7 Months

Oops, a bit late on this one! We have had a busy schedule lately.....I thought it was supposed to be easier now that I'm not working....ha! Liam has been adjusting to Callie's new schedule - preschool, swim lessons, soccer practice and much more. Soon it's time for me to start doing things just for Liam!
Here's my big guy at seven months:
(so stinkin' cute!!)

  • He is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Weighing in around 20 pounds he is getting close to transitioning to a big boy car seat! How fast time flies!
  • He can totally sit all by himself and totally prefers to be sitting more than anything else. 
  • We have no movement - doesn't seem to be too motivated to crawl yet. He will try to get a toy out of reach and then just give up when he realizes he can't reach it. 
  • He can get up on all fours now and will rock back and forth but can't quite figure out how to move his arms to crawl. 
  • His sleep continues to be extremely erratic. Some nights are great and some nights are not great. He has gotten a lot of tough love but it doesn't really seem to help much. 
  • His sister continues to be his number one (the cats are a close second) and it totally warms my heart to see the two of them laugh and giggle together. 
  • Food is much more successful now. He loves picking up food (puffs) and eats a lot of squash, carrots, and bananas. 
  • He is a bit of a social butterfly. Anytime someone (even a stranger) looks at him and smiles, he lights up and giggles and smiles back at them. 
  • He is very aware of his surroundings now and outings are very fun with the two of them. We just spent the day at the zoo and the penguins were his favorites. 





He's almost moving.......

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...
