Grahamism's

Graham is 17 1/2 months old, and I must record some of my favorite things he does:

-"mo' mo'" which means "more please", as he touches the palm of one hand with his pointer finger of the other, such a sweet little voice. he's been doing this for a while, but it still melts my heart
-"ki" which means "kali"
-"baaaalllllll" which is the excitement he gets when throwing the ball for Kali to fetch. mark is proud to announce that Graham can throw a spiral with his pint sized football
-"bat" which means "bathtime". we will say, ok graham, it's time for your bath, and with no fuss or questions asked, walks towards the bathroom saying 'bat, bat, bat' because he loves this time of night
-"buh" which means "book". he loves to bring us a book, back up, and plop down in our laps to read a book
-he loves to dance to the beat of music, and by dancing, he tries to jump off the ground, which he can't really do, and go up and down. it's the funniest cutest thing ever!
-if we are laying on the floor while he's playing, he will come up and tackle us but the tackle is a great big snuggly hug. priceless.
-he loves to come home every day and play in the backyard...he's recently accomplished going up the ladder of his little slide and going down and then do it over and over. this finally took place after giving up trying to go up the slide.
-his favorite foods are: lasagna, spaghetti (esp the meat), chicken nuggets, ketchup, steak, sweet potato fries, fruit filled granola bars, and goldfish! not a huge veggie fan.
-his favorite juice is prune juice straight up, and thank goodness, because he's finally a regular pooper
-when he's at home, he's hyper, wild and crazy at times, but when he's around new kids and new people, he's very reserved, checks out the scene, and slowly warms up. he's not really shy, just reserved. so funny.
-oh, there are so many more things, but these are the highlights for now! we love our little man...........

AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IF HIS LITTLE BROTHER OR SISTER IS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME HAPPY, LOVING, EASY GOING PERSONALITY!!!

G's first fair ride, on an airplane of course!
mark's words: he's going to be an adrenaline junkie!
he was so into all of the rides, and wanted to go on all of them!
a fun time had by all at the great State Fair of Texas 2011!
