Happy Halloween!

From our Family to yours...Happy Halloween. We are having a driveway party Friday night. Bring a lawn chair and a bag of candy if you are planning on stopping by our house.

8 weeks.

I think we can switch to months now when we reference his age...Here are some pictures of Graham, who is two months old. He coo's, smiles (although not for the camera), and lifts his head with much more control.

Who do I look like more?

Kelly Brian

Graham

Meeting Evan

The meeting of the next generation of friends! Abby and I have known eachother since elementary school and now we both have little boys! What fun they will have growing up with one another!

7 Weeks Old and Ready for Halloween

Mclain and Hudson visit Graham

Kari and her kids stayed with us this past weekend. Wow, I am not sure how people have three children. It was a great weekend, the weather was perfect and we played outside between naps and feedings. Mclain kept saying..."Play me, play me." Mclain did help as pictured moving mulch, watering the grass and palm trees.

Breakfast with Babe

Kelly's Mom incorporated a Sip and See for Graham during her Red-Hat retreat this weekend. Six of Mama Deb's close friends donned red hats, offered hugs, gifts, advice, and warnings followed by reassurance.

Road Trip

Can you believe all this for our first night away from home, with child? We traveled to Jacksonville to stay with Kelly's Mom.


Kelly's Sister, Aunt Shannon had us over for lunch and was able to bottle-feed Graham.


Aunt Jenna and Graham

Kelly, Avery, Aunt Stacy, and Graham. Avery and Graham share the same birthday.


Great Grandma, Gah-Ga and Graham discussed the current state of the world's affairs.

Hip click no more...

His right femoral head is seated within the acetabulum. However, coverage is 42% on the right. The alpha angle of the right is 55 degrees, the left is 63 degrees and coverage is 50%. There is however no evidence on either of frank subluxation or dislocation at rest or with stress maneuvers.

Now they are watching the angle of his hip socket. It has gotten greater on both side from the original ultrasound yet his right hip socket shows a 55 degrees (48 a month ago) and his left is 63 (60 a month ago). "Normal" is considered 60 degrees and greater.

We go back after the first of the year for another check up, hopefully the doctor's Beammer will be paid off and we can get the final release.
Here is Mama Deba feeding Graham lunch.

One day compared to thirty-seven days old.

Bath Time

I am happy to say this is only a weekly event.




Slippery when wet.

Five Weeks

Wow, time sure does go fast when you have a newborn child living...I mean feeding, crying, pooping, crying, feeding, peeing, pooping, sleeping, crying, feeding at home.

I never realized how much work it would be just to find the time to take a shower!

As of this week he is sleeping a bit more but still does not like to put down if he is awake, he prefers you hold him. We are accepting applications.

Smiles

Although the photos are not the best, here is a show of Graham's recent smiles.

Aunt Elise and Uncle Adam

Our friends, Adam and Elise, came to visit from St. Louis. They coined the name "Baby J" which we called Graham during pregnancy.
