Busy Weekend

Today was a busy day. We went to church and the Bishop was there because Father Jerry was officially named head of our church, St. Agnes. Graham was blessed by Father Anthony at communion and thought that was pretty neat. We came home and raked leaves. Graham helped as long as he could, but wore out before we got the back yard done. (Good thing Tedd didn't wear out!) Graham has grown leaps and bounds this weekend! He is officially playing peek-a-boo by himself. He will hold his blanky up to his face and then pull down as to say "Peek-a-Boo!" He also drank about 3 ounces of apple juice (mixed with water) from a sippy cup! Wow! The last week he has become very, very, vocal. His hard consonant sounds are good. He say "kiki" a lot which, I think means blanky or binkie!

Here are our Halloween pictures. Graham did awesome! He wore his hat for the Halloween parade at school (1.5 hours) and then again for all of our trick-or-treaters and never messed with it one time. We went to a couple of neighbors houses. He seemed okay with that, no thrilled. All the neighbors were really excited to see us, so they were pretty keyed up which scared Graham a little bit. He was offered candy, but respectfully declined. Well, except for the gummie finger that we left in the wrapper for him to chew on! He loved it. The weather was incredibly nice, so we sat out on the porch and handed out candy. We estimated about 125 to 135 trick-or-treaters. Graham made through all but the last 20 or so. He loved watching the kids come up to the door in their costumes.

Graham is an extremely happy baby! Everyone should be as lucky as we are. He has a healthy appetite. (As if you couldn't already tell) He is a great sleeper and sleeps 10 to 12 hours every night. He giggles when he thinks you are going to tickle him and loves to play peek-a-boo
! His favorite songs are Itsy Bitsy Spider (with all the actions of course) and Take me out to the Ball Game. His one true dislike is tummy time. When we put him on his belly he flips over in a matter of seconds. We'll keep working on it though. He just started eating dinner with us. He has his main course (usually cereal and a veggie) and then while we eat our dinner, he eats his biter biscuit cookie! Yum! Yum!
