Haircut

Graham got a haircut.














He still loved his mommy after it was all over.













He woke up very sleepy from his nap and gave me this withering look when I took his picture:














He is so much fun to be with. He says juice, ball, up, open, out, bath, hot, mom, dad, bike, light, hat, eyes and book.

Plus lots of other words, sort of.

He has a mild obsession with the vacuum cleaner. If we say "vacuum", no matter where we are in the house or what we are doing he takes us to the closet, makes us open it and has to examine the vacuum for a few moments before he is able to undertake any other task.

He's also gotten very into his book about machines. His favorite machines are: race car, hovercraft, motorcycle, tractor and fire truck.

Other than bike he can't say any of the machine names, so he has invented his own blanket term for any mechanical device: "Lllllllloooorpah". He loves saying this and will say it whenever he sees any construction equipment on a drive.

Such a sweetie!


How's this for a cute picture?? We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little boy! Graham is so happy and is enjoying life to the fullest. He's learning new words and activities everyday, and never stops investigating things. What a joy he is.

More fun with Graham!

We thought it was about time we wrote a little more informative email as Graham is at the stage where every day brings new joys! While we were in Georgia he started really trying to say some new words, most notably and cleary "hot", and as soon as we got home he added "Out" "Up" and "light". We'll attach an audio clip of one of the words, see if you can guess which one!

If you asked what else Graham was into these days, a pretty accurate answer would be everything. He LOVES the outdoors, animals, exploring new places, playing in water (or other people's beverages!), reading books and pointing to all of his favorite pictures, pushing his dump truck, kicking his soccer balls, and riding on our backs to name a few. He is fully of energy and life, and is so serious about learning about his world and how to communicate and interact with it.













Here are a couple more pictures from our time in Georgia- don't you like the snotty nose in the bottom picture? The Georgia pollen really got to him...
