Grady and his Nan

Our little family is fortunate enough to celebrate Christmas not once, not twice, but four times. We had Christmas at Nan and Grandads, Christmas Eve with Grandpa Clayton, Christmas morning at our house, and then Christmas day/dinner at Nanna and Grandpa's. Little Grady was a bit to young to partake in most of the festivities but I just know he enjoyed the twinkling lights, the extra visits with his extended family, his first rice cereal on Christmas Eve, and let's not forget the mound of Christmas gifts he recieved.

Buddies from the beginning....

Our friends Andy and Erin have two under two as well. This is their youngest Benson, he is one month younger than Grady. Their other little man, Tucker, is one month younger than Ava. We are having so much fun watching our little ones grow up together!

Cereal!

Confessions of a guilty mom: these are actually from the second cereal feeding, the first we took before pictures of and video during but forgot to take the camera back out. Sorry Bug! He spit out the majority of round 1, enjoyed round 2 much more, and was eating like a champ by round 3!

4 months

We celebrated our sweet boys 4 month day on Christmas eve! His 4 month well visit is next week so I'll need to edit this to add in his length and wait. At 4 months our stud muffin is.....

• Wearing 6 month clothes
• Grasping toys and bringing them to his mouth
• Watching intently at meal time, and joining in with rice cereal
• Acting as if he is teething, rubbing his fist and toys on his gums
• Rolling all over the place, if you put him down on a blanket and blink he's already rolled onto the carpet
• Nursing every 2.5 - 3 hours during the day and still waking at least 2x a night to nurse (working really hard on breaking this habit)
• Is much more content in the swing, bouncy, or on a play mat
• Splashing around like a crazy man at bath time

It is so fun watching our little man grow along side his sister. I am so amazed at their differences and similarities. I can't wait until the day when they can entertain each other! Then maybe mommy can finally drink a cup of coffee while it's hot! ;)

*** I was suprised to find out Grady's stats:

• weight- 13.8 lbs (just under the 50th % )
• height- 25.5 inches ( this was the shocker, he's only in the 50-75th %, which is crazy because he is sooo long)
