New Pic of Graham!
Hey All!
We snapped this pic of Graham early last week, and the hand in the picture is only for support while he holds his head up and ponders his next well-timed moment of being super.
It's these little looks that're drivin' us crazy. We're blessed with a healthy, happy little guy who is growing daily, in that healthy, cute arm-fat way.
Here he is. Ready?

The Graham Gerald Experience, Week 2
Today marks Graham's 2nd week into the world, and he's doing greatly. In the midst of Geoff's discussion with him the other night over the proliferation of the Wildcat/Spread-Option offense in the NFL, and how it's really geared towards teams with talented running backs but a lack of receivers, he blinked, looked out the window, sighed, then looked back at Geoff, who then forgot what they were talking about. I know, I'm more of a Pro-Style guy, myself.
Alicia's doing a super job as his mommy. Nature must have given Women another level of operation that defies my ability to get up every 2.5 hours. She is just a superb mother; Caring, interested, involved, and not totally biting my face off when I grab the wrong onesie. She's been as attentive, involved, caring, playful and Momly as anybody could imagine. She really misses wine and sushi. It's been 10 months now.
I'm learning a lot about the What and How of parenting. The sleep situation isn't being graded, there're no report cards. For the most part, parenting at this stage is PASS-FAIL; did he Pass His Business or Fail To Pass Said Bidnoos? Ultimately, we're blessed with health in all areas. We've learned SO MUCH about babies, and in turn, poop and pee, in the past 2 weeks. As long as he's eatin', poopin', and sleepin' without much fussin', PASS.
And we couldn't have done this as smoothly without the help of some very awesome people.
sMother-in-Law, Grandma Stacy! She was there when Graham was born, and spent the next week helping us in every way imaginable to transition into parenthood. Also, she was able to curb speeding in the alley behind our house, faced-down a whack-ass neighbor, and was elected Captain of the McManus BlockWatch.
Meredith was also a tremendous help and it was wonderful to have her visiting. Her daughter Charlie is turning 3 in December, so these recent experiences of ours are fresh in her banks. Graham enjoyed being around Meredith, and Meredith enjoyed sleeping in a little.
Johanna stopped by to photograph a playdate between her beautiful and intensely cuddle-able daughter Avalon and Graham, and share news of new mommyhood with Alicia. It helped in the most immeasurable ways.
So here's a pic of the guy, which is why you're here. As of Monday morning, he was lookin' like this. Right at YOU!
