Grady at 6 weeks

Updates:

Grady is now smiling and giggling. Giggles are still usually when he's sleeping, but we can occasionally get him to smile at us making funny faces or noises at him, or shaking toys that make fun noises. I'm sure this will become more frequent over the next few weeks.

He's growing like a weed, nearing 10 lbs and 23 inches long.

He's been sleeping very well at night, usually about 6 hours from 9:30p.m. to 3:30 a.m., eat then back to sleep till about 7:30, eat then, back down immediately till about 10:30 a.m. I'm pretty pumped about this trend toward sleeping through the night. Of course last night he ate ever 3 hours...may be going into a growth spurt.

He's following our hands and other toys from one side to the other.

We completely adore him in every way! There's not one aspect that I don't like about being his momma. This has been the biggest 6 week lesson in servanthood that I could ever have imagined. Jon and I are here to meet his ever need. I love to see his needs met and him totally satisfied. It is by far the most exhausting and demanding, but also the most rewarding and joy-filled experience of my life. I just need a couple of little Grady smiles a day to keep me going. That's all the reward I need!

Enjoy the cute little pic! I'm off to cuddle with my son.
