinner party at the Smith's new home Jordan caught it on camera! Which was amazing because he does not always perform on command! I can't get enough of the chubby-floppy-wrist wave, Enjoy!

The Summer Camp Director of Summer Fun!!!

Dru has many wonderful titles but I have added another to her resume ... Please meet the all time best Summer Camp Director of Summer Fun ... My Mother! Dru is always up for a field trip, activity or adventure! I usually get a phone call the previous night or early in the morning with an itinerary of adventure! Below are pictures of a day in the kiddie pool topped off with Yo-Yo sneaking Grahamburger a Banana Creamie to soothe his aching gums and a naked crawl!

























Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we went to St. George and soaked up the sun and played with Graham at the pool! He loved the pool but loved making friends in the kiddie pool more! He is a social animal! The first time he pulled him self to standing was at the condo and then he walked along the furniture trying to keep up with his cousins! Thanks Tom & Corinne for the fun!





















9 months & Back on the Charts!

Today I took Graham, affectionately known as The King of Tonga, to his 9 month appointment. Everyone warned me that they grow up too fast, sigh... and it is so true! Graham continues to be an extremely happy baby who always wakes up with a big grin! He loves riding his tractor, crawling, bathing, playing peek-a-boo, and pulling himself to standing! He smiles and nearly hyperventilates when he sees his Dad, Yo-Yo (Dru), Rees and especially George! He continues to generously give open-mouth slobbery kisses, which I can't get enough of! Graham's usual jibber-jabber consists of, "bye-bye", "ga-ga", & an occasional growl! He also likes to mouth what I am saying and looks like my little ventriloquist doll! Speaking of his mouth... 5 teeth have broke thru in the last 3 weeks, 4 on bottom and 1 snaggle on top! It is hysterical and compliments his styling tuffs of hair that hang over his ears!
