But first, we had to make sure he could get on :-) 
By the way, for all the mom's traveling alone with their infants - Be sure to get a Daddy-pass so Dad can go through and help you through the security line and also visit with you and baby until you board the plane at the Boarding Gate! 
Schools probably would have been closed in Tulsa, but it was business as usual here. Anyhow, we've been too busy getting sick to really do anything else. We ended up taking Graham to the doctor's office here and based on the nurse's evaluation, Graham has croup.
After 5 minutes with the nebulizer (screaming and fighting it, of course) and a shot in the thigh after that (screaming as well - video too graphic for Daddy so I won't post it :-), Graham is on his way to recovery. You wouldn't know that he's sick by watching him jump on the jumperoo!And by the way, I've discovered another possible choking hazard during our stay here. Fortune cookies! It's probably not a good idea to hand fortune cookie packets to an infant. After a meal at a Chinese restaurant, I picked up a fortune cookie to keep Graham quiet for the ride home. And I was wondering why Graham was SO quiet and my sister suggested that I check on him. I turned around from the front seat and saw that Graham had torn/bit through the plastic packaging and managed to get to the cookie! Thankfully he didn't get a chance to choke on it yet!
And can you read what his fortune says... "Don't let others try to stop you from doing what is right". Except Mommy believe biting into the packaging is wrong!
What else have we been up to? Oh, Graham is taking on the Harry Potter look this past few days. He fell while climbing over me (I was on the floor) and he bumped his head on either the side of the furniture or the side of the wall.
During our stay here, Graham and I have also been practicing our hugs :-)
We're still working on our kisses. He did open up his mouth this one time and planted his entire mouth on my face! I haven't had a chance to catch that one video yet!
And here's a funny one... I was talking with Bobby on the phone yesterday and I held the cellphone towards Graham's ear. He leaned in to listen!
I had put the phone towards Graham's ear before but this was the first time that he leaned in to listen. It was just too cute. And what's even funnier was when I put the phone back to my ear, he leaned his head on my face!
And finally, one last video. This is of Graham going through his animal flipbook back in Tulsa before leaving for our flight. He's getting good at it!
My camera ran out of batteries at the very end, but yes, Graham did find Sam too! I wonder if he will still remember how to do it when we get back to Tulsa.
It's unfortunate that I haven't been feeling too well lately as it would have been nice to cuddle with my new nephew a little more and help out my sister as well. Graham has been pretty much glued to my hip since he's been sick and he's taken the opportunity to sleep in the big bed as well (versus the new portable/inflatable crib). And of course, he's taken the chance to take up the entire bed!
