Adorable Torture

Although we think Graham's monster costume is pretty darn cute we found it more fun to put parts other people's costumes on our helpless son. These are some of his favorite looks.

Halloween at Gardner Village

Thanks Erin! You are amazing.

Snorting

As long as I am in the posting mood, I decided the world was ready for this--Graham's snorting.

Top of Utah Marathon

Well, I did it! I finished my first marathon (possibly my last). Thanks to everyone who supported me and watched Graham during my longs runs. Thanks to my running buddies Graham and Scout. It was a good experience, but honestly I thought that after 16 weeks of training I would feel a big sense of accomplishement for around 16 weeks. It only lasted 2 days. On to the next challenge.

Love those chompers

So I have to admit that I love the fact that Graham's teeth are so far apart. Jesse sometimes refers to them as crazy, but I think it makes him even cuter. The first top tooth popped through on August 22nd and the other came out exactly one week later. Now he has four teeth total!

Another thing that amazes me about Graham is that his attachment to a certain stuffed animal has manifest itself at such a young age. I call him Barry the Bear and Graham loves to eat him, roll around with him and shove him in his face as he is falling asleep. It has brought back memories of all the stuffed animals that I have loved at the different stages of my life. He is definitely my son.

18 Miles!

Enough said.

P.S. The Top of Utah Marathon better watch it's back.

Six months and Six years

Yesterday Graham turned six months old. He asked if he could celebrate by getting some semi-regular food, so I obliged with squash. He liked. He is getting so big--rolling everywhere nowadays and blabbering endlessly. "Mamama" is his favorite phrase lately. He is experiencing a little trouble sleeping, which is new for us, and we are trying to adjust his schedule accordingly. I just had to get out the "Babywise" book for some good advice. Here are some of my favorite recent Graham moments including his first squash experience.

Today is also our six year anniversary. The past six years of marriage have been wonderful. I feel very lucky to have met Jesse. He makes me a better person and I am often amazed by how we are able to fill in each other's gaps. We make a pretty good team. I am always saying "You think you're so funny," as I try to choke back a laugh, but the truth is that I am the one who thinks he is funny. I hope he never stops making me laugh.
