Christmas Morn!

Christmas Eve - Dressed to the Limit

Too Cool

Yes, well, Kat- *ouch*, I mean August couldn't wait to open this present, so we let me have it a few days early.

Mom in High School- Yum.

Hello, what have we here?

Gray Family Fun!

Me and Nick, the Old Saint.

The Greatest Great Grandma

August's Great Grandma Sue Nell sent him an ornament, which he immediately opened and put in his mouth. All signs indicated that he was thrilled. Thanks so much Granny!

Christmas Glee!

Apology

I am sorry Lily, for making the bad post about you. Will you forgive me?

Giggle Happy

Today I entertained August by tossing various objects into the air and catching them in various contorted positions. Oh yes, and sound effects. Sound effects are essential- "Whoosh, wham, whump!"
August giggled the repetitive- "Huh, uh, uh, uh, uh..." until he was red in the face. In time, I will teach him to make that sound when he is imitating a machine gun. For know, he'll be trigger happy with giggles.

Phat

Gus is fat. Say that once out loud- "Gus is fat." Thats good. Now say it again, but this time let the "uh" in "Gus" sag to the floor when you say it- "G- uugh-sss".

I've been working on it for some time now and I almost have it perfected. You have to make it sound like someone is punching you in the stomach mid-word to get it to sound right.

Of course, the whole point of this is to get his name to sound like his belly looks. Gus is fat- for a Grauke anyway, and compared to before. Go on and take another look at that picture of him in the bath. Thats a round little head popping up there.

He is also living up to his in-utero name, "Cub." He growls good. Say that- "Gus growls good." Now I just need to teach him to say it on command.

"Hey August, are you a wild animal?"

"Grrrrrrrr..."

New Sweater, New Picture

It seems that every time I get a new peice of clothing I reinvent myself. I have to have a new picture taken. Sure. Its me. Again. Only this time- green.
