Graham, growing up

Yes yes, Graham is two! He can't hold up two fingers to show you how old he is, but he can hold up his entire hand, with his pointer and middle fingers purposefully touching each other, and then use his other hand to point to those two fingers, to indicate that yes, he is two.

He can do a lot of stuff. You want to see him climb up the ladder at the back of our swing set? [The camera work isn't great because I kept almost deciding to grab him.]


You want to see him run around the house with his shirt off, while squeezing his nipples? We see that every single night, but here he is:

We will *CERTAINLY* use that for our own purposes when he is in high school and college.

You want to see him sleeping with his new tiger that is even bigger than him? We got that too:


Graham is getting bigger and is making his opinions known at every opportunity. His number of go-to phrases is growing at a fast rate. Some of the new classics are:

"Oh Pete Sake!" (he says this all the time)
"Too Much Meat" (when really, really full)
"I need it" (when he wants/needs something)
"Hello Daddy" (only when I unbuckle him at home after school)
"MY DO IT!" (when you try to help him. Always a bad idea)
"My turn!" (when it is actually someone else's turn)

Here he is kind of singing. We'll try to get a better movie of this before he gets too old:


And lastly, here are the Fortney boys at the beach at sunset, from just last Friday. It was a nice time.
