Hefner Lake
Although we haven't ventured out on the whole nine mile walk, we have taken a few short ones with our sweet boy. Here are a few pictures from Sunday afternoon. Maybe by the end of our stay Graham and his out of shape parents will be up for the challenge. Little does Graham know, he has already done it once (8 months before he was born).

Look What I Made!
I made this on a Sunday afternoon. I hope to get Graham's 3 month portraits taken in this outfit (even though he will be four months old this week, yikes). A huge thanks to my friend Elizabeth for doing the monogramming. It turned out great! I thought I better snap a few pictures of him just in case I never get around to the formal pictures. Now for a silly story: Graham wore this to church today in OKC. I put a bib on him right after he ate, because we have been having a lot of spit up lately. Which is quite silly since I wanted everyone to see his awesome initials beaming on his chest. I took G to get a cup of coffee, where three elderly women then proceeded to tell me what a sweet beautiful little girl I had. I didn't have the heart to correct them. I guess the bib looked like a big collar or pinafore. He was dressed in all blue including the bib and socks, with the most "boy like" tricycles they make. I think he is pretty cute too, but I don't think he looks girly. We have had several people comment on our "little girl." What's the deal really????
Can't you just hear the cackle in this picture? Really it was more of a squeal I guess.
Elizabeth Rocks!!!!! I told Graham all about how I made this outfit just for him. "No one else can wear it. It wouldn't make any sense because it has your name on it." He just giggled all through my monologue.
"Look at those rubber bands the people forgot to take off my arms."
I think he really looks like a Curton here. I'm so sad after I washed it the buttons turned yellow. So much for cheap Wal-Mart buttons. $0.68 come on your not supposed to change colors on me. Now I have an excuse to go to Hancock's. Maybe I'll go for blue this time.

Game Day!



Sooners fans weren't too excited to see our little "porkchop" around town today.

New Laugh


Graham found a new friend in Oklahoma. Now he loves Lion AND Monkey.



Packing!! Again.....
I feel like we have been going and going lately and Graham agrees. He was a huge help as we packed for OKC. We stopped in LR to break up the trip a little bit. It was well worth it because Pap surprised us with an awesome shrimp boil!

We ate and ate until it was almost all gone! Mom didn't get very many leftovers. We finally made it after a two hour layover in Russellville. A nice ride in a tow truck through Hurricane Gustav and a little snack at the GMC dealership. Did you know they give free drinks while you wait??? Lucky for us it was just a water hose.
The apartment is great and Graham learned a new trick! I will post pics of our place and the new trick as soon as I can catch it on video.

Retiring Already??

I have spent the week retiring Graham's clothes. It's amazing how quickly they grow out of things. I've been folding up and labeling all of his newborn - 3 month clothes, so I can share with the next baby in our family. Some 6 month outfits are already too small. He is in size 2-3 swaddlers, but I'm not sure they will last much longer. He has been wearing cloth diapers at home and only disposables at night or when we go out. He is still in small fuzzi bunz but I'll have to decide if we are going to continue and invest in mediums or not by the end of next month.

A few excuses as to why I haven't blogged in a month:

  • Our desktop computer (4 years old) decided to bite the dust. Fried motherboard. Thank you Norton for online backups!! I only lost this last week of pictures and videos.
  • Spent a week with my family at the Big Piney in a fantastic cabin. (blog topic for later, when smeone emails me some pictures. Lost mine)
  • Graham and I have had a terrible cold.
  • Graham has decided to go back to nursing every two hours all night long. I am napping when he does..... hope it's a growth spurt or the cold.
  • Designed and sewed kitchen curtains for a friend from church.
  • Made Graham's 3 month outfit for professional pictures. It's at the monogramer's house right now. (pics to come)
  • Busy growing a boy (24 hour job, you know)

Here are a few favorite pictures from last month. Hope to do better now that everything is on the laptop.

Mom, the points turned out great! Thanks for all of your help over the phone!
Graham's belly button is looking so much better.... it's almost an inny now.

Graham loves his bumbo. His favorite toy is the lion. When you pull it's tail it laughs. Graham gets pretty tickled about it.
He has really started eating his fists and drooling a ton. Time to get out the bibs. I changed his clothes four times on Sunday because they were so wet.
