Graham - 11 weeks

It is about time...I've been dressing Graham in cozy pajamas, but finally I'm putting him in clothes! He is such a cute little boy in jeans and a button up shirt. He is growing out of 3-6 month clothes and so we are now getting into 6 month things.

Alex's sister, Kate, says that he looks a lot like my dad. I agree!

Cozy cuddles with Graham

I absolutely love when Graham settles into a nap laying on my chest. It is so cozy!


Warm January trip to the zoo


It has been quite warm in January!

We made a trip out to the zoo and walked around for a bit.

Ruby loves feeding the birds!


Here she is being super sweet to her baby brother. Such a good big sister!

Tea party with friends

A few weeks ago one of Ruby's friends invited us over for a tea party and playtime. Here are the girls playing dress up.

Graham's new seats


At nearly 3 months old, Graham is getting better at holding up his head. So, we are slowly introducing him to new seats...

The BUMBO...



The rainforest jumperoo...

Ruby's new dance and movement class

Ruby just started a new dance and movement class. She loves it! Here they are jumping into hula hoops.

Ralena's birthday lunch in Edom


A few weeks ago we met Alex's Aunt Ralena in Edom to celebrate her birthday.

Here are the cousins enjoying lunch.

Ralena gave Ruby some fun things to add to her dress up box.

Happy Birthday Ralena!

Graham's new talents

For a few weeks now Graham has been exploring his hands and now likes to grasp them together and bring them up to his face. He also reaches out for my face and his toys.


Alex and I think that Graham sometimes looks like a flattened frog with his big belly! So cute.





Blowing bubbles all the time.

Graham Tummy Time - 10 weeks

Graham does not enjoy tummy time, but I managed to catch a few shots of him being happy.

He smiles so much...especially when he sees himself in the mirror, when I massage his feet and chat with him, when he hears Ruby talking and when he is being carried in the Baby Bjorn.

Graham Portraits - 9 weeks


Graham is 9 weeks old now. He is still eating and sleeping really well. In the last week he has slept 4 nights out of 7 from about 10 pmto 7 am. We think he is getting close to sleeping through the night!

He smiles a lot and has started cooing. He loves when we talk back and forth.

He can hold little plastic rings and likes his bouncer and swing. Occasionally we do tummy time and he is getting pretty good at holding up his neck.

He eats between 4-6 oz every 3 hours during the day and goes for long stretches at night.

He is now in size 2 diapers, size 3-6 month clothes (at least for another week or so!). We have his dr.checkup this week and will find out how much he has grown!

Graham and the letter "G" from Leah

Leah sent Graham a letter 'G' pillow from London. Thanks Leah!

Gift from Aunt Cel

My Aunt Cel sent Graham this beautiful blanket. Thank you!

Goodells visit on New Years Weekend





My parents visited us on New Years weekend. They got to snuggle Graham and play with Ruby. We really enjoyed their visit!

They brought lots of fun gifts for all of us! Ruby loved opening more packages.











Ruby got a cute ballerina doll that attaches to her feet so they can dance together.





Graham has been all smiles lately.

Ruby and Mama

Ruby and I enjoying a hug!

Graham's first trip to Canton



We took Graham for his first Canton trip. He slept most of the time in the baby carrier.


It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed walking around and looking at treasures.




Ruby loved being able to run and explore.

Christmas Day with the Macnabs and Robersons

We spent Christmas afternoon with Alex's parents and the Robersons. Di made a delicious meal and we all opened lots of packages.

Everyone enjoying the cozy living room.



Doing Christmas crackers.


Three generations...Bob, Alex and Graham.















Two well-behaved cousins.

Santa stopped by the Macnab house. Such fun for the kiddos!



Merry Christmas 2011!


Ruby helps Graham with his stocking

Ruby helped Graham with his stocking.
They look so cute together in their Christmas pajamas. (Graham was a bit large for his though...I had no idea when I bought them that he would already be in size 3-6 month stuff at 7 weeks old!)


Santa came to the Macnab house

We had such a nice Christmas morning. Ruby ran to the stairs when I told her it was Christmas and Santa had come and brought presents. This is the first year she understood this!

Before packages we had a nice breakfast. And Graham slept through all the presents.

One thing Santa brought was a bicycle...She also got loads of dress up clothes, a guitar and many other treasures!





Time for stockings...













Graham's first Christmas

Graham and I got up early Christmas morning before Ruby. I snapped a few pics of him in his Christmas pajamas and Santa hat. Then he slept through all the package opening craziness!
