Growing Graham: 4 Months

August 6, 2012
4 months



Graham is sucking on his hands all the time now. Sometimes he'll get his fingers in too far & gag himself, but he's not doing it on purpose... Yet.






He's also discovered his feet and toes. When he lays on his back he'll pull his feet up to his hands, roll over to his side, and then let go. He does that over and over again. When he lays in his play gym, he grabs his dangling toys with both of his feet as well as both of his hands. It's too funny.




We've also discovered a little brown dot on his scalp, right on top of his head. I'm pretty sure it's a mole. It sure is cute!

He's wiggling everywhere. The other day he almost squirmed out of his swing. I guess we'll have to be sure to buckle him in from now on!


"Umm, hey Mom, I'm not sure what happened here..."


He's started pushing himself up onto his knees, but he can't quite get his hands underneath himself yet. So instead, he just starts pushing himself around with his face on the floor. We have to keep an eye on him, because if we don't he'll wind up in a completely different place than we left him.



The other Sunday at church, Graham joined in for every one of the hymns we sang. Then he didn't want to stop. So after the organ had stopped playing and everyone was closing the hymn books and preparing for the next part of the meeting, there was Graham, still "singing" away. Loudly, might I add. He loved it.


"Hey guys!!!! Guess what!!!"


He talks a lot more than ever. And he loves when people smile at him. He cheeses it up and gives the biggest, cutest toothless grin I've ever seen. 


"Well, my dear Watson..."


He's also started giggling. But it's not always consistent. He has to be in a good mood, not tired, and sometimes when tickled he'll laugh. Otherwise he'll either start crying, or he'll just hold his breath and grunt while turning bright red.

Laundry day....


We love this boy more and more every day! He's a good napper. He loves to be held by other people. And his hair is still red as ever.
