My cousin Nolan and I.





My cousin is AWESOME! We got a lot of hanging out to do.

Hangin out with my best buddy Jake!

This is Jake getting ready to tell me about some toddler girl he met yesterday!


This is Jake's mom Sarah trying to hit me in the head to wake me up. :)


Jake is trying to teach me the number 4. Let me ask you something. Do you think our blue eyes will melt the ladies in about 18 years?


Now this is funny, I don't care who you are. I can't tell you exactly what happen in this picture. But look at Jake's face and look at mine and I think you will know! :)


This is my daddy giving Jake a horse ride. I am too young for that, and a bit jealous too.

Have a rough day? Look at me then!






I know there are days when you just feel like climbing into a hole. That is why I am here! Just look at me and things will be much better! "Everything's goin to be alright!"

I'm getting bigger!

" Fetal position rocks!"
"My Don King look"
"2 beers please"
"You talking to me?"
"She loves me!"



Well, Graham had his 1 month appt last week and now weighs a grand total of 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Since then, I think he has probably packed on about 10 more pounds! :) He certainly isn't having any problems putting some lb's on.

I Love Bath Time!


I look like Rocky!

Uh Daddy, can you get that camera any closer?



Thanks for the hand daddy!
HEAVEN!



I gotta tell you, this might be my favorite time of the day! And what is it with warm water and having to go the bathroom in the tub? Man, that's frustrating!

I love being me!

"Living the dream with mommy"



"Who needs a crib when you have Mommy and Daddy's bed!"


"Sully, is it really neccessary to use my butt as your pillow?"



"Uncle Dustin, please don't eat me!"

Graham's reaction after being told the Reds were picked to finish 3rd in the division

This is my MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Mommy and Graham together for the 1st time after the initial birth. Please ignore the comments made by Grandma Woods :)

Me and Daddy for the 1st time!

This was the first time I got to hold Graham. If you listen closely, you can here him grunting. This was caused by the cord being around his neck during delivery and required him to stay in Special Care for about an hour post partum. Thanks to Uncle's Dustin and Matthew as well as Aunt Natalie Geier for the video feed.

Word of the Day - COLIC

Chillin' with daddy!
Mom, I'm trying to gain weight, yet you have me on this treadmill!
This was the one time I wasn't crying today! :)

This is my new friend Dakotah, she is 12 days old. I shared with her my experiences of life. I remember when I was her age. Isn't she so cute!


Mom, I can only watch so much of Greys Anatomy, Cheating Housewives and October Road! Daddy, what channel is ESPNHD????????

__________________________________________________________________

Colic: An attack of crying and apparent abdominal pain in early infancy. This is a common condition, occurring in about 1 in every 10 babies.(we're so lucky!) Colic is characterized by episodes of irritability, loud crying (very loud), and what appears to be abdominal pain with the legs drawn up and the abdomen feeling rigid.
An attack of colic usually begins suddenly (usually when a good show starts or friends are over) , often after a feeding. The cry is loud (again, very loud) and continuous (a.ka. all night). The spells last from one to four hours (up to 24 hours) and the baby's face often gets flushed or red. The belly is sometimes distended or prominent; the legs alternate between flexed and extended straight out; the feet are often cold and the hands clenched. The episodes, while they can occur at any time of the day or night, typically begin in the late afternoon or early evening.
Overfeeding, undiluted juices, food allergies, and emotional stress can aggravate colic. Colic usually lasts from several weeks of age to 3 to 4 months of age. It is not harmful to the baby but is very consternating and wearing on parents. (DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
