Uh-oh

Graeme has been crawling up a storm lately. Most days he does pretty well navigating the many obstacles our non-baby proofed house has to offer, until now. He bumped his head on the entertainment center and has a good size gash on his eyebrow.



Graeme was also sent home early today with a low-grade fever. It worked out that his 9 month checkup was scheduled for the afternoon so we could get it checked out. The doctor concluded that he didn't know what it was. Potentially another bug from the Petrie dish that is daycare. He is also still harboring some fluid from a previous ear infection which was also a possibility. They were still able to get through the checkup minus the vaccines, which we will schedule for a later date. Dr. Oseid steri stripped the cut on Graeme's eye to hopefully prevent any serious scaring. We think the scar will give him an edge on the playground : )

Dear Thunderstorms, Please go away.....

Thank you,

Nine Months

Graeme turned 0.75 on Monday. Here are a few pictures in his chair (he was more concerned with trying to get his giant frog that was in the lower left).

Some new highlights - Graeme now holds his own bottle (unless you try to help - then it is on you to hold it).

Graeme has also started crawling and pulling himself up on whatever he can.

Happy birthday Grammers!

More Road Trip With a Bummer Ending

Here are a few more pictures from our trip to Madison a few weeks ago.

The second one is a good indication of what happens when you try to take too many pictures - hair pulling, crying, etc.

After a long car ride (i.e. a four hour nap) Graeme was in a good mood, so we took advantage of the opportunity to take a family photo.

Unfortunately when we got home, we found that our air condition was not working. Our house was 85 degrees when we got home on Sunday - yikes.

Here is a sweaty Graemebo after he had calmed down from the all of the excitement.

Fortunately we were able to fix the air conditioner the next day at a not too costly price.

Baptism Part II

So we are only about a month late in posting Part II, but better late than never right?

Saturday before the baptism, Graeme had all of his cousins over to play. We managed to get one good picture before the tears started.

We also wanted to make sure that we were able to post the family pictures that people shared with us.

Tredinnick Family

Woode Family

Just us.

Friends in Christ (Graeme is waving to the camera in this one - or maybe just scratching his head - TBD)

Road trip

This past weekend was spent in Madison. Graeme and I participated in the Race for the Cure with Grandma Janice, Auntie Tommi, Cousin's Trish and Patricia. We walked in memory of my Aunt Pat who we lost to breast cancer many years ago. I have been terrible at taking pictures as of late so hopefully one of the others in the group can help me out. It was a great event. Tons of people, decent weather and lots of freebies! We walked the 5k course and even ran into grandpa Kim who's company sponsored a water station along the route.

And we're off!


A photo op in front of the Capitol. Graeme borrowed A pink hat from Patricia for the occasion.

Memorial day and developments

My gmail account got hacked a couple of weeks ago and it took me until now to get my mobile blogging capabilities back. Here we go!

We spent a lot of Memorial Day either entertaining or being entertained. Trevor and Alyssa were in town for a wedding but hung out with us during their downtime. We tried Burger Jones for dinner. It was delicious. Graeme just had a coaster...






We spent a lot of time watching TV or the guys play video games. Graeme just had a remote...






We met Kristen, Tom, Maddie and Jacey at the horse track on Saturday. Although the weather was being difficult, we had a good time. Sitting in section 'g'.













In other news, we are going to have a crawler on our hands soon! Graeme has been getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth...only to sit back down for several weeks now. In addition, he's starting to pull himself up on things. I'm sure once we get rid on this darn ear infection (started prescription number three for the same infection this week!) Graeme will be able to focus on his development vs. trying to get healthy.
