One month doctor's visit.

Graham did very well at the doctor's office Monday. Very little crying for an appointment that took two hours.

Graham weighed 9.7 today (50th percentile) and 22 and a quarter long (75%) and Head was 10th to 25th percentile.

There are NINE of us now!

My sister and her family came to meet Graham this past weekend. The weekend was complete with grilling out, swimming, and two boat rides. It was a bit hetic with nine people! (Babo, Gee, Kari, Shannon, Mclain, Hudson, Brian, Kelly, and Graham)

Meeting Auntie Julie

"Auntie" Julie came to visit and meet Graham all the way from Tucson, AZ. She brought us the a great baby gift... a treat from Friendly's ice cream shop!

Another Babysitter...

Kelly's Mom took duty of watching Graham for his second babysitting appointment. Kelly and I attended our Dinner Club, child free, Thursday night. Our first dinner and night out since he was born.

Kelly celebrated with two classes of Pino.

Meeting my Great-Grandmother

Four Generations does not happen often. Here is a picture of Kelly, her Mom, her Grandmother, and Graham at their first meeting.

Nemours Pediatric

The Nemours Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Neal said everything was normal and there does not appear to be a problem with Graham's "hip click". Dr. was very nice, timely, and surprised that the radiologist had refereed Graham to see a specialist. He said the ultrasounds are a great tool and very sensitive. We have a follow up appointment when Graham is six weeks old.

We went to Wendy's to celebrate even though we met the Chick-fil-a Cow on our way out of the hospital.

Good marketing sometimes can not override another drive-thru's geographical, convenient locale.

Photo Update

A picture is worth a 1,000 words, plus the six words on the t-shirt.

My first babysitter.

My Mom, called "Gee" by my nephews, watched Graham today for Kelly's post-op appointment. She said he was great even though he peed on her!

All checked out fine for Kelly, she is healing nicely.

My first sponge bath.


Graham's room is completed, now that we know his name. Yet still sleeping in our room with me. Kelly has opted for the recliner in another spare bedroom.


Aunt Kari, Uncle Shannon, and Mclain and Hudson sent a huge box of choclate covered strawberries!ALL is well in our household.

Making Mommy's lunch.

This is Graham helping in the kitchen today. I just realized that I am posting a pic of him unbuckled--it was only done for the picture, don't call family services on us...yet.

Thanks Aunt Abby for my swing.

My first Doctors Visit.

Everything went well at Tuesday's check up--Graham weighed 8 lbs, 2 oz and cleared of any signs of jaundice. Follow up next week and got a referral for a click in his hip to see a ortho. Graham did not cry at all until we got home...he was hungry!

We arrived home to receive his first duck, piggy bank from Aunt Elise and Uncle Adam.

Home Sweet Home

Graham propped his feet up while waiting on discharge paperwork.

We left the hospital today around 1pm. We were welcomed home by a balloon bouquet.

He passed out during the dinner burping session.
