Graham's words at 16 months

Graham started walking the day before he was officially 16 months. He was in no hurry to be mobile. It started out looking like Frankenstein but he is a lot more comfortable roaming around now. He will be running in no time!

His first word was ow
daddy
ouch
uh-ho
oh-no
no
mama and mommy
pease-please
puff
nana-banana
a ka ka- cracker or cookie
baby
I-wa-dow- I want down
me-mow- mickey mouse
roar
wuff-wuff- dog
moo moo
duck
cack cack- duck
mow mow mow- meow
car
shoes

He knows his head, nose, eyes, ears, mouth, toes, belly and sticks his tongue out when you ask where his tongue is.  He loves to wave but hates it whenever daddy leaves.


He loves his Mickey Mouse.  I don't mind, who doesn't love Mickey?  I think it's cute because he's never watched the cartoons or anything.  It was all from a pair of pajamas and a book.

He currently likes to hide things around the house.  Often in drawers or cupboards, sometimes the washing machine.  The funniest was Andy's key-card for work.  We looked everywhere and the next day we were in the kitchen and Graham came in and started to play in the Tupperware cupboard again, and then we noticed he is retrieving the key-card. He hid it in there, the one place we didn't check.

Special day for Max

Max had his special birthday this year.  He turned lucky number 8. He also chose to be baptized. We had such an amazing day, filled with the spirit and lots of love.  I'm so proud of my buddy.  His testimony is so pure and strong, he really understood the covenants he was making.  I hope that he will always remember this day and how he felt.  It was amazing! We are so grateful for the family members that made the effort to be here and support Max.  We have amazing friends, primary teachers and leaders.  Way to go Max!!! Eight is GREAT! I love my family and the Gospel.  

 I made a Baymax cake for the boys birthday to celebrate with family when we got back from California.  It turned out better than I thought it would. It was super fun to make!

I need to find the other pictures but I figured it was better to try and catch up on all of these events and add pics later.
