Cold Front

Grady isn't used to cold temps, but he welcomes his warmer wardrobe...





Bring on the cold, he said!



We have snuggling to do!

Sweet Slumber

On the porch Saturday night

It was 1970 something

When a group of our friends were born.  We celebrated at Hal & Mal's in Jackson last Saturday night in full fro and go-go boots.

Grady sported  a pair of baby bell-bottoms he designed himself.

Mind you, that was after his big day at the Fall Festival....

and a quick play date with Desmond.

He and Lauchlin have work to get back to at the gallery this week after their big two month hiatus, and if he's as popular there as he was at his weekend events, business will be booming!  Of course, it's going to be lots different from the last time he was there:

Little Rebel

Grady was a hit in The Grove this past weekend. He sported his Ole Miss romper, a special gift from his Oxford grandparents.


And, even though Ole Miss didn't bring home a win, our Grady stayed for the party...






Hotty Toddy!

Over the River and Through the Woods

Grady has had a house full of grandparents over the past couple of weekends. He also had his first overnight stay at Nanie's.

First, his grandaddy came for a visit...

Then, he met his great-grandmother and great-aunt, Evelyn, while enjoying a visit from his grandma...

On Sunday, which was officially Grandparents' Day, Grady had both grandmothers in the house...

Grady went with his mom to spend the night at Nanie's so Lauchlin could get some much-needed work done. Olivia stayed home for her Rocky Horror Show rehearsals and to teach her first Adult Spanish class at the Southern Cultural Heritage Center. This little guy had a ball with Nanie playing and snuggling...

It was also a good excuse for him to sport the adorable robe and slippers Nanie bought for him before he was born...

That's Why We Call Him Bean!

Grady has been hard at work with Mom as she works on the next issue of Vicksburg Impressions and takes care of other business.

Last week, Grady made trips to Grand Gulf Military Park near Port Gibson and Linden Plantation and Gardens, both to be featured in the fall issue. For the most part, little G-Man hung out in his Baby Bjorn while Mom did the interviewing and photographing. But, he couldn't help but pick up some friends along the way. Here he is with Cathi inside the Grand Gulf Museum. She was a huge Grady fan!

His most recent outing was to accompany Mom to the dentist. Everyone at Dr. Sadler's office loved our little guy. He even showed off by ripping a huge toot that was heard by everyone in the office. The hygienist in the room over asked if it was Rea, our hygienist. Although she was joking, it was one that could be mistaken for one of the grownup variety. We don't call him Bean for nothing!

This smiling tooter — as of last Thursday – had grown 5 inches since birth and weighed 10 pounds 6 ounces!

Weighing In...

Our little guy has been so busy growing. He'll be 6 weeks old Thursday, but we thought we'd flashback to his one-month birthday, since we failed to blog it on time. At four weeks, he weighed in at a whopping 8 pounds, 15 ounces — up from his birth weight of 6 pounds, 3 ounces and his weight of 5 pounds, 12 ounces when we left the hospital. Needless to say, he's growing steadily and already fitting into his 0-3 month and 0-6 month clothing. That's a big deal considering we had to purchase preemie clothing for him in his early days. 

Turning a month old was quite a significant milestone, because it meant that he was finally big enough to start wearing his FuzziBunz cloth diapers...

He has also become a fan of the Baby Einstein videos we inherited from May and Ellen...

  The next thing we know he'll be riding a bike and starting college. It goes so fast, but we're enjoying every minute of it!
