The Office!

There has been a lot going on around here these last few days. Jr. first because he is the first. His imagination is back. He loves to draw and demand that you draw all kinds of robot/animal/monster/pirate/dragon/horse/fish combinations. Then he tells great stories. I love his stories, they are filled with hand gestures and sound effects. What a man. Just as soon as I start in on him being a stinker, he turns crazy sweet. Smoochy huggy lovey crazy sweet. Today we made up a song about his Aquadoodle and he danced through the whole house especially for his brother.


Graham reaches out, grabs his toys and puts them into his mouth. He loves to sit up and stand up. He has a wide range of vocalizations. And cheerful, boy oh boy. The best part about this long weekend was that his dad busted out THE OFFICE! He loves it! YAY - TOYS! His very own toys that aren't his brothers. Plus it provides a ring of safety around him. He sits up so straight and looks around for his whole family even Selma. He really likes her. She has yet to notice him as he doesn't have any food to drop on the floor.



Oh and then there was Thanksgiving #1 and #2. They were both fabulous and delish. Jr. loves being with his grandparents and he really liked skyping with his Florida Grandparents. Graham turned on some serious charm for the holiday.



We should have spent the long weekend packing, but we didn't. There were lots of naps and tons of fun in the house. We didn't go out much even after the temperature jumped above zero - shame on us. I don't know what the deal is, but on the weekends it takes FOREVER to get our sh*t together and then all of a sudden Grahamm is sleeping and we haven't gotten out of our sweats. Lazy Colemans. It bothers Ed and I, and Jr. a bit, but Graham doesn't mind at all. He loves to snuggle.


I was looking back at Jr. at 4 months old and I noted that he was so big that he was now in his 9 month clothes. So is Graham, or at least he should be, I hate to unearth yet another box and bring it into this house right now, so his poor little feet are scrunched into his jammies and he is Mr. Highwaters during the day. He is so seriously plump it makes you laugh.


I love comparing the two boys. Their likenesses and differences never cease to amaze me. How could two boys made from the same genes be so fundamentally different? Their attitudes are so different and they look so different. They are alike in size and appetite. Graham is a sleeper, Jr. was not. Graham will go to just about anyone and smile, coo and laugh. Jr. only wanted one person and one person only, his momma.
