The Small Santa Claus

Early this morning, Graham DEMANDED to be a festive addition to the Christmas times we all enjoy. Luckily, his Auntie Katie had the forethought of a Vegas oddsmaker, and had picked up an outfit for her nephew's Christmas Spirit.

I give you...

The World's Smallest Santa Claus


MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Most Happy Elf

Every year, all over the world, millions of kids wait with millions of parents in hundreds of thousands of lines for their chance to have their picture taken while losing their sh*t on the lap of some guy who is trying his best to make a few bucks at the holidays being dressed as Santa Claus, Papa Noel, St. Nick, L'Elf Grande, and/or "Doug, Santa's Half-Brother With a Drankin' Issue."

For hours of entertainment, net-search "Scary Santa Photos." Brilliant stuff comes back, thank you internet!

We had our go yesterday with Graham!, takin' him to the local mall for his shot at getting his first pic with Santa Claus.

He slept an hour in line before we got there. The 2 families in front of us each had a kid in their group melt-down, one of them refusing to get anywhere near the Jolly One. Graham was limp with excitement. OUT.

And as I get up to our turn, they say he'll just get a pic where Santa holds him in a cradled position and it will be really cute.

Then his eyes pop open, he looks at me, then his mom, looks around, yawns...
We hand him to Santa...

and got THIS
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My canner's not hooked up, THAT's why...

2Months And Steamin' Ahead

Holy moly...
Being a parent is as enrapturing and exciting as riding a unicycle through firecrackers while holding a Molotov Cocktail on the way to a massage.

Love love love this kid, this Graham Gerald Lott.

He is surrounded by love, family, and admirers. I had only a small inkling of how wonderful it was going to be at the Holidays to share Graham with everyone. And he's grown so much it's amazing.

9/23/09 = 7lbs 8oz, 20.5in
10/23/09 = 10lbs 3oz, 22in
11/23/09 = 12lbs, 24.5in

And he now has his own room, changing table, armoire, and crib! He's got me blogging from the dining room/unpacked boxes area.

Here are some recent, fave pics of of Graham:

The Huskies are 1-0 when Graham dons this onesie. GO DAWGS!


With his Great Aunt Pam on Thanksgiving, having a much better time than it shows!
