CVS!!!

The last couple of months I have been smarter about spending and really trying to save and get more for my MONEY. I don't know how many of you know what you can do at CVS, well... I am learning. I have found several blogs that post a lot of helpful information on how to save money. I am going to try to put up a link on the side to the sites that I look at!!!

So... today I went to CVS and spent .22. That is right 22 CENTS! I transferred my prescription from Walgreens to CVS and received a $30 gift card. I know, you say it would be easy to save money with a gift card, but I still did good. I bought 2 Oral B toothbrushes for 4.99 and got the 4.99 back in ECB's which allowed me to get one of the pack of diapers for free. If you plan well enough you can do this A LOT and then purchase some of your items with your Extra Care Bucks. I have done this also with formula! So if you find all of this interesting, like me, visit the sites that I will hopefully get put up on the side sometime soon. Oh, and I still have money on my gift card to use in the future!!!

Here is my picture!

And AWAY he goes!!!

Graham has learned how to use his walker. He is so proud of himself. We had many falls while we were learning, but he learned how to do it in about 30 minutes. He can only go straight, but he can go!!!

Day at the Park!

Graham loves to swing! He just laughs the whole time that he is swinging. Since he is crawling I let him crawl through the tunnel and he loved sitting inside of it. I guess that it has been about 3 weeks since he has been crawling and he has really learned how to move. Today he was standing by the couch and took his hands off to clap several times. He would just stand there balancing himself. It has been a wonderful week being home with him!!!

Here is the video of Graham crawling for the first time. He has since then been pulling up onto everything and cruising along the couch. He likes being able to get where he thinks he needs to go! He has learned how to open up all of the drawers in his bedroom and one in the bathroom. We will see how long it takes him to walk because when he stands up he wants you to let go of him!!! He can also walk some of the time with only holding on to one of your hands. He also likes to dance. If you put on any music with a beat he will start clapping and moving his little body. He is having so much FUN!!!!

Finally...

Graham is moving/crawling! Last night he took his first couple of moves towards crawling. Tonight he has mastered it a little more and is moving around the living room and pulling up onto things. It is amazing what 24 hours will do. He is leaving one leg with his foot completely on the ground and the other with his knee. (If this makes any sense at all.)

I hope to get some video up of him soon. I am so excited that he is finally MOVING!!!

Where did January go?

Well...
I can't believe that it is the first day of February!
Graham is 9 months old and trying to MOVE! He is not crawling yet, but is pulling up on things and we have found him sitting up in bed the last couple of weeks. I have no idea how he does it but the bed is soon to be at its lowest level! Raymond kept him today and had to go and lay him back down several times for a nap because he kept sitting himself back up!!!

Everyone I know is sick! Graham was sick at the first of January and ran fever for 7days straight. It was a little scary and we went to the dr. twice within 4 days. Also, the person that keeps Graham has had a house full of sick little girls. They have all been sick off and on for the month of January and admitted one of them to the hospital last night! They all had the flu (including the DAD) and the oldest one now has pneumonia. I pray that she gets out of the hospital as soon as possible.

So, I will leave you with Graham's update from his 9 month appointment. We can start feeding him more table/finger foods. This should be fun for ALL!!!
