Rollin, Rollin', Rollin'

(Sung to the tune of "Rawhide")

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
My little Sissie is now a rollin'
Keep them pacies comin', Sissie!
Sleepin in her Sleepsack,
And hating her tummy time,
Sissie rolled from her tummy onto her back
Of all the things for daddy to be missin',
He missed Sissie and her rollin',
But I'm sure it won't be her only roll from side to side....

Graham's First Real Boo Boo

Well, I guess it had to happen. When you start walking, sometimes you fall down. And sometimes you skin your knees. And sometimes you REALLY skin your knees. I have my first real boo boo. I was playing soutside (outside in Graham speak) in the driveway earlier this week and I tripped on my sandals and fell and skinned both of my knees. One is worse than the other. They are almost healed, but Daddy decided (Mommy told him to) take a picture of my first real boo boo. Here it is...


Daddy says that you can learn things when bad things happen. I guess I learned something. When you fall down you get hurt and then your Daddy takes a picture of it and puts it on the internet. Hmmmmmmmmm......

Smiles from Lena Grace

Yes, my baby sister, Lena Grace, has been smiling for some time, but Daddy hasn't managed to capture any of her big smiles on camera. But tonight he did. Daddy took some fun pictures of Lena when she and Mommy were sitting in the rocking chair and laughing and laughing.

Right now Lena Grace isn't laughing. She's crying. And she's really loud. And she won't stop. So I'd better go -- Daddy needs to go hold Lena Grace.

4th of July Madness

Yesterday was the 4th of July and we had lots of lots of fun at Mr. Matt and Ms. Jen's (and Evan's) house. They had a big party and lots of kids were there. We ate barbeque, and corn on the cob, and potato salad. Yummy, yummy potato salad. I even asked for more. For desert, I had part of a cream puff. Daddy gave it to me when we were inside, but I still had some cream on my hand when I went outside and Mommy saw it. I had some fruit with yummy sauce. It was sooooooooooooooooo good.

Mommy carried Sissie around in a sling. I think Sissie liked it because she could see everyone.

There were lots and lots of kids there, including a little boy named Eli who is going to be in my class at "school" next year. There was a volleyball net, and a volleyball, and badminton rackets, and a birdie. Playing with balls is one of my favorite things to do right now. And I even played badminton all by myself!



I hope everyone else had a great 4th of July too!!!!!!!!!!! Bye-bye.

The P Word

Yesterday was a special day. A week or two ago, Mommy bought me a Potty. Mommy and Daddy are teaching me how to sit on the Potty. And yesterday, I sat down on the Potty and "went Potty." Mommy was very happy. She even called Daddy so I could tell him. Now should I tell them that this is only a one time thing and that it is going to be a while until I really learn how to go Potty? Or do you think that they already know?

Anyway, enough about the P word. I am excited about July 4th. Daddy is at home and we have already had an adventure -- we went to the mall and played on the inside playground. I went down the slides and climbed on the spaceship. I had so much fun.

I have a few pictures to show you from a party we went to at my friend Clayton's grandparents' house (his parents are Dr. Jeff and Dr. Katie). It was going to be a pool party, but it rained a whole lot. So me, and Sam, and Addy played with the water in the pool by bending over and filling up measuring cups and throwing the water at each other, at the adults, and into the pool. I like those kinds of pool parties.

My Whole Life

Sissie's shirt says it all. Our whole lives are being blogged. When we do something funny or cute or even really normal, Daddy takes pictures and talks about it on here. Daddy thinks that one day we aren't going to be very happy when we look at some of these pictures that he posts on this blog. I don't think he has anything to worry about because I know that I look pretty cool in all of these pictures. And I know that my sister looks cute. So I don't know what he is worried about.



OK. So I was wrong. Daddy sometimes posts embarassing pictures. I think I probably will be mad at him about these two when I get a little older. But chicks do dig me and I thought it would be fun to where Sissie's hat. Hope it made you laugh and I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I know that we are having fun with Daddy!

Lena's 3 Month Pictures

On Sunday, Lena was three months old. She is getting so cute. I just want to hold her all the time. Well, not really. But I do like to touch her. But Mommy and Daddy will only let me touch her with one finger. I'm pretty good at only touching her with one finger, but sometimes I forget.

For Lena's three month birthday, Daddy made blueberry pancakes with fresh blueberries from the farmers' market. But, of course, Lena didn't get to have any cause she only drinks baby milk. The blueberry pancakes were sooooo yummy.

After we had pancakes, we went to see Ms. Amy Pennington, the baby photographer who took all of my pictures during my first year. If you want to see more about Ms. Amy, you can find her at www.amypennington.com, where you can see some of her pictures.

Ms. Amy took lots and lots of pictures of Lena Grace.



Lena even smiled for her in some of the pictures.

Ms. Amy took a couple of pictures of me and Lena in this little seat. It was the perfect size for me. It was a little crowded when Lena got in it with me. But I held on to her. Because she is my sissie. And I have to look out for her.

When Ms. Amy was taking pictures of Sissie, I decided she needed a hairbrush, so I went to Mommy's bag and got the brush and took it to her. Then I tried to get in the picture too, but Daddy wouldn't let me.

Sometimes a guy just has to brush his hair. I guess I am trying to be like Daddy when he was growing up -- carrying a hair brush everywhere.


I can't believe Sissie is already three months old. That means I must really be old. Almost 22 months. Can you believe it?
