The Grahaminator at 4 months!

He's so fascinated by the camera now, but still refuses to smile for it. :)

Weight: (No idea. We'll find out in a couple of days.)

Height: (Same.)

Clothing size: Still in 0-3 months/ 3 months... but his huge cloth diaper bum is helping fill these clothes up! :)

Diaper size: CLOTH DIAPERS! Still going strong!

Feeding: He's still eating well every 3 hours. And he now will take a normal bottle like a normal baby!!! Yessssss.

Sleeping: We started pushing his bedtime back a few weeks ago, so now his last feeding is at 8:30 pm and then we put him to bed for the night. He sleeps until 7 am. He naps for about 1.5 hours every 3 hour cycle. I've started giving him his paci about 10 minutes before I put him down for a nap, which helps him relax and not scream his guts out when I lay him down in the crib. :)

Milestones: First cold. :( He started babbling like crazy a few days ago! He "talks" up a storm now. Really cute. He also took his first bath like a man today- no tears. First time ever!

Likes: SNUGGLING as always. He just loves being held as much as possible. There are some days when he seems clingy and doesn't like me to put him down, but most days he's fine playing on the Elephant Mat or whatever. Still crazy about his thumb and constantly working on getting it in his mouth. Also, he loooooves Baby Benchpress! He smiles so big every time. He also has started giving big smiles lately when we sing songs that we move his arms with, like "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" and "Do Your Ears Hang Low"... And he loves getting kisses!

Dislikes: Booger- sucker. We used this constantly for a couple of weeks. Baths. Big crowds/ being passed around a lot. He used to be so oblivious about what was going on around him, but lately he seems to get overwhelmed and overstimulated when there are tons of people around taking turns holding him. 

Adventures: First Valentine's Day. Kaleigh's shower! Loved celebrating with her!! Graham's baptism at our church. This doesn't represent salvation, but shows God's covenant with our family and His blessing on Graham. We are trusting and praying that God would draw Graham to Himself by grace through faith, hopefully at a young age!

Daddy's big guy, but Mommy's little Valentine. :)

Still just figuring each other out. :)

I love this pic!

Graham screamed his guts out when that water hit his head!
Corey did a great job at his baptism, and we're so thankful for our family and friends' support. 

Recovered from the trauma of his baptism.
He was baptized in the same outfit Andrew was 29 years ago! 

4 generations!
Graham's middle name comes from Andrew's Grandpa Harrison.

What we couldn't live with out: Each other. So many times since giving birth, I have repeatedly wondered out loud, "How do single moms do it?" I just have no idea what I would do if Andrew weren't here to give me some relief by having adult conversation, changing a few diapers, helping with bath time, bouncing parenting ideas off of, completely taking over for a couple of days when I got mastitis... not to mention making money for our little family! My mother was a single mom for almost my entire childhood, and I have a whole new respect for her and all single moms out there. You are amazing!!! 

My favorite part of parenting this age: All the smiles!!! He definitely recognizes and prefers me and Andrew now, which is kinda fun. :) And lately all his babbling. Again, loving this age!! 

The hardest part of parenting this age: Giving up dairy! Ha. I gave it up for 3 weeks because I thought it was helping with his spit-up, and then decided it made no difference. He just spits up a lot in general. And I get to have cereal again!!! That was a big sacrifice. :) Also, mastitis, twice in two weeks. It's impossible to parent with this. Ughhhhhh. Little Grahammers is worth it all, though. Little sweet pea.

Check out that 'stache!!
