8 Months Already?
Here are some pics of Graeme at 8 months (plus 10 days). Getting a picture of him sitting still is a little harder than it used to be.

Baptism Part I
Graeme was baptized on Sunday. We had the whole family up for the event, including both sets of grandparents, Great Grandma, the Chris and Meg clan, and Ryan, Tommi and crew.
We are happy to have our friends Paul and Kendra as Graeme's godparents and friends-in-Christ.
Most of the family pictures were taken on other family members' cameras, so we are at their mercy for other pictures from the day (hint, hint).
Swimming Update
Not sure if you can really count this as swimming (perhaps napping in the pool is a better description),
but at least you can see that Graeme is in the pool and not crying. He has been to four swimming lessons now, and the teachers tell us that he is already "swimming" like a fish. He has at least started to flap his arms and kick his legs every now and again.
Proof that Graeme has even left happy from lessons a few times.

Friends
Graeme had a lot of family in town for his baptism. He had a chance to play with all of his cousins during the course of the weekend (more pictures of these to come with the baptism post). He had a good time playing with his cousin Brayden who is only a few weeks older than he is. Graeme couldn't quite keep up with Brayden as he has already learned to crawl and walk, but we did get the two to sit still for a few photo opportunities during the weekend.
I also had to take/share this picture of Graeme. A few weeks ago we were watching TV on Sunday morning and Graeme sat nicely with his "friend" and watched one of our shows with us.

Busy Weekends
We have had a few busy weekends, including a trip to Madison, Mother's Day, and this weekend Graeme was baptized (more photos later). We did manage to have a weekend at home to hang out somewhere in all of the madness. Graeme and Dad woke up early and had a photo shoot.
I tried to catch the whole scene in the second photo, but what Graeme is actually smiling about is that Mr. Sims is just to the right of the picture. Graeme loves his puppy and most of the time he can't stop smiling/laughing at him.
Though we have had a limited amount of nice weather on the weekends so far, we have managed to get Graeme out in his new wagon that he got from Grandma Janice and Grandpa Ken for Christmas. Graeme has gone for two successful walks in the wagon (minus Graeme trying to throw the camera away without us knowing). So far he seems to really enjoy the wagon (it is a nice peaceful place to read the Savage Pacer, the local paper).
Though we haven't done any gardening yet this year, we did make one trip to the local nursery to try to get some ideas for this summer. Graeme was in a good mood (despite his face in this picture, see the picture on Matt's Facebook profile for his smiley picture) after a trip to church, so we took the opportunity to try to get a family picture.

A very happy Mother's Day
To quote the talented Andre-3000, 'Yeah this one right here goes out to all the baby's mamas, mamas...
Mamas, mamas, baby mamas, mamas'. We hope you all enjoyed your special day! Thanks for doing what you do.
I had a great first official Mother's Day. It started with breakfast in bed, followed by church, a trip to the local garden center and lots of snuggle time with Graeme. He was in a bit of a mood, thanks to a lingering ear infection, but since he helped me earn this title I let it slide. He brought me home this cute flower from school. He has a green thumb than I do already!
