So awhile ago I thought Graham was teething because he kept getting cranky, apparently that wasn't because of teething, he was just mad at me. I know it takes a while for teeth to come in, I've been told it takes about a month, but that was over 2 months ago, so I was wrong before. I have no idea if he'll be getting his teeth soon, I can't tell at all. He loves to chew on everything, especially his socks. He shoves as much as he can in and just chews on it and looks at me like I should be so proud of him. In my opinion he really is getting cuter each day. I didn't think it was possible, but it is. I find that to be true about a lot of things I am learning as a mom.
One thing we have been trying to do a lot of is eating. Graham hasn't grown a lot since last month so we're trying to get him to eat more. He is doing pretty good so far and it makes me happy. I took these pictures one day when I wasn't patient enough to wait for him to open his mouth for each bite. He used to take 2 bites of food and he was done, he would refuse to open his mouth and I would do my best to not get frustrated. I usually did pretty good but this day I didn't know what to do. He had to eat, he had to gain weight, so I just dumped his sweet potatoes on the tray and let him do the work. I'm not sure how much he actually got in his mouth, but ever since then he has been eating better. Not that I think this helped much, but he enjoyed it so it was worth it.
Yes, he sits in the high chair with his feet up every time. I do not know why. He also smears the food on his face every time. Sometimes between each bite, sometimes when he is done. He does this when I spoon feed him too. So far he has liked all the veggies, although he prefers to not each green beans by themselves. He loves apples. I know I need to feed him more fruits, but I really want him to like the vegetables and get used to eating those everyday. I'm still learning, I don't really know what I am doing most of the time but thankfully Graham loves me anyways. Here's to eating lots and hopefully gaining weight this next month (I know I have no problem gaining weight this time year)

The messy eating phase seemed never-ending to me, but it does end and these pictures are SO cute I find myself wanting time to slow down, too. It doesn't, though. Darn. Graham is really cute... and seriously beautiful. Like just a perfect little face.
Don't worry Loni no one really knows what they are doing. We are all winging it. Piper didn't gain weight for well and it is hard when you are trying to get them to eat. I think us Olsons just have little kids. He is so adorable. I think he is getting cuter. Wish we were closer.
I love the picture with the blob on his nose and the blob on his chin looking at you like "What? Doesn't everybody put food on their face?" He'll grow honey..............just take a short walk everyday holding him and you'll appreciate his size! He's perfect!
