8 Months Old & On The Go

Grady turned 8 months old on Christmas. The day after he took off. Apparently he thought he was 8 months old and it was time to do everything. He began crawling that day and pulled himself up to standing a few days later. Now he is a pro. Nothing stops the kid! He loves exploring the house and pulling himself on anything he can. We have begun to baby proof the house. We have had to tell him "no" a few times getting a very sad reaction with lots of tears. It's fun to watch him get Jackson and go after anything that his big brother has. Thankfully Grady is still my snuggle-bug. I hope he stays that way forever!
It all started with me finding you standing in your crib after your nap laughing and waving at me.

You love pulling yourself up on the train table and walking around it. You think you are pretty cool.


You have discovered the gate and aren't a big fan of it. You try to figure out how to get out all the time hoping big brother forgot to lock it.


Jackson's room is one of your favorite places to be. You crawl in there all the time looking around and exploring.

You eat big boy food like cheerios and cut up fruits such as bananas, melon and blueberries.

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!
