Grady is 5 months!

Our little G-man is 5 months! I am so amazed by how quickly he has changed from a
"newborn baby" to what seems like a little boy with such a definite personality already. We are enjoying this new stage with our little guy so much! We love his happy, outgoing personality! He seems to be a "people person" because he is always full of smiles when we go out in large groups or people talk to him. At his doctors appointment this month he weighed 20.6 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long. He is still in the 100th percentile for weight and 97th percentile for height. Big boy! This month Grady...

-Started eating baby food. So far he has tried carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, bananas, squash, and apple sauce. I have really been enjoying making his baby food. His favorite so far seems to be sweet potatoes and apple sauce. :)
-Rolls over more frequently and occasionally pushes off the ground with his feet.
-Has a big personality coming out! He can be loud and full of smiles when he's happy. As well as loud and impatient when he's mad. He seems to know what he wants and he wants it now!
-Started pre-school. I went back to teaching so Grady is now going to my school with me. He loves the ladies in the baby room and all of the other babies. They always say he smiles all the time!
-Grady's favorite thing to do at school is go on buggy rides!
-Found his feet! That means he is always reaching for them and occasionally has them in his mouth :/
-Seems to be "digging" for his teeth. He is always drooling and puts everything in his mouth!
-Is almost sitting up on his own. He will sit but usually falls down after a few minutes.
-Loves to stand when we are holding him!
-Is sitting in a high chair.
We love his huge smile and happy feet!




I just love this face!

Concerts in the Park

This summer we were able to go to a few concerts in the park. We never went last summer, but always heard they were a nice way to spend a summer night! So this summer we decided to try it out! We even walked there a few times because it is pretty close to our house and Grady loves going on walks!

Family trip to Havasu!

A few weekends ago Buddy and I took Grady to Havasu with Justin, Ashlie, baby Jack, and Grammy and Grampy! It was so fun to be in Havasu and do some floating! Going to the river with Grady is definitely a different experience than we are used to but it was fun to introduce him to new things and watch his reaction. He seemed to enjoy the water and the movement of the boat. He got fussy when we would put his life vest on, but then quickly fell asleep each time the boat started moving. I love being on vacation with our little family, and look forward to many more times in Havasu with Grady! I can already tell he is going to be an active little guy and will probably keep us on our toes at the river in the future!
