fall happenings

I am trying to be better at taking pictures of the kids with my real camera this fall. We have had an exciting fall so far. We took the kids to the Clemson/UNC game a few weeks ago. The weather was perfect and the kids did much better than I thought. We tailgated and then Paul and Georgia went inside the game while Graham and I continued to tailgate:) As you can see, we were a house divided that day. Clemson is such a beautiful school and a special place to me. I always enjoy when we get to go back to visit. 

Just last week, we took the kids to a pumpkin patch. My in-laws came with us as well. Georgia loved the hayride, playground and petting the animals. By far though, her favorite thing was riding the pony. She is not a shy child by any means. We could hear her little voice just chatting up a storm with the man that was walking the pony she was on. 

Hope your fall is off to a great start!

5 months

Graham is now 5 months old and is getting so big! Below are some updates on what Graham has been doing. I am documenting these stats here because I had part of my blog printed for Georgia's first year and I plan to do the same for Graham. I have a formal baby book for Graham too just as I did for Georgia, but this space allows me to include a few more details month to month. 

Graham stats:

1 month 9 lbs 10 oz - 22.5 inches

2 months 11 lbs 7 oz - 23 inches

4 months 15 lbs 13 oz - 24.75 inches

What Graham has been up to:

Rolling from back to front and front to back

Wearing size 6 months clothes

Had first taste of rice cereal and seemed to like it

Love looking at books

Teething :)

Had first little sickness (yucky cough)

Smiling all the time

Lots of big blowouts - one on the bumbo chair that mommy took outside to hose down

4 months

Somehow you are already 4 months old, Graham.  A major milestone you hit this month was rolling over. You can roll from your back to your tummy. You are quite the talker - jib jabbering away! The giggles you give us are just precious. We love you chubby baby. Happy 4 months!

What Graham has been up to:
-Rolling from back to tummy
-Talking up a storm
-Giggling at mommy, daddy and Georgia
-Loving the bumbo chair
-Loving story time (Brown Bear, Brown Bear is a favorite)
-Loving mommy riding in the backseat :)

school and dance

School is now in session. Georgia just started PK3 and she was so excited to 'move up'. I look forward to all the many things she will learn this year.  She also just started dance this week. Tuesday morning she woke up and ran in our bedroom screaming "I'm so excited! I have dance today"! Her school offers dance class which works great with our  work schedules. She is taking tap and ballet. When I picked her up from school she talked non-stop about her dance class. What a fun year it is going to be!

glimpse into our summer

Labor Day always kicks off fall in my mind. I was not good about taking pictures with my 'real' camera this summer. Hopefully I'll be better throughout the fall.  I had hoped to do a Tweetsie Railroad post, and a beach trip post, and document all the other fun things we did this summer, but time just slipped away. Here is a little glimpse into what we did this summer. Cheers to fall!
