He's allowed in the dining room... and after his climbing attempt fails, Graham simply crawls through the kitchen into the dining room...

Graham is trying to climb over the security gate into the dining room...

Who wants a cracker?

Dad and Graham "sled" along the hall...

After Scott gets home from work, all he wants to do is play with his boy...

... and he's eating again...

Graham's always been a big eater, but now he insists on feeding himself!!!

... and Graham found another drawer...

Graham stands at the back of the sofa and makes his "little bird face" for his mankie...

Grinning for the camera and making his most recent "brrrrr" sound with his lips...

Scott is "playing soccer" with Graham by swinging him into a giant ball...

Who do you think is enjoying this game more?

Dad won't allow this forever, but for now... Grahamy loves to put his feet up! He just wants to be like his Nana...

Graham fell asleep on the way home from the park
and didn't even wake up when I loosened the straps on his car seat...

Graham likes to watch me drive...

...WEEEEEEEEE...

... another perfect day for the park...

Graham turns more and more "little boy" with each passing day...

Yes, this is the first of March... it was mid-70's here today and HOT!!! Graham and I had to break out the shorts, hats and sunblock. We tried out his new sunglasses, but he immediately tore them off... we'll have to break them in before summer...

Graham had his 9-month appointment today. He currently weighs 23 lbs. and 1 oz. and measures 29 inches. His "report card," as his doctor calls it, puts him in the 80% for weight and 75% for height. He showed off his new cruising skills as well as his speedy crawl... the doctor and staff were most impressed! We definitely have a bruiser here in Charlotte, NC!!!
