Learning So Much!

A New Year of Fun!

So, January has been a busy month! So sorry we haven't kept in touch! So...here is a quick peek into the past few weeks.

First of all, my birthday was New Year's Eve! I turned two! Since Mommy and Daddy have been super busy with our new lives, Gam'ma and Gam'pa helped to put on a party at their house! It was all about Elmo and, of course, ME! We had a great time! Thanks to everyone who came and for all of the work to put it on!

Let's party!


The cupcakes look great, Gam'ma. But, do I have to EAT them?

This is gunna be fun!

Thanks for coming Poppy and Grandmommy! You look great in your hat!


Drew and Aunt Mel came all the way from Athens to party. Love you guys!

Drew helped me to enjoy the day. She helped me to open my gifts first.


I got some great stuff! I really love my microphone! Mommy and I have a great time playing with it at home!


My favorite part of the 'cake' was definitely the singing! 'More! More!' I requested...


Should I do it?


"Go for it!", said Drew. "I am!"


Drew really knows how to party!


Finally, I gave it a try. Not so bad...Ok, enough cake. I'm ready to play again!


Proof


The past few weeks, Graham has really been growing and changing a lot, too. I so love my baby brother!


Another night this month brought a spend the night party with Gam'ma and Gam'pa. We had a great time dancing in the living room. Man, do they have some moves!


I have a few moves of my own...



Graham and Gam'ma had a few slow dances...


Over all, we've just spent the month having fun. Here I am being silly with Mommy and Daddy after bath time. What do you think? Is this hairstyle a keeper?


To be honest, not every moment has been great. Sometimes, good times go bad. What can I say, I'm two, and I'm good at it. Mommy says time out is working, though. I'm not convinced.


Also this month, Graham has gotten to meet more of our family. Here he is meeting Great-Grandma Rodi. They fell in love on the spot.


Aunt Von really had the touch, too.

Just last weekend, we made our first road trip as a family of four to visit Mimi and Papa in Birmingham. It was too short of a trip, but we so enjoyed visiting. We got to spend time with Mimi, Papa, Dylan and Philip. Such fun!

Also, Cousin Lily and her mommy and daddy came to visit. Thanks for coming Aunt Dawn and Uncle Bill! Graham loved meeting you, and I really loved my time with Lily!

Ok, ok. Yes, he's a cute baby. Time to PLAY!

What did he say? Come on, brother. Share the love!


Graham really relaxed with Aunt Dawn.

Lily and I had such fun! She sang me all sorts of songs. So much fun!

After all of the playing, we were beat! Mimi helped us to kick back and relax.


Graham taking it all in...

One of the best parts of the weekend was playing Pop's mandolin with Papa. Maybe I'll be as talented as he is some day...


Fascinating...

But, more than anything, this month has been a truly special time in which we have all been adjusting to being a family of four. I love my baby brother more than anything. He is already my best friend.

What a great month!
