15 months

This morning Graham had his 15 month well visit. It really makes me sad that time is passing so quickly and he is growing up so fast. I feel so blessed to get to stay home with the kids. I can't imagine being a working mom (outside of the home) right now. They grow up too fast to not enjoy every minute possible with them. Look at how big our little guy has gotten!!

He weighs 23lb. 5 oz. putting him in the 45th percentile for weight and he is 32 inches long putting him in the 90 percentile for height. His head measured 19 inches which puts his head size in the 75th percentile. He got 2 shots and handled them like a champ. He was perfect for Dr. Sampson. He is used to Morgan giving him check-ups at home so he has gotten pretty good at sitting still for his check ups. :)

He seems to be right on track developmentally at 15 months. One thing I was a little worried about was his talking. He is still really only saying Mama, Dada, and Uh-Oh. He babbles more but not actual words just yet. He understands a lot more than he can say. Dr. Sampson said at 18 months he should say 7-8 words. Hopefully these new words will come soon. I am probably worrying for no reason...I am good at that! We have had no luck in getting him to drink milk out of a cup. We are weaning him off his night bottle right now. He gets his calcium from yogurt, cheese and ice cream but I hoping we can get him to drink a little milk eventually. Morgan never would drink milk out of a cup either. What is wrong with these kiddos? Do they get this from their momma or what? I can't say I blame them but I know it is good for them so we will keep trying.

After we left the doctor's office we went to get Graham his 2nd haircut at KaZaam's. Here he is waiting his turn.

I didn't get any pics during his cut because he was sitting on my lap. He ate his lollipop and was perfect!!

Our last stop this morning was the mall for some shopping and a carousel ride. Sporting his new cut...

And playing at Gymboree

Morgan was at Mrs. April's today. It is just easier to get some of these things done with only one kiddo in tow.

Friday Fun

Morgan has been running fever since yesterday so we are going to the doctor at 4:00 but that is not the fun part of today. We have been cooped up in the house the last two days trying to let the Motrin kick Morgan's fever so I thought it would be good to get out for a little while today, head to the mall and let the kids have a little fun on the carousel. Morgan is a big fan of the carousel but this was a first for Graham so I wasn't sure how he would do. We walked up to the carousel and Graham started crying. It made me giggle because a couple days ago we walked out of our neighborhood to a nearby pasture with horses and Graham was terrified of them and just screamed. So today I think he had flashbacks to the real horses he met the other day. We went ahead and got onto the carousel and I got them strapped onto their horses. Graham cried the first half of the ride but ended the ride with a big grin. When we were leaving he was twisting out of the stroller trying to keep his eyes on the horses like he was watching his back. It was so funny! Morgan was the good sister that she is...She kept telling him that he was okay and that the horses weren't real. Thinking back to when Morgan was Graham's age she cried too and wouldn't ride the horses either. She would only ride on the benches on the carousel. They are alike in so many ways...

See-sawing

Not too sure about this...

Telling Graham he will be okay! Love the little helper that she is!!

It was a good little outing for all of us! Now everyone is napping and then to the doctor we go.

Weekend with the Grandparents

The kids love every minute they get to spend with their grandparents and this weekend was a great weekend full of "grandparent time." Nonny and Gramps came to stay with us and the kids were excited to have them in town as were we!

Here a some pictures of the kids from the weekend...

Blowing bubbles and waiting for Nonny and Gramps to arrive...



Graham is loving his golf clubs these days. Nonny and Gramps played a lot of golf with him over the weekend. :)

Being silly...

It is still hard to get Morgan to let us take pictures of her...I love capturing her beautiful smile...wish it wasn't so hard. :)!!

Graham is finally showing a little interest in books...but he still doesn't sit still for long.

Morgan's friend Emmerson Loeffler had a her 2nd birthday party on Saturday afternoon so Bryan and I took her to the party and Nonny and Gramps kept Graham at home.

After we got home we headed out to play a little tee ball...

And had some ice cream...

It was a fun day full of golf, tee ball, playing in the back on the play house and roller coaster, going on walks and wagon rides, bubbles, and more....

They love their Nonny! And Gramps! Not sure where he was hiding during this picture. :)

It was a fun couple of days. Can't wait to see them on Easter weekend!

On Sunday afternoon we went to Gammy and Pop's house to hang out with them. Pop's has turned their back yard into a mini golf practice area. We took the kids golf clubs and I think we all got a little practice in. :)

Ready to go to Gammy and Pop's

Our happy family!

Trying to get Pop's clubs...

Playing tee ball with Gammy...

Morgan took her backpack full of toys and they kept her busy...

After another fun afternoon with grandparents, we had pizza and headed home to relax.

It was a perfect weekend!
