Dear Grady-do,

You are one precious little fella! You are AMAZING! You LOVE being on your belly now rolling over any chance you get! Mommy gets a little worried because you enjoy sleeping on your stomach primarily with your face planted in the mattress. But, you are breathing so I just turn your head a little and let you enjoy your sweet baby dreams. Toys entice you as you try to wriggle your way to them. You have some very exciting conversations with mommy, daddy, and Jackson, as well as, your toys. You have lots to say in the morning bright eyed and smiley.

You are an incredible sleeper! You sleep through the night going to bed at 8:20pm EVERY night and getting up around 6:30am. Daddy and I thought you were getting teeth but apparently we were mistaken. You'd think we'd know what we were looking at being this the second time around. Instead, you have small cysts on your gums that are quite common and will go away on their own. Good thing they don't hurt you! I also thought you weighed more but, as the doctor says, you are tall and skinny. So, we will be starting rice cereal soon to get some meat on those bones! We also have to work on your neck muscles. You have a little flatness on the left side of your head. This was caused by something in your neck in-utero (I don't know the doctor terminology) so it is a little sore for you to move certain ways. Don't worry. Mommy is going to learn some exercises to help you out!

You smile a ton and giggle A LOT! However, everytime mommy pulls out that big black thing that flashes in your face you hide that smile away. Stinker! You are definitely developing your personality. I love it! You are such a snuggle-bug! I hope this never fades! You are also very sweet and loving. Your feet astound you when you catch a glimpse. They are pretty incredible! I do love me some baby toes!

We love you more than words, Grady! Thank you for blessing us each and every day bringing a smile to our face every time we look at you! Until next month...

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
