First Ole Miss game!

Grafton became a true Ole Miss rebel yesterday and attended her first football game. She spent the day in the Grove and stayed almost through the entire football game! She was such a good girl! Here are some pictures from the day-

Geez...already 8 months old!?!

Gosh- why is this year just flying by?! We cannot believe that our little girl turned 8 months old yesterday. And only 4 more months till she hits the year mark. As usual, we celebrated in true Graeber style with cupcakes and candles for the princess! Grafton continues to bring us so much joy and love- playing with her every night is such a delight and we just laugh and laugh at the things she does. Like tonight- she tried to "escape" from her room again (took off crawling to the door) and had to stop when she got to Tucker (the lab) in the hallway, turned around to look us, then proceeded to giggle and giggle while Tucker's tail whacked in her in the face from wagging it so hard! Obviously, it didn't hurt her- but she just thought it was hilarious! She and Tucker have this bond- she will stare at Tucker and he will start to somewhat growl/howl and she just giggles non-stop! Too funny. A few days ago we were playing with Grafton and she got out her toy phone, pushed it for it to start ringing, then held it up to her ear! Eric and I cracked up- she already knows how to use a phone apparently!! Anyways, as you can see Grafton just lights up our world and we can go on and on talking about her. She is just full of personality, and while it can be exhausting at times I certainly would not have it any other way! Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days.....

finally a video!

So I am finally posting a video of Grafton from this morning- trying to make her escape! I took it with my picture camera so the quality is definitely lacking, plus it filled up the memory card so quickly it doesn't last too long. Hope you enjoy!

Silly Girl

Grafton is just so silly these days! She makes new faces and new sounds every few days and it cracks us up! Right now she likes to scrunch up her face real tight and make snorting noises! Then she laughs, sticks her tongue out and blows real hard- spitting all over the place! It is hilarious- except when she decides to do it while she is eating and ends up blowing squash or carrots all over us. Grafton also tries to be sneaky and escape from us! She will start crawling really quickly and get to the door of the nursery, turn around to check on us, then zoom out the door to the hallway. This morning I got a little bit on video and will try to download it! She just makes tracks all over the house these days! She pulls up on everything and is trying so hard to take some steps but isn't quite there yet. I am happy to say she is also starting to grow a little longer- her 3 to 6 month bubbles are finally getting to be too short! This past weekend I had a bachelorette party all weekend so Eric was in charge and he did such a good job. I think he may have done too good of a job though- Sunday night I sat down to play with Grafton and all she wanted was her daddy!! It was precious to see though, and I am glad they got that special time together this weekend. Here are a few random pictures from the past week!
