Milestones...

Having two boys born in May, it's very easy to compare their milestones...and just as easy to forget that Jack was born three weeks before Graham in May. So while I'm not "supposed" to compare babies and their milestones, I just can't seem to help myself...nor help myself from always feeling like poor little Graham is "behind".

When we went to Tulsa for Christmas when Jack was an infant Jack could get into a sitting position on his own, get on his knees and bounce, stand holding onto objects and he started crawling on Christmas Day. But Graham...poor little Graham couldn't do any of that and although he'd been rocking on his hands and knees for weeks he was no where near crawling. But at Christmas Jack was getting ready to turn 8 months while Graham had just turned 7 months so again I have to remind myself that Graham is not behind, Graham is not behind, Graham is not behind.

Well...in true "their own time" fashion...Graham proved he's not behind and really showed off some of his skills. The day before Christmas Graham started moving. Not a crawl on hands and knees...but a slow painful looking "dead man's crawl" as Jason coined it. But he started moving and 3 weeks before his brother. Once we got home from Tulsa, Graham just seemed to flourish. He started staying on his hands and knees and taking small movements forward on them and he started getting into a sitting position on his own and is now pulling up on anything and everything he can get his pudgy little fingers around!

So now we see him going in circles on his belly, getting on all fours and chasing after toys or Jack. Or simply sitting up to enjoy the crazy antics his brother has in store for him. So see...Graham is not behind!
