This is Lily. She's my new friend in TN. Since we are staying at her house temporarily, I've had lots of time to get to know her. I really like her, and I think she really likes me.
She lets me pet her and snuggle up to her. She always waits outside me room until I come out and play with her.
She likes to lick me and that makes me laugh. Sometimes, I share my dinner with her-especially the green beans. Shelby, if you are reading this, don't worry. You are still my favorite puppy.
and pull the drawers out to peek inside and pull everything out.
Oops! Mommy caught me red-handed. How could you get upset with this cute face?
More good times at the pool. I really love to be in the water, and I like splashing and having water on my face and head.
Mommy spent time with my girlfriends, Gretchen and Emma, and their mommy. They went to Dairy King for ice cream. Boy, was I sad that I missed that. I also miss my friends a lot. 
Here's baby Madison-Auntie Marie's baby girl. Mommy got to spend lots of time with Maddie and her mommy. Mommy said she's really cute and sweet. I can't wait to meet her and play together.
Auntie Jenn, the beautiful lady in the middle, is getting married soon. So, there was a special party for the girls in the wedding. Auntie Jenn will make a very pretty bride. She said I am invited to the wedding, but mommy thinks I should stay at home. I wonder why-a wedding sounds like lots of fun.
Auntie Jenn, Auntie Marie, Maddie and Mommy had fun spending time together. We miss all of our friends from Michigan.
Nana came to visit this past week. Even though I got a cold and ear infection while she was here, I had so much fun with her. We went to the park, she watched me swim in the pool, she fed me lunch and dinner, and we played a lot. Thanks, Nana, for loving me even when I was grouchy because I was sick. I love you!
Cousin Will got in the pool for the very first time this week. He really likes it like I do, so we'll spend lots of time together in the water this summer. Going swimming is much more fun when you have a buddy with you.
Last weekend, we went out on Uncle Tim's ski boat. The boat went really fast, and at first I was a little scared. Then, I realized how fun it was to zoom across the water. I also got to go swimming with Daddy.
Do you like my life jacket? It's a special one just for little guys like me and my cousin.
After all that swimming and boat riding, I got really tired.
My cousin, Will, and his mommy and daddy came over for dinner tonight. We had lots of fun together. We were having a contest to see who could be the messiest. Our parents said it was a tie.
"Hey, Graham! Are you going to eat that?"
I'm ready to go swimming. I've got my swimming suit and my sunglasses. Come on, Mommy!
climb up and slide down, 
crawl through the side,
and open and close the door. Thanks, everyone, for this great gift.
you changed our lives. Graham, I thank God for blessing us with a wonderful, healthy son. You bring us much joy. Happy Birthday, sweet son! Love, Mommy and Daddy
Cake again? I can go for that!
Will can help me open my present.
Uncle Tim and Aunt Kimberly helped make my first birthday very special. I love spending time with them, especially Will.
My mommy's good friend, Jenn, came over to play tonight. She brought us dinner, played outside with me, and gave me a bath. 
Thanks, Auntie Jenn, for coming over tonight. I love having you over to play.
I spend a lot of my time pointing and telling my mommy about different things that I see. Who knows what I'm pointing at here but I'm sure it was very important.
I had lots of fun playing today with Emma, Gretchen, and a new friend named Jennifer. Jennifer lives in a house behind mine. She's three years old like Emma and has lots of great things to show me. We played in the backyard, and I got really dirty. Mommy says I'm very much a little boy. I was the only one that seemed to get dirty. We also saw three little kittens. Their mommy put them under our deck.
We celebrated my birthday a little early with our friends and neighbors in Michigan. We had a great party, and lots of my friends wished me a Happy Birthday. Mommy helped me open my presents.
I've been walking a lot more, and I showed everybody at the party how I can do it. Watch out because here I come! I have to hold my hands up for balance like my buddy Jonathan.
Auntie Jenn got me a very neat lawnmower toy. I like to push it fast. Now I can help Daddy and Mommy mow the lawn. Yes, I did say Mommy. She likes to mow the lawn while Daddy edges.
Here are my girlfriends, Gretchen and Emma, and their mommy Heidi. Miss Heidi helped Mommy make my very special birthday cake. It was delicious. I think I'd like to have cake every evening after dinner.
