Almost a Year...

It's really hard to believe that Graham is almost a year old. Wow. Sad and exciting at the same time. Sad because this time has literally zoomed by me. Exciting because everyday is a new fun adventure with Graham. Below are some recent, random pictures. Most are from the park near our house. Which Graham LOVES. We go there every week. His favorite "ride" is certainly the swing, but he's not completely opposed to the slide, see-saw, monkey bars...

Also new - Graham climbed up the entire flight of stairs two days ago (and we were able to get it on camera!), and he has a new routine when we put him to bed at night - dance party! For ages we've been singing the chorus of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" to him. And for ages he's danced with just his head. Now he's added a little hip action to the routine. Another video to post. Once I get them downloaded.

Can it get better than this?! Peek-a-boo and swinging AT THE SAME TIME!

At the end of the double slide with Dad.

I interrupt this stream of pictures for a Kona-Brown commercial break. Seriously - how sweet is this face?! We've realized that our sweet little Kona is starting to age. Her front left paw has been giving her a hard time these days, and we've had to start her on arthritis medicine. (which makes me really sad) But she doesn't seem to let the discomfort faze her. She still plays frisbee and goes careening through the backyard "hunting" with Molly.

At the playground. Again!

My dad (Papa) taught Graham to stick his tongue out of the side of his mouth. He thinks it's hilarious. And sticks out his tongue whenever he sees his Papa.

Graham's first "spaghetti" dinner. My mom, Gigi, makes the best meat sauce. So, we made some small pasta and introduced Graham to it - YUM! (There is the distinct possibility that he may have enjoyed playing with it more than eating it....)

It's almost Halloween! Our "loot" from the pumpkin patch - complete with grass growing out of my hay. (We've had lots of rain...)
