Disbelief


I can still remember the first moment I laid eyes on you. Time stood still.


Your daddy is SO proud! I am so blessed to be able to watch him with you. Breath-taking


Your brother was in awe of you then and adores you now!


And now you are this little boy getting bigger by the second and more precious by the moment!
Dear Grady~

One year ago at around 11:30am your mommy and daddy strolled into Baylor Hospital in Frisco, Texas not knowing we would not be leaving without you in our arms. Mommy thought she was going to get a big cheeseburger for lunch and daddy talked about new job prospects. Five hours later you arrived changing our lives forever. Your birth was a whirlwind with lots of laughs and surprises. We wouldn't have it any other way.

When I think back through the journey of having you I get teary-eyed and shout praises to our Lord. Mommy and Daddy prayed for and wanted you with all of our being! Jackson desperately wanted a sibling and God knew exactly the right guy for the job! You were a fighter in mama's belly not willing to give up even then! You came four weeks early big and strong with no complications. Only our amazing God could do something as miraculous as that!

Grady, you are the sweetest little guy making yourself known when necessary. You love hard blessing everyone you come into contact with. As much as mommy doesn't like seeing her little guy grow up so quickly, I enjoy watching you grow, learn, and explore. Your bright blue eyes just soak everything in amazed at the world around you. You are not in a hurry to do anything but just go with the flow of life enjoying every second. I admire that in you!

You have hit some milestones this month taking a few steps on your own here and there, using a sippy cup, and drinking whole milk. You don't seem to mind the transitions you need to make as you grow except you REALLY like your bottle when you take a nap and go to sleep at night. It is very comforting to you. You say "bye bye" actually singing our bye-bye song from MyGym and say "ball." You like to push cars around and play with balls. You have also gotten one more tooth giving you a grand total of eight teeth!

You are incredible, little man. We love you so much and are so excited to watch your life grow and flourish knowing that you are here on this earth to do great and amazing things! May we give to others the love and blessing that you give to us each and every moment of every day!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Jack, and Wyatt

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!
