Funny Story

Mr. Smiley has a newfound fondness for the movie Toy Story 3.  He especially loves Bonnie, the little girl whose mother runs the Sunnyside Daycare where all Andy's toys (except Woody) move.  

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!!

O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree

Grady helped pick out his first tree last weekend...

He, of course, slept through all the decorating. But, he was quite pleased when he saw it all lit up the next day...

How I Roll

Grady has quite the set-up at the gallery. While Mom works, he watches Baby Einstein and plays in the Pack-n-Play. The Boppy was an added luxury this week (being propped helped this stuffy baby breathe better). He has an array of "stations," but this guy seems to dig his little flat screen and lounge area best!

Sick Day

Grady caught his first cold (let's hope that's all it is, anyway). He's spending his day at home getting plenty of rest and enjoying Toy Story 3...
A little cold isn't going to keep those Grady smiles away...

Some Work, All Play

Why so serious?! He is, after all, at work.

Sitting Pretty

Grady has been working on sitting up lately. He's not quite ready to sit without the help of Boppy or his moms, but he really likes the view...
