Yay for Mommy!

After a long and busy day at work yesterday, I came home and sat on the couch with Graham in my arms as usual. It's my favorite thing to do after work because no matter what happened during the day, seeing Graham ALWAYS made me forget the bad and all I can do is smile.

So after this particular day, I did my normal routine and started talking to Graham. I'd always ask how his day was and he'll respond back in Mmmm, AHHhhh, Yeeee.... Most of the time I'll get some smiles but never a laugh. So guess what? He laughed at me last night!! I was so thrilled that he laughed for the first time for me. I think he's starting to really know me now.

Hands -- He is very into his hands these days. Holds onto everything.... blankets, shirts, my HAIR...etc. Graham's got a good grip on him. Once he gets a good grip, you can forget about him letting it go!

Graham is also aware of people being in the room with him. I tried it when he was going to sleep in his crib. I ducked down so he couldn't see me, no cry. I slowly left the room and a minute later, he started crying. We've got to break that habit before he gets too comfortable with it.

I bought his first Easter outfit today at Trisha's Baby Station in Vestavia Hills and it looks adorable on him! Here's a sweet preview.

Graham is now over 3 months old. He can laugh, sit upright in your lap, suck his thumb. Here are a few pictures we took of him the other day.

also, just wanted to share that Graham has won a photo contest! Check it out.

Hello!

Giggle Giggle Giggle

There is absolutely nothing that's better than a sweet little baby's laugh. I witnessed ONE of Graham's first laughs last night.

Max had called me while I was at work telling me Graham smiled and giggled at Carl for 15 minutes while they were out at lunch. I was so disappointed that I missed his first laugh but I got to see it later on that night and I couldn't stop smiling. I almost cried because he was so happy! Thanks to Uncle Carl for "exercising" that made Graham laugh! Don't know why it made him laugh but it did. I have a video of him laughing that I will have to put up later.

I can't believe how big he's getting already! We were watching the video of the day he was born and I couldn't believe how tiny he was. His cry was a lot different compare to it now as well. As much as I want to see him grow up, I want him to stay little a little longer!

Graham's 1st SNOW!!

It's the morning of March 1st and it is snowing!! The snow is coming down pretty good. I didn't really believe the weather channel because they said we would get 2-4 inches of snow today. I guess they were right for once this time. I'll have to bundle Graham up and take a picture of him in the snow sometime today. It's the firsts of many for Graham and I can't wait to share them with the world.
