Charmed, I'm Sure
On Feb. 12th, I celebrated my 29th birthday. On the 11th, we went over to Michael's parents house for a wonderful dinner. His mom remembered me admiring her charm bracelet months ago, so they started me out with a Pandora charm bracelet! I absolutely love it and am excited to continue adding charms to it. On the night of the 12th, Michael and I enjoyed a nice dinner at Morton's and got to sleep in, as my parents watched Graham overnight. On the 13th when we went to pick up Graham, we went out to dinner with my parents at this fun restaurant that overlooks the lake in Evergreen. What a fun birthday weekend!

Tummy Troubles

"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."
~Posted on Jan. 27, 2011
Boy, did I ever jinx us with that post. A few days after I posted that, Graham started throwing up quite a bit on a regular basis. I immediately recognized that it was when we first switched him to formula all over again. Luckily, this time I felt like I knew what to do and reassured myself with a quick call to the pediatrician. Graham's next few bottle were Pedialyte, so that he wouldn't get dehydrated and we could flush his system out. I made the decision to switch his formula to the hypoallergenic kind, as I really felt that he had developed a sensitivty to the soy. We were told when we first moved him to the soy that many kids who had the milk protein sensitivty also had a soy sensitivity and it could take awhile to manifest. While the hypoallergenic smells awful, G seems to like it and has been doing much better. Hopefully this will help with some of our feeding issues - fingers crossed.
Despite having tummy issues, Graham was the happy baby that he always is!

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.
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.

Happy Holidays!!
Graham has just finished up his first holiday season! At the beginning of December, we celebrated Hanukkah. We also had a few postponed Hanukkah celebrations throughout the month in order to wait for our close friends to come into town. Unfortunately, I have been neglecting my camera and did not take any pictures of our little man at these celebrations. Graham had a wonderful time and received some very cool gifts (clothes, toys for the car, and stuffed animals). Luckily my mom and dad are much better at remembering their camera and documented Graham's first Christmas Eve and Christmas.

I'm such a handsome man! Look at my cute Christmas onesie!

Slumber Parties & Smiles
Graham had quite the busy week! He had overnight stays with both sets of grandparents! On Thursday night, he stayed up in Evergreen with Grandma and Grandpa Dozeman while Michael and I got some work done (him for school and me for a class I have to take for work) and got some sleep. On Saturday night, he stayed with Cookie and Grandpa Pretekin while Michael and I went to the holiday party for his work and stayed overnight downtown. Graham had a great time both nights! On Thursday, my mom told me that she was pretty sure he was smiling on his own and it wasn't just gas anymore. On Friday, he smiled at me for the first time! Grandpa Pretekin captured his smile when he was there Saturday night.


Cookie's friends got her a Pack'n'Play and a swing to have at their house for Graham for her birthday at the end of November. And while he doesn't seem to go for the swing at our house, he loved it at theirs. I'm not sure why this is true, since we have the exact same swing, just with different stuff on it (ours is a lamb and the colors aren't as bright..maybe that's it).
