Lately, Graham has decided he loves wearing slippers. Most specifically, he loves wearing my slippers. And though his size 5 little baby feet don't exactly fit into my size 10 slippers, he still enjoys trying :) Please excuse his crazy outfit. He wore his pajama bottoms for his nap and we just never put him back in his jeans when he woke up. Crazy looking outfit but comfy for the little man!
Here is our happy little man "posing" for his Christmas card picture. It wasn't easy to get him to smile, be in one place and look somewhere near the camera. Keith sat down with the camera, I ran with Graham through the house and then plopped him in front of the tree. Keith snapped away and we got a few pictures. This was the best we got. Minutes after we got the picture Graham fell on the corner of the wall and got a giant bruise on his head. He wasn't so happy about it, but he's almost all healed up from that.
We had the opportunity to go to Denver from the 13th to the 16th. It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun, even though Keith and I were flu stricken part of the time. Keith was sick on Sunday and felt good enough to fly out and I got sick part way through the trip. We drove up to Milwaukee on the 13th and flew (for free) on Frontier to Denver. Gotta love being a pilot's wife! We ended up being in the very back row with a very wiggly man, but it went pretty well for a 2 1/2 hour flight. While in Denver we got to stay with my brother, visit Keith's brother, and Keith and Graham got to go hang out with his friend and her family. We enjoyed 70 degree weather, mountains, and of course seeing our family and friends.
When we got home, we decided that Graham should "practice" opening presents so he knows what's going on when Christmas Eve and Christmas day roll around. He got to test out his stocking. He loved putting his hand in the stocking and seeing what goodies he could pull out next! He's very excited that he got Thomas the Train toothpaste. He has been very into Thomas and sings "Lalala" along with the theme music. We're also working on singing "Away in a Manger" and doing the actions with it. He doesn't do too bad!
Below, Graham is demonstrating his love for bananas. He LOVES them! He has since he was little and we can now give him half a banana and he will down it and ask for the other half. He's not so great at taking little bites, but he does a pretty good job. He's a pretty picky eater so as long as he's happy and eating I'm not complaining! He's also developed a love for cookies. Whenever he sees the cookie jar, he asks for a "cook-cook" and will munch down on those too. He doesn't get too many, but when he does he is VERY happy, and a chocolate mess.
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
