Two Month Stats

Graham had his two month check-up today with Dr Bean. He's 24 inches long and weighing in at somewhere between 13 and 14lbs. He was struggling to hold still so that's why the weight is a range. Both are in the 95th percentile. I don't remember his head measurement but it was 75th percentile. All is well with him and from the picture it looks like he's already forgotten the three shots he also received. Now if only mom could forget!

Graham's Blessing

We have absolutely loved having Graham in our lives. He has been a great start to our little family. He has been kind enough to sleep well, eat well, and cry only when he really needs something. Taylor and I don't sleep as much as we used to and we both have to think of someone else before ourselves but really isn't it about time. We had his blessing over General Conference weekend and it was great. I was fortunate to have all of my family present. Taylor gave Graham a sweet blessing and we stayed with Graham Rexal Nelson. Rexal was my Grandpa Rodeback's name and even though I never knew him I grew up hearing stories about him and what a great man he was. Unfortunately my camera spent the whole night in the diaper bag so I don't have any pictures of the whole group who attended the blessing. Hopefully I can steal one from Grandpa Nelson or Aunt Christie soon and I will post them.

I'm still not sure who Graham looks more like. Right after he was born he had a strong resemblance to some of Taylor's baby pictures but I found one of my baby pictures that looks more like him now that he's older. I guess it's a good mix. At least one thing's for sure- G-Rex is handsome! We have a two month check-up this week and I'm looking forward to seeing how big he's grown. He changes so fast!
Oh how we love our little man!

SHAME ON BRENT BROWN FORD


I hate to make a post and bump pics of my adorable child, but this post had to be made. Brent Brown says he will bend over backwards, but why do I feel like the one that is bent over backwards?? Melissa and I bought a ford escape almost 2 years ago from Brent Brown Ford in Provo. We absolutely love the car, but the service at Brent Brown is terrible. We loved our sales agent Annie, but the rest of the people were dishonest and down right rude. Our interest rate on the car was 9% and that was with both of us having credit scores around 800. When we bought the car we were also told that we will receive free tires when they need to be replaced. This, of course, is only if we do our oil changes in Provo. The last time I did the oil change they didn't do it right so oil was leaking all over and I had to take it back in. We just went Friday and our oil is leaking again. We did the 15,000 mile check up and it was supposed to cost $180. They also said that our 30,000 mile check up will cost $750. Am I in the wrong business??? Love real estate, but $750 for an oil change and check up sounds delightful. Needless to say I love my ford escape, but will never go back to Brent Brown Ford. I will just buy the tires on my own.

I hope this post will satisfy my anger because I really don't want to go down to Brent Brown Ford and hold a sign for days saying SHAME ON BRENT BROWN FORD!
