Sucking My Thumb!

Ruh roh....my Mom totally caught me sucking my thumb. But darn it, it tastes sooooo good!!!

One month old!

Today Grady is one month old....it is crazy how much he has grown and changed over the past month. He has started to smile and really has gotten quite a cute personality. Josh and I are adjusting to parenting and our new roles as mom and dad! It is hard to imagine our life without Grady, and before Grady for that matter. It seems that we have always had him. He has truly been such a blessing in our lives.

Highlights of the first month --

• Bringing him home from the hospital and realizing that we can do this on our own!!
• Grady sleeping pretty much through the night since we brought him home! Incredible, we know!!
• Watching him smile for the first time.
• ALL the cuddle time (he is a VERY snuggly baby)
• All the "firsts so far"...bottle, overnight trip, shopping trip, smile, holding his head up strong, bath, recognition of mom and dad, losing umbilical cord, etc, etc.
• The moment that breatfeeding didn't hurt like CRAZY!!
• Dressing him in all those cute little outfits (well this is maybe Mom's favorite :) !!)
• Realizing how quickly you can fall so incredibly in love with someone.
  
• Many many laughs, usually regarding Grady pooping, peeing, or puking on us....hee hee, especially Dad!
  
• All the love, support, and kindness that we received from our wonderful family and friends!
  

Grady's First Easter!

My first Easter was so much fun! I went to my Grandma and Grandpa White's in the morning and the Easter bunny came and visited me there. Then I went to my Great Grandma Bonnie's for lunch. She is in the picture with my Dad and my Grandpa Don. Hah, aren't they funny! Then when I got home, the Easter Bunny had dropped a basket off at my house too! That bunny....he sure is busy!

Ladies Man!!

Look at me with all the ladies....weeeeeeeeeee! I love dinner out with my Mom and her friends!

BIG Day!!

Today was a REALLY big day for me....I watched my very first Twins game with my Daddy and I also had my first bottle ever!! Wow, am I a big boy or what???

Our first overnight trip!!

This weekend, we took our first trip to Grandma and Grandpa White's house!! Sam (my sister) and Laura (sister in law) threw a baby shower for me and Grady!! It was tons of fun and Grady was able to spend lots of time with his cousins. We were able to capture some great pics of the cousins. Too cute!! Grady is going to be a little outnumbered by all the girls! :) Also, were able to get all the great-grandchildren together for a super nice photo with great-Grandma Gibbs.

Despite Grady managing all three P's (poop, pee, and puke) on the bed we were sleeping on...and getting a little poop on Daddy's face, it was a pretty successful weekend.

My first shopping trip!!

Today was the very first time that I got to ride in my new stroller. My Mom took me into the cities and we had lunch with my Mom's friend Nikki, and my little buddy Jacob. It was super. Then we went shopping and I had so much fun. My Mom got me some super cute new clothes...and then I think that she might have gotten some fun things for herself too. I had such a blast but by the end of the day, I was getting a little sleepy. So, we headed home to hang out with Dad! I think that he really missed us.

Birthday Party!!

What a fun party!! Today I got to go to my first birthday party! We celebrated my birthday and my Uncle Miah's AND my Auntie Kristen's! It was tons of fun and we had my Mom's favorite cake...confetti cake with rainbow chip frosting. Mmmmmmmm!!
