My new sandbox

Thank you to Babo (Brian's Dad) and
Gee (Brian's Mom) for the sandbox and
Deba for the trucks! Graham was saying
"loader" for the truck while he filled it with sand.
He spent an hour in the sandbox today playing
with his new shovels and pots. When I asked
are you "all done playing", he replied, "No."
I think he likes it!

Blue Spring Manatees

We took a field trip to Blue Springs State Park
to see the manatees and boy did we see a lot.
We probably saw at least 50 manatees. We had
a great time with our friends Sam and Mia.

16 months

16 months! Graham is talking up a storm!
He's acquiring new words everyday. He
currently loves construction vehicles-
especially "bulldoz" (bulldozers). He actually says
the three syllable word "bulldozer" sometimes. He
really likes anything with wheels...he is all boy!
He'll point out trucks, motorcycles, and even a
"backhoe" (construction truck) around town. He
is also combining lots of two word phrases, "choo-choo
boom." What a fun age!

My New Table

Janie, Gee, saved an old table for us to use for
art projects and reading. Brian painted the table
and it looks good as new. Thanks, Gee and Daddy!
Graham has enjoyed coloring and painting at his new table.

The Children's Museum

We have gone several times to our local museum's kids wing. Graham
likes the motorcycle the best!

My new toys!

Graham was so excited about his new toys
that when he woke up at 3:45 AM and I asked
him "What do you want?" he replied, "Toys!"
Deba got us the quad bike, Shannon got us the
wagon, and "Great Aunt Lynn" got us the rocket.
Thank you for all our riding toys!

Christmas in Jax. continued

Graham started to get the concept
of opening presents and ripping paper.
He enjoyed his new books with everyone.
