Graham at Five months!

Graham is sitting up on his own. He loves to be able to see what is going on and is pretty good at keeping his balance.

Graham turns sideways in his Bumbo, we worry that he might topple out soon! (Especially when he is reaching for something to the side.)

He loves to squeal and scream in delight. He has found his voice and loves to use it.

He still loves to giggle and will do it often. Especially if you tickle his feet, chest or just give him some giggles back.

He just started being into toys... or anything he can hold. He wants to hold the phone, remote control and other things we are holding (knifes when we are in the kitchen) but we don't let that happen! We quickly distract him with Sofie the Giraffe or a rattle.

He loves people and people love him! When I go to the gym, all of the Child Center workers comment on how cute  he is and that they all love him. He sure knows how to turn on the charm when he wants to!

He is very interested in eating and drinking. He would love to get his hands on some real food soon.

He will arch his back when he is laying down and at the beginning of the month would occasionally roll over. Now that it is towards the end of the month, he immediately rolls from his back to his belly, and stay there until he is frustrated.

He continues to hold his hands and suck on his toes.

He can now officially feed himself a bottle... and for awhile refused to eat from Mommy because he liked to feed himself so much.

Graham loves being outside and enjoying the fresh air!

He responds to his name with a big toothless grin!

He now scoots backwards when he is on his belly. And will occasionally "plank". (Locking his arms and lifting onto his toes so the rest of his body if off the ground.)

  1. I love learning about Graham... thank you. Yes, he is special. We knew it the first time we met him. I keep wondering what kind of an influence he will have on baby Keegan his cousin.
