Graham stands up and tries to eat some noodles.

Barack Obama baby!

Graham LOVES the bowling pins!

Crazy with laughter!

Fiona gives Graham a cuddle.

It's always a challenge to get everyone smiling.

Three cheers for strawberry shortcake season!

Madeleine and Fiona become great friends.

Our friends Cliff and Michelle have their first baby, December 6, 2008: Claire Lin

Our baby Graham is starting to stand up.

The dishwasher is just the right height to pull oneself up.

Our very happy mobile child.

Ooohh...Graham's ankles don't look quite strong enough.

Madeleine gives her brother some words or encouragement.

And look! He did it! He's standing.

Graham's so happy that he can pull himself up to get his mommy.

Madeleine enjoys noshing on a chicken bone.

Graham loves to chew on his chicken bone too.

That's so cute.

Our friends Diana and Michael have a baby on December 2, 2008: Otter Alejo Carychao

Graham tries to crawl into the tent.

We think he's just trying to show off his dance moves.

Learning to stand: Graham at 9 months, 13 days, and Madeleine at 8 months 9 days.

Already getting into the cabinets at just 9 months.

Trying to get the slow cooker. Good thing it's too heavy for him to pick up.

Graham makes some stirfry

Madeleine and Graham make dinner.

Madeleine proceeded to take the pan away from Graham and did some of her own cooking.

We go to our local Christmas Parade.

The salsa band goes by.

Yeah, I'm cool.

Madeleine is awed by the stilt walkers.

Here comes the big bear for the finale.

And here's Santa.

Graham LOVES his berries.

Poor piggy had to go in the wash and out on the line to dry.

Oop, naked boy baby.

He loves his new found ability to stand.

Jumperoo!

Baby stuck on the tent door.
