My 5-Month Boy


My Sweet Grady-Do,

You are truly amazing! "One smiley little guy," is what daddy and I always say. Happy, giggly, and sweet are a few words to describe you. Scooting, rolling over and over, and reaching is what you like to do this month. You are an incredible sleeper and such an easy baby. You typically just go with the flow and often fall asleep wherever you are. You REALLY want to crawl and sometimes get frustrated that you can't. We can no longer leave you just laying on the bed or couch. You are chewing on anything and everything that you can get into your mouth. We started rice cereal this month and sometimes you like it, sometimes you don't. You have really packed on the pounds and gone through quite a growth spurt. I would guess you are about 15 pounds and SUPER long! You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. I cannot believe how big you are! I think I blinked and you became this baby!

I cannot imagine a day without you. God truly designed you perfectly for me, daddy, and Jackson. I can't remember life without you and really don't want to! You bring such joy to all our lives! Jackson LOVES having "his Grady" coming into mommy and daddy's room every morning just to see you. You crack up at daddy and love to grab his face. You and I snuggle and have many great conversations. I love you more than life itself. Thank you for blessing each and every moment of our lives! 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!
