Grady man was 7 months old last week. He still only has his bottom two teeth but it looks like one of his top two is making its way in. He started talking last week. He says a da da da...Bryan thinks he is saying da da to him...but I object. He still smiles at anyone who looks his way. He now sits up in his carseat and watches Addie while we are driving. He eats baby food 3 times a day and has still not refused anything I have given him. He loves to drink water out of my glass and can drink out of a straw. He ate a little french fry the other day and LOVED it. He loves puffs and can pick them up but can not quite get them in his mouth...although Addie gets to them before he can pick many of them up. He sits in his highchair to eat and seems to enjoy it! He weighs 16 lbs 12 ounces and his 3 to 6 month clothes are getting a little too small. He still does not roll on a regular basis but when I put him down on his stomach, he gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. When he gets excited, he kicks his feet back and forth. He has found his feet and plays with them often. He loves to sleep with me and got really spoiled when we were out of town and when he had an ear infection. He is such a cuddler that I love sleeping with him but it is not ideal for us forever! I am paying the price for it right now and have to listen to him cry at night. He usually takes one short nap in the morning and will take a longer one (1.5 - 2 hours) in the afternoon. He goes to bed between 6:30 and 7 and sleeps about 12 hours. He is still taking his reflux medicine but I am pretty sure he would be fine without it! Last week I started eating a little dairy and did not notice any tummy issues. I had his diaper tested on Friday and it was free of blood! So I am eating a little more and he will be tested again in 2 weeks. If he looks good, then I will be able to eat a lot more dairy!!! Then I will really have to get back to the gym every day!!!
I can not even begin to express how special we think this little guy is. He is so sweet and I can not imagine our lives without him. Addie loves him and is extremely sweet to him. She says she can't wait for him to be able to chase her around....we will see about that!
It has gotten a little harder to take his picture with his sign. Today he ate it...hence the blue mouth.
Getting ready to crawl! Look at those rolls! Every picture of Grady these days has a string of drool in it!!!
The minute I start taking pictures of Grady, Addie wants to get "half naked" and take pictures too!
