Two Years Old

My how time has flown by. Our little boy is not so little anymore. Amazing to think that it was 2 years ago that he was born and that our family changed from a family of 3 to a family of 4.
Everyday I am amazed at how different our 2 kids are. I love their crazy differences and embrace everything that makes them them.

Here's some updates about our crazy boy:

  • He is the most independent kid I have encountered in a while. I can't remember the last time that he held my hand without a fit (when crossing the street especially). He has to get in and out of the car all by  himself, he has to make his own breakfast every morning, his favorite words are "myself". 
  • Although he is very independent, he is also a very good snuggler. He loves to just wrap his arms around you and snuggle in tight. 
  • He loves to sing; loudly, wherever he is. His favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me, Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Birthday, Star Light, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, and Mr. Moon. 
  • He is a bit truck obsessed. Pretty much all he plays with, all day long. The trucks drive around the house, they sit at the table and cheer him on when he eats (Go, Liam, Go), they go potty in Callie's dollhouse....pretty much anything you can think about, he does with a truck. His favorites are Lightening McQueen and his school bus. 
  • We have made a lot of progress on his language. He now talks in complete sentences and much easier to understand and communicate with. 
  • We have also turned the corner on books. It has taken him quite a while but he finally is starting to love books and being read to (especially if they are truck books). 
  • He loves his sister and follows her around daily. Luckily, most days, she is extremely patient with him. He loves to play hide and seek with her and, surprisingly, will sit quietly in a hiding spot and wait for her to find him. They are also found playing 'get you' daily....which pretty much just means they chase each other around the house. 
  • He continues to be a bit shy around other people although he will play coy with some strangers. We haven't enrolled him in swim lessons yet but each week he goes to story time at the local library and tumbling through the Y. Each week he opens up a bit more and will do a bit more each time. Today I actually caught him singing along during story time. 
  • Outside continues to be his favorite place; rain or shine. If he could spend all day outside he would. 
We didn't do much for his birthday. A quiet celebration at home with just us. Liam was totally happy because he got a cupcake and new trucks....a perfect day for him.


Here's just some random things from our crazy boy.

Getting growy

Now that Liam has arrived, it's becoming more and more obvious how big and mature Callie is! I keep telling her that she needs to stop getting so big.....her response? "No, I want to get growy like you so I can open the blinds and drive all by myself!"......hmmm, not quite ready for that! But this weekend was a BIG weekend for Callie, Saturday I was feeding Liam and Callie was changing her babies when she ran off to the bathroom. After a couple minutes Preston ran to check on her and we found that she decided she was done with her pacifier and was throwing it into the trash (we had previously gotten rid of it until we found out she was afraid of the dark, and on our pediatrician's advice, gave it back to her after a month of no sleep). We went with it and Saturday she had her first pacifier free night......it was rough! Unfortunately Preston had to deal with the brunt of it, as I was up with Liam. Not much sleep in the graham house! We were motivated though.....Sunda...

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...

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 ...
