4 Months

Graham is really changing quickly these days! He is growing, squealing, and grabbing things more tightly with his hands. If I don't keep his fingernails cut short enough, his grip can be painful! A new thing he does when he rolls onto his stomach is to try to pull his knees up under him and push forward, inchworm-style. Graham has been going to the church nursery pretty regularly on Sundays. He's usually the only one in his 0-4 month class, so he gets a lot of special attention from his two teachers. Since he seems to do okay with that, I took him to the Kids Club at the gym yesterday. At the gym, the procedure is for the childcare staff to track down parents when babies cry for more than 15 minutes or when diapers are dirty. Graham made it through my entire group fitness class! He was whimpering a little when I went to pick him up, but they said he had been good. They must have put him through a baby workout because he fell fast asleep as soon as we got in the car.

In the picture, Graham is just hanging out in bed, watching a little Good Morning America. He is waiting to have the left side of his hair rewashed because of a spitup situation. He spits up a few times a week in his crib, and his hair usually ends up getting involved in the mess.
