Baby Shortridge: Graham is 4 Months Old!!!

It is hard to believe that it was 4 months ago that Graham made his entrance into the world. It feels like it was just yesterday. My cousin Mary Miller just had her sweet little Mary Payton (Feb 28th) and waiting for her to arrive brought back all the memories of Graham's delivery and the excitement of the new little baby. Can't believe it was 4 months ago. We can't wait to meet our new little cousin. Graham is growing like a weed. He is really the happiest baby ever. This week he has come down with his first cold. Every morning as he wakes up, he coughs and coughs and coughs...you would think he was miserable, but he just smiles and laughs after each cough...I think he thinks it is funny, meanwhile Alex and I think he is choking...HA HA HA.

He has almost mastered turning over from his stomach to his back and he is now starting to reach for his toys. Talking up a storm too. Every night when Alex gets home they seriously have about a 5 minute conversation... If only we knew what Graham was thinking. This week we started rice cereal. He seems to like it but only has enough patience for about 5 scoopfuls. Finally, mom got the hint and added apple juice to the rice cereal, now he loves it!!!

We went for his 4 month check up this week. Graham was almost 14lbs (50%) and 26 inches (98%), looks like we have a tall one on our hands. Big sister Ella came this weekend, he was so excited to see her. He just loves looking at her and loves it when she reads to him. Looks like Ella has gotten her daddy's love of reading!!!

It should be a nice, (warm) weekend this weekend. Hopefully we'll get out for a few outdoor shots. I have added my 5 favorite pictures. One at his birth and one for each month. Enjoy!!!
