Family Resemblance

Everyone always comments on how much Graham looks like Michael. While I defintiely see the resemblance, I couldn't help but notice that he has some of me in him too when I saw these baby pictures of myself. The top pictures are of me - on the right I am 3 months and on the left I am 6 months. Graham is underneath for comparison. Also, look back to this post to see how M and G look similar!

All About Graham

Graham is almost 3 months old! I can't believe how time is flying! It seems like just yesterday he was a tiny baby and we were bringing him home from the hospital. Here's an update on all the latest in Graham's world.

He smiles all the time and is starting to laugh a little bit. He is also starting to find his voice, as he has been making a lot more noises.

He can easily roll from his back to his side and enjoys sleeping on his side.

He can wiggle himself all over his crib - top to bottom, side to side. We always find him in a different place when he wakes up. We recently stopped swaddling him when he sleeps (I was nervous about doing this, because for a long time it seemed to be the one thing that kept him asleep through the night) and it has been a huge success. He doesn't fuss when we put him down and continues to sleep through the night.

He LOVES tummy time and can hold himself up pretty well. He has excellent head control and will start to wiggle his butt when he is on his tummy and try to push with his feet. He is definitely trying to find ways to be mobile.

In the past few days I have noticed that he intetionally grabs for things (his lovies, his pacifier, toys) as opposed to it just happening to end up in his grasp.

He continues to LOVE bathtime and getting his hair washed. I have accidentally gotten water in his face a few times, and he doesn't mind at all. I can't wait to take him swimming this summer!

After switching to a different brand of bottles about a month ago, feeding time has gone much more smoothly. He is still eating the soy formula and doing well with that.

He sucks on anything and everything: his pacifier, his hands, his lovies, the collar of his shirt, my shirt.

Daycare is going well for him, and he has only really had one day so far where he was fussy and didn't have a good day. He seems to be happy there and is getting excellent care. Graham is the youngest of three babies! The other two girls are both about 2 months older than him.

Graham is such a wonderful, happy little man. We enjoy him every day and look forward to each and every new thing he does!

Daddy's Mini Me

Graham looks so much like Michael did when he was a baby! At this point it seems like he got his hair color from me and his eyes. At least the shape of his eyes. For now they are blue (also like mine), but that can change as his eye color won't really be determined until he around 6 months.

2 Months Old!

Graham is 2 months old today! This afternoon, we went to his 2 month checkup. He weighed in at 11 lbs. 8 oz. and was 23 inches long. Way to grow little guy! He also received his first round of vaccinations and came through like a champ. I think it was harder on mom than it was on him.
