Grahams First Birthday

For your first birthday we just got the family together at Grandmas house and had cake and cheesburgers (at Markies request). You were the spotlight and loved your new presents.

Graham, we can't believe you are already one year old. Time went by so fast. Probably because you are such an easy baby. You are calm and mild tempered. You are easily pleased. You will sit in your high chair or crib forever and just play. But you still are a huge goof ball and you are getting to be a little dramatic. That's why we call you our 'Big Faker'. You are our Baby Graham, Grahamie, Grahammers, Teddy Graham, Granimals, and Chicken Little.

You have big green eyes like your mommy and the longest curly eyelashes. Your eyes are always sparkly. You always have your toungue out and your eyebrows furrowed. You love to play with your big brother. You and your Daddy are the bestest friends. You are so skinny but so strong.

Nothing is too tall or hard for you to climb.When i hear you screaming I find you on top of something. You often push the stool from the bathroom out of the room and into another to climb up on something. The stairs were no big deal for you. Up and down you go all day following Markie. You want to do everything he does. Brush teeth, ride bikes, play ball, play action figures.

You have nine little teeth that you grind together making me squirm. You say Hi Daddy, Mama, Hi Doggy, Ba ba, and Uh oh. You love to make the noises for cars, animals, and monsters.

You love babies and little children. You love pointing to all the pages when I read books to you.

You can shake what your mama gave ya. Any music we turn on you just dance your little heart out. Even though you can walk you know you can crawl even faster. People always laugh when they see you dart across the floor.

You will only cuddle with Uncle Rico and random strangers not your Mommy and Daddy. You love sleeping in your crib. I love that you get jealous if Daddy, Markie, or another baby is holding me. But my most favorite of all is watching you with your brother. You guys love eachother so much. I always turn around to see your little hand holding his across the back seat. You are so much the same. Sweet and kind. I hope you will always stay close to the spirit and to your family. I love you Grahamers.
