New Blog!

I have redesigned and moved Grady's blog to a new blog host. The new address is http://allthingsgrady.wordpress.com/. It also has a new name to reflect what it is really all about. :) So change your bookmarks and readers to point to the new address cause I won't be updating this one anymore.

Such a litte man

Grady is rapidly growing out of his clothes and although onesies are super functional, I love putting him in little outfits that make him look like a little man. I suspect his meemaw will especially like this one. I guess they really are like little dress up dolls for us sometimes, even the boys. :)

Check out the bruise there on the left side of his forehead. He's trying so hard to crawl and keeps falling on his noggin. His first bruise, well I guess all the milestones can't be rosey. :P

Teeth!

Not a great picture (colorwise) but you can see his one little tooth on the bottom there. He is getting three, that's right three, other teeth right now and it has made for some pretty fussy days. He pitched a fit with Sam on Thursday morning and apparently had another tantrum at daycare on Thursday. He seems to be getting the other bottom one and the two top ones all at the same time. Oh well I guess we'll get it all done at one time.

Poor sick boy

Grady had his very first fever last week. It got up to 102.9 at its highest. He was not a happy boy. I stayed home with him for two days and he spent most of that time sleeping on me. We all survived though and he is back to his happy go lucky self, well almost. (See next post)

Chew, Chew, Chew

Grady has been teething for a few weeks now and although you can't really see it in this picture he does have one little bottom tooth that has finally poked through. His cousin Ryan decided he needed this t-shirt from the Tennessee Aquarium. It says "I chew on everything." Seems appropriate. :)

Musical prodigy? :P

Bathtime

For some reason I am obsessed with balancing stuff on his head. I guess its all the real estate up there. :)

Mama + Grady

Mama hearts Grady

Grady hearts Mama

Mama hearts this super cute outfit (especially the shoes) :P

Playtime

This is the game Grady and Daddy play—Daddy stacks all the blocks as fast as he can before Grady knocks them down.

This is the game Grady and Mommy play—Mommy holds Grady upside down by his legs and Grady laughs and laughs. I promise he likes it.

Playtime cuteness

OMG this thing is bigger than me! He then proceeded to bite Pooh on the ear.

Grady laughing

Check out the stylin' outfit too :P

Fun with a spoon...

Life lessons for Mom

Don't leave the boy in his bouncy seat quite so close to the toilet paper roll when getting ready in the morning.

He did it again!

Every time my mom and I go to have his picture made it is always after a bad napping day and we are convinced that the pictures aren't going to turn out well. Apparently the girl who works at the Olan Mills in Hixson, TN can work miracles because no matter how grumpy he seems to be she can always, always get this kid to make the cutest pictures. Last week was no exception.

Meemaws are great...

Apparently Grady will not nap without his swing or his crib in his room. Here's where the indulgence of his Meemaw comes in. She rocked him on the swing outside on her deck for a good hour so he could get at least one good nap today. Thank goodness for wireless internet!

Vital Stats: 6 Months

Grady had his 6 month check up yesterday which meant more shots. He was not too pleased with that. Everything went well and he recovered from the shots pretty quickly. On the bright side, no more shots until he's a year old. He was given the okay to try veggie puffs before moving on to other finger foods. As you can see below he doesn't quite know what to make of them.

Weight: 16 lbs 9 oz. 50th percentile
Height: 2' 2.5" 70th percentile
Head circumference: 18.5 in 95th percentile
