Happy 21 Month, Graham!

Today our little Graham turns 21 months old and we are on the downhill slide toward him turning the big TWO! Graham continues to light up our lives (literally- he is still obsessed with turning on lights everywhere we go) and bring much joy to our home. He has a sweet way about him that is difficult to put into words... he seems to always be smiling and you can't help but smile back at him.

This past month has not been monumental in the way of milestones and developments. It just seems as though Graham is getting better and better at things he was already doing. He continues to use more words and longer phrases every day. He is adding more songs to his repertoire. And we feel that he comprehends about 99% of everything we say to him. He has started singing along with Jack's prayer each night at dinner and loves to do his prayer hands and say, "Amen." We find that sweet and hope that he will grow to have a very strong prayer life in the future.

Current favorite things- Going to the gym (he squeals like a little girl and almost dances his way in!), blankie (which he refers to as "blank"), binkie (which he refers to as "bink" and which we need to get rid of!!!!), playing "owside" with his car and going on walks. He especially loves finding puddles of water or piles of dirt to play in. This kid is all boy!! He loves going to the park and is getting very good at climbing ladders by himself. He is also loving going to small group. He enjoys all of the friends there but seems to have a special fascination with Stella. One time I asked him whose boy he was and he answered, "Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Not so fast, little one, you are still mommy's boy for awhile longer!
