Graham's First Photo Shoot

Here are Graham's first photo shoot pictures that we selected. They were taken when he was just over a week old. Andie Hamilton is the very talented photographer who did these, and she will do more at 6 months, and then again at 1 year, and they will all be compiled into a book for our coffee table. SO excited about them!

Like Father, Like Son

As I mentioned in one of the previous posts, Mark's mom brought some of Mark's baby clothes with her when she was in town.

Here is Mark with the fam in his outift, circa 1976:

And here is Graham and Mark in Mark's outift, 2010:

Don't ya think they kinda look alike as babies? I do.

Happy Father's Day!!!!!!!

Hooray for Father's Day! Lots of daddies to honor today.

To my hubby on your first father's day...Graham is one very blessed kid to have you to look up to. I know he already knows the love you have for him and that you give to me. I love our little Cary family more than anything in the world.

To my own daddy...I am one very blessed kid to have you to look up to. I appreciate all of your love, support, advice, and many memories you have given me! I only pray to be as good of a parent as you and mom are to me!

And of course to my father-in-law...Mark and I thank you for everything you do for us. We are so blessed to have your love and only wish we could be closer! Love from Dallas to Yellow Springs.

So in honor of the day for daddy, our little family of 4 (we do count Kali) took a trip to White Rock Lake to take a stroll and enjoy the sunny spring day as a fam. Here are some pictures. (notice we finally are getting the camera out of the house!)

Someone is feeling left out...

"See, I can be held like a baby too!!!"

BFF's

so sweet and gentle with his new little bud

As most everyone knows, Natalie (Bosworth) Keck and I have been BFF's since we were in kindergarten. We have remained the best of buds for all of these years, 27 to be exact. Ironically, we now have baby boys within a year of each other. Nash and Graham got to meet for the first time this week, so here is the first of many many pictures. We can't wait to watch them grow up together just like Nat and I did.

Nash turns 1 on July 1st. He's so sweet, so busy, and full of life, just like his momma! LOVE HIM!

look at that smile!

Nash and Kali played with eachother through the glass! too cute!

Grandmother Love

We have been so fortunate to have Emmy Rouquette here for one whole week, followed by Noni Cary here the entire next week! It's been soooo nice to have the extra hands around the house! We are all going to miss both of them, especially Graham! He loves his grandma's dearly. He has a special bond with both of them.

 

Graham is wearing Mark's shoes that he had as a baby. Toni brought some of Mark's baby clothes and shoes so Graham can wear them...they are too cute! Love these little shoes!

One Month Old!

aunt lauren was in dallas! oh the love between auntie and nephew!

come back soon, sister!!!!

I'm a little delayed, because Graham is actually 5 weeks old. I can't believe how FAST this time has flown by! But we're taking in every little moment. (thank goodness for iPhones that are oh so handy for snapping a quick pic...see all pictures below.) He's growing like a weed already...some of his footed onesies that fit him just a couple of weeks ago are too short on him now. He also has really big hands and feet. Almost everyone comments on how big his hands are! He's going to grow into those "paws" and be tall like his daddy, and grandaddy Mitch. Graham holds his head up VERY well, which he has been doing since he was about a week old. And this week, he's been giving us his first smiles! My, how they melt the heart. Sooo sweet, our precious little man.

smiles! we hope to get more of these pics soon!

who do we think graham looks like? :)

momma love

don't ya just love this little baldy?

trying to capture more smiles!

graham's new fond love for the pacifier

I swear we do get out of the house! The camera just doesn't get pulled out much when we do apparently. We'll try to get better about that. :)

Emmy (my mom) has been here this week, so more pics to come! Graham loves his Emmy...and can't wait for Noni (Mark's mom) to get here tomorrow for the next week! And mommy (me) loves all of this help!!! We're getting spoiled with all of the grandma love!
