First Haircut
Yesterday was Grady's first birthday! He woke up to Jon and I singing Happy Birthday. We filled his belly with waffles and blueberries and headed to the salon for the first real haircut. He did really well. He watched Elmo the whole time, so that helped a ton. I must say, he looks dashing!
Birthday bash pictures to come soon!

Where O Where has the Time Gone?!?
Almost two months have flown by since Christmas and I can't tell you anything super significant that has happened...other than our little man sprouting into a little boy rather than a baby! Why can't they still little longer?
Grady turned 11 months on Saturday and shows every bit of it! He's standing on his own and is very proud of himself when he does it. He hasn't taken that first step, but I think by the time 12 months rolls around he'll have at least attempted it. He's a doll. So sweet! He still loves giving Momma and Daddy kisses and hugs. He's become even more attached to Jon over the past couple of months. It's pretty amazing to watch him look for Jon's approval already. I just think it's cool that he already looks up to us.
Grady blows kisses, waves bye-bye, says momma, dadda, bubba, bye, hi, yes, fish and Gus. We're working on everyone else's names still...just give him some time! His favorite thing to do is read books. He'll choose a book over a toy about 8 times out of 10. His other favorite thing to do is open and close doors of all kinds. Big doors, little doors, cabinet doors, cozy coup door. He loves talking to himself in the mirror.
He's eating lots of new big boy foods (although mom and dad are more apprehensive than we probably should be!). He has a newfound love of bananas. He doesn't like them pureed or smashed, but bites...yes, please, and more, thank you! He loves raisin bread and peaches and pears. He still is just tolerating green beans, but that might be more to do with the cook than the bean. I can't figure out how to cook canned green beans until they're super tender. Suggestions welcome! He likes mashed taters (sweet and not) and mac n' cheese. He's just an all around big boy who has a big wonderful personality!
He loves to nap...mostly catches up on the weekends. He only takes one nap at school during the week, but takes two on Saturdays, sometime for a three hours each! He soaks up the sleepy on the weekends.

Nine Months!
Grady is 9 months old and acting every bit of it. He's all boy. He plays hard, and sleeps hard, loves being tossed in the air by Daddy, adores Hayes, our dog, and is always super excited when Daddy helps him ride Hayes' back.
He gets excited about the little things in life, like the refrigerator door opening, his red ball bouncing, getting his teeth brushed, reading about Thumper the bunny, empty water bottles, eating watermelon through a little mesh thingy for babies, taking baths, drinking water from the end of Momma's straw...or from Momma's water bottle. He bangs on his toys instead of gingerly playing, he turns them every which way to figure out how they work. It's awesome to watch him grow and learn. He's pulling up on everything and starting to cruise around a little.
Grady now has 6 teeth and won't stop drooling so I'm sure more are on their way. He's still a sweet, sweet boy and a true joy.
(A couple of notes on the pics included: #1 don't be jealous of our gorgeous orange burlap chairs...you'll have to find a set of your own! #2 Jon's eye is scary, yes. He took a finger to the eyeball last week playing basketball. Frightening as it may be, it looks about 1000 times better today than it did 10 days ago.)
Happy 9 months Grady Bear! Momma and Daddy love you little man!
