Cars driving down the road get big reactions!

Here's Graham waiting for Nana and Papa Jim to arrive for a visit

It's not so easy now to let Graham "air out" on the floor... naked or not, he just takes off!

Two Carolina Panthers...

Grahamy's standing on his own and checking out the "baby in the window..."

An empty gatorade bottle serves as Graham's teething ring...

Scott plays with Graham on his way out the door in the morning... in the corner of the picture, you can see one of our new gates... a necessity with a crawling baby!

I pulled the camera out this morning... and ZOOM... Graham crawled over to investigate!

Grahamy is dropping the purple ring on his book and the green ring on the carpet... he has discovered the different sounds he can make on the different surfaces...

Scott set aside his Panthers-pride so Grahamy could show off his new Eagles gear from Aunt Hannie...

Big steps (for a baby): Taking the plastic rings off and putting them back on again...

Just look at that grin! Graham's coming in for a hug as I'm taking the picture... It's hard to beat that!

This boy loves his hammer!

Graham is a curious and observant baby. He is content just picking at blades at grass or watching bugs crawl along the ground. He's pretty advanced for a 7-month old!...

Grahamy is taking his first (assisted) steps...

He's so proud of his new talent!

Welcome 2006!!!

Graham and his girlfriend Clara

Graham's New Year's Eve party...

Party animals!!!

... so excited to celebrate 2006!!!

Ringing in the New Year... before bedtime...

A-B-C's in the bath

The love of my life...

Graham's a real cowboy... check out those boots!!!

Graham's up on all fours...

He's up on those knees!

WHEN RACCOONS ATTACK!!!

He shoots, he scores!

A wheels-on-the-bus toy... so now Mom and Dad don't have to sing "the wheels on the bus go round and round..." 100 times a day!

Graham loves to watch Dad play basketball!

Graham and Dad's new toy: a baby basketball net!

Graham came home to a 2nd Christmas from his Grandma and Grandad Mellon and his aunts Melissa and Lindsey.

Here are our first wave of holiday pictures. We will post the second batch in a few days and will continue to update our shutterfly account (http://grahamy.shutterfly.com) with a more complete collection of Graham pictures.

Graham and his Papa Jim, Papa Wally, Papa Pizza, etc.

Papa Jim fooling around with Grahamy right before we all head back to Charlotte.

Just playing on the floor with Mom...

Grahamy's first snow!

... definitely cold and wet... not terribly impressive...

Hmm... not really sure...

... just hanging out with Aunt Hannie on a snowy morning...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Graham loved opening his Christmas presents!!!

Graham is the new owner of cousin Maddy's old books... since they both love to read!!!

Graham sings as more presents are opened... "da da da..."

So much excitement!

Scott holds his baby... and in the background, Gamps holds his baby too!
