Five Months

Grady turned 5 months old Wednesday. It's so hard to believe! And, as with every new month, he has plenty of news in the growth and development area to share...




When he went to the doctor for his cold, which, thankfully, went away pretty quickly, he weighed 17 pounds 3 ounces, up almost a pound since his last well-baby (about three weeks before). He measured 25 3/4 inches, which means he's almost an inch taller. This baby knows how to grow! He's wearing exclusively 9 and 12 month clothing, believe it or not. He — just this week — moved up to a size 3 diaper. His FuzziBunz diapers have been adjusted to 3s all around to accommodate this growing boy, too.

He seems to be approaching all the milestones at great speed, too. He's been rolling from tummy to back since he was about 3 months old. Now, he is ready to roll from back to tummy. We're just waiting for it to happen...any day now. We've even seen him practicing in his crib on the video monitor, which is quite entertaining.

He's also working on sitting up now.  He still requires help, but it won't be long before he's sitting up on his own. People aren't kidding when they say it goes by fast, but we are soaking it all up day by day...

He's ready for his first Christmas, and Santa thinks this little boy has been good all year (well, the part of the year he's been here at least). Merry Christmas everyone from L-O-G!!
