7 months old

My baby boy is officially 7 months old. It is bittersweet. I love watching him grow and learn new things but everyday it's just a reminder that he won't be my little baby very much longer. 

It's rather ironic because just 7 months ago we came home with our little boy... Those days were hard. Our boy had colic and between that and being new parents it was a very difficult time. But we got through it! And let me tell you it was so worth it! I kind of already have baby fever again! But don't worry number 2 won't be happening yet. Still want to enjoy my sweet baby boy Graham before we make him a big brother, forever! Lol. 

Graham is the sweetest boy ever. Preston and I both love him so much and are so thankful God entrusted us with this precious little life. It is my and Preston's prayer that Graham grows up accepting then Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. 

Preston has been really busy with work and school. We found out that we has another semester added to his 2 that he has left because Chico state is lame and makes you stay another semester taking pointless classes that have nothing to do with your major. We just want to be done and moved on from school! I guess i just have to be patient. After Preston graduates me hopes to get a job at a accounting firm. We are looking to re-locate our family to out of state. We are seriously looking at the Boise Idaho area. The "big 4" accounting firms are there, cost of living is better, family friendly, lots more to do there as far as outside goes and entertainment for families. Preston and I have lived in the same area pretty much all our lives so it will be so fun to experience something different. And it is only 9 hours away from gridley/yuba city so it will still be pretty close to family! We will see. 

That's all for now. :)

I am still here

I know, I've really been slacking on the blog posts lately. I have really good intentions of keeping it up but life just gets so busy with an almost 7 month old. We have been keeping pretty busy lately. We went to the pumpkin patch which was so fun. Brooks and Andrea and the kids came down for a couple days which was so much fun! It was great seeing them. We got our family pictures taken and Graham's 6 month pictures. They turned out so amazing! Graham started solids 2 days before he turned 6 months old. Preston really wanted to wait until the 6 month mark but I just was so excited I couldn't wait. His first taste of food was banana and he absolutely loved it. He is such a great eater. He loves sweet potatoes, carrots, mango, pear, butternut squash, apple, spinach, his oatmeal cereal in the mornings. He rolls around everywhere! Not crawling yet but he can push himself up with his arms. He is such a great sleeper too. He sleeps in our room but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way right now. When he isn't right next to me I sleep horribly because I am always waiting for him to wake up. So we both sleep better right next to each other. And it makes his night time feelings so much easier because neither of us have to fully wake up. He only wakes up about 1 time to eat. He is sick a happy boy. He responds to his name, gives kisses when we ask for them. Loves watching people. Loves to be on the move. Is super curious and doesn't like to miss anything. We just put his swing away. No more naps in that. It was bittersweet putting it away but now we have much more room in the living room for him to roll around and play which is nice.
