1 Month Old

We've made it to one month with Graham! Feels like it has been a week! He sure has added so much to our family that we are grateful for. Such a sweet spirit that comes from having a newborn in the house. He has already changed and grown and I know he will continue to change every time I blink! He loves his binky, is getting the idea about sleeping most of the night (with a wake up or two to eat), with some serious nursing pain he is mostly eating pumped milk from bottles and nursing at night, and he loves to be held all day! At 10 days old he had made it to 7lb 3oz after he dropped to 6lb 14oz a few days after he was born. He has just gone up since them I'm sure! His brothers and sister still love to hold him and have been very good with him, even Nate! We love our little Bubbee!

March Catchup!

We spent a lot of time at home this month with a few excursions! Trying to keep this babe home as much as possible! 

Nate calls Graham his "Bubbee." THE cutest thing ever.

 Bada sent us this delicious fruit basket and I had to take a picture. It tasted even better than it looked!

 I am allergic to mosquitoes I swear. I had unicorn head for 2 days!

 Lots of Graham pictures!

 My baby holder.

 Not on purpose I'm pretty sure, but caught some little smiles from this guy!

 We had a pinewood derby coming up and no tools, and only rare moments Dan is able to work on these things, so we ran down for a few hours one Saturday to borrow Bumpa's tools and make Levi's car.

 Aunt Kellie made her a poppy hat from Trolls. She loved it!

 We sang to Nate after dinner since his birthday was the following day.

 We ran to the library to pick up a few books from a series Levi has been hooked on and decided to stop by the park next door before heading in the car. Graham slept and they had a blast getting out!

 My favorite time of the night. I love my kiddos, but after the olders go to bed, this is when I really get to enjoy my baby! Love him so much!

 Pinewood derby was a fun success! Levi's car won second 9/14 heats, first in 2, and I believe 3rd in 2. Anyways, he is already planning out his next one. We have a guy in our ward who raced his nationally, so we had some good competition!

 His supporters. They LOVED it. Glued for 60 races!

 Millie giving Makayla a hug!

 They boys didn't have school on Friday, and mom feeling bad they are so cooped up most of the time, decided to brave the 5 verse 1 and we went to the aquarium. We made it! No one got lost, and Graham slept the entire time. It went so well, we met Dan for lunch afterwards. Love these kiddos!

 She would not touch the star fish but she ran up to hold the snake....yuck!

 Feeding the stingrays

 Our mini dad while Dan is at school. He really steps it up those nights and helps get kids teeth brushed, jammies, stories, and even wrestles with them. It gets tricky sometimes when Graham is in a cranky mode to get them all to bed. Thank heavens for this little man!
