8 Months! Gasp!


Dear Grady~

Can you bring any more joy in our lives? Seriously kid! Everyday you make us laugh and smile. Your sweet spirit is such a blessing. The love and relationship between you and Jack is astounding. He loves you so much and you are still in awe of him. He calls you Grades which I think is so sweet. You love to watch Jack and daddy play and wrestle just waiting for the day when you can get in the mix.

You still aren't officially crawling. You do crawl backward and push yourself forward on all fours to get where you want to go. You get those legs going but your hands are glued to the floor. You get on your hands and feet straightening your legs out and kind of "walk" forward. You also LOVE to stand! I think you'd much rather stand than try to crawl. Mommy and daddy have to get you in standing position but once there, you are good on your own and oh-so-proud of yourself!

I know you said "mama" the other day but "dada" is still your word of choice. You had quite the conversation last night with mommy and daddy on the bed making all kinds of new sounds. You had so much to tell us. I loved watching your little lips form all those new sounds. So cute! Speaking of your mouth, you have two teeth on the bottom. We woke up one day and poof, teeth appeared. I couldn't believe it! You didn't cry, whine, fuss, nothing. I am crossing my fingers and toes that this will be our teething pattern.

I really don't think anything really upsets you. I have only heard you really cry when you bonk yourself on something. Other than that, you just kind of hang out and go with the flow typically with a smile on your face. You do give us this look (like the picture above) that says to me, "Really folks?" I love that look.

We love you more than words. You are our "good and perfect gift from above!" God is so good blessing us with you. He knew we needed a little Grady in our lives! Until next month my sweet angel...



You are such a happy little guy! Your smile lights up any room!


Daddy and I love your crazy fuzzy red hair! We play with it all the time. It's who you are!





Always trying to be on the move!


You still adore your brother and love playing with him.

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. ...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...
