Grady's First Four Months...

I'll never forget holding Grady for the first time completely overwhelmed by him, and everything he meant to us. He was PERFECT.

When we brought him home from the hospital on Christmas eve our house became more than a home, it was the place our family started, a very special place to watch him grow. We've been waiting for him for awhile and his timing in our life has always been perfect from the day we found out we were pregnant to being born on your due date!

Oh my, where has the time gone? Little Grady is already two months old & it is so hard to believe! In the beginning, I wanted time to stand still so he would never grow out of being a newborn. I felt like the drive home from the hospital changed him immediately from a newborn to a baby & it was so hard to handle. With the overwhelming new responsibilities & the fact that he was literally growing before my eyes sometimes it was hard to handle! Eventually, time & lots of sleep made it better and I began to LOVE watching him grow.

Now he is smiling & totally interacting with me while we play, and I couldn't love it more! At two months old, he is a happy baby and sleeps through the night! The only time he really cries is when he decides that he was hungry five minutes ago and wants that bottle right away.

Of course I am SO excited to be filling Grady's first
Easter basket... I live for this stuff! Although our
little sweat pea can't enjoy pastel colored peanut
M&Ms quite yet (mommy can!) I still want to give him a basket full of
 goodies to remember his first Easter.

Months two & three flew right on by... I don't know how many times I will say "where has the time gone," but seriously WHERE has the time gone!? It's a crazy thing, when your little baby first arrives, you want them to stay a tiny little, snuggly, bundle forever. But as they start to grow and interact with you, you become obsessed with every little milestone. It is SO much fun watching his eyes light up when he sees new things, seeing him smile so big in the morning when we appear in front of him when he wakes up or hear him babble and coo to us when we talk to him. Pure joy & entertainment!

We can't wait to see what is in store for us in the future and what amazing moments he will bring us :)
