video recap

so as most of you have noticed, i've been a little delinquent in updating my blog recently.  disclaimer, it's been busy at work, busy at home, busy going to doctors appointments, busy with derby, etc.  all in life has been a little hectic lately.  throw in the the holidays and WOAH, i need a vacation!!!  

soooo, what being delinquent in postings means is being delinquent in taking pictures as well.  luckily we were able to capture some fun moments in the dudes life on video.  enjoy this video recap!

(as another disclaimer, please note that you can change the resolution of each video to 1080p for more clarity, and please ignore.....ME!)

showing off his dancin moves!

lost in the hustle

so somehow in all the hustle and bustle at home and work i forgot to mention a HUGE milestone accomplishment.  the dude is a full time WALKER!!!!  

here are some of graham's first steps that were taken on november 26th.  i'm calling that the official first steps date, since he's been running ever since.

no more crawling for this dude!

happy feet

woah!  first steps captured with my camera completely by accident!!!

he's definitely a big dude now!!

indie 500

so not too long ago we had to move the dude's dino walker for him whenever he ran into an obstacle.  NOT ANYMORE!!!  the dude puts his back into it to whip the dino around and go in the direction he wants.  his other favorite thing is running into people when they're sitting on the floor.  yeah, we're trying to break that one!

we don't have walking on our own yet, but i'm hoping a little more practice with his dino and we'll be good to go.  he's getting better about letting go of things after he's stablized himself standing up, but he just doesn't really know to pick his feet up yet and get them moving.  soon enough!

on the move!

it won't be long now until we have a full-time walker on our hands!!

i highly recommend this little dino too.  the dude somehow knew what to do the very first time he was put in front of it.  doesn't tip over when he pulls up or anything.  it's great!!  and he's so proud of himself when he walks to you from across the room!  :)

high steppin'

splish splash

today we took the little dude to the pool for the very first time.  we weren't sure how he was going to react, but we thought it might be something positive since he loves his baths so much.  luckily for us we got there right as the pool opened, so there was no one else in the pool causing a ruckus for the dude.  

there was definitely some hesitation at first, i think just because the water was so deep.  but once he got used to it, he LOVED it!  he was splashing and holding onto the side of the pool.  he even did some walking!!!  seriously...he was walking in the water while holding onto our fingers!!

all in all, it was a great success.  we plan on going back everyday the rest of the week to get him used to the water.  we might even try to go in the big kid pool towards the end of the week!!
