Trying to get pictures of the new little tooth:

See what I mean about all the drool!!!

Grady's standard look these days ... always with the finger in his mouth!


Attempt #1 of getting a picture of his tooth ... definitely not successful ... you can't see the tooth at all.

Attempt #2 ... a little more successful. If you look closely, you can kind of see a little white spot on his bottom right gums ... that's the tooth!

A TOOTH!

Grady's very first tooth is poking through his gums. It's his bottom right one and we can just barely see it. I could really tell it was coming up when I put my finger on his gums ... there is a sharp little area and it's looks a little bit white. I can't get a good picture of it, but I'll keep trying. He's been pretty happy all day, which I'm kind of surprised about because I'm sure it hurts. I guess this explains all the drool lately!!!

Our new stroller

Now that Grady is big enough to sit up in a jogging type stroller, we decided it was time to get a proper stroller for going on big walks. I wanted one of the three wheeled ones so that we could take it on all of the trails around here. We found this one at Wal-Mart. It has great reviews and was reasonably priced, so we bought it.

So far, I'm really happy with it. The seat can be adjusted from reclined to upright, there is a cup holder for the parents and one for the baby, it has a 5-point harness, the front wheel can swivel or be locked, it's easy to fold up, and it fits in the car (with Ryder in the very back)! I think Grady likes it too ....

Grady and Easton

This past weekend we were in Gold River for the annual Watt family golf tournament/reunion. We had a great time visiting with all the family. Of course, Grady and Easton were the hit of the party!

looking a little stunned!

Swimming at the river

We've been having some beautiful summer weather lately. Last weekend, we took Grady and Ryder swimming at the river near our house. It was cold, but so refreshing! We even dunked Grady's little toes ... he didn't seem to mind too much.

Now, we just have to figure out a system for keeping him covered from the sun. I think we'll have buy one of those little UV bathing suits for next summer.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our afternoon at the river:

Happy Four Month (plus a day) Birthday Grady!

7 days old

one month old

two months old



three months old



today ... four months old!!! (plus one day :)

At four months old, Grady weighs 17 pounds and is 26 inches long. He has (all of sudden) realized that there is a whole world out there and is interested in everything.

He's always grabbing at his toys and putting them into his mouth. He can roll from back to front and front to back (this one happens more often).

Grady sleeps really well at night and still naps for a couple of hours each day. He spits up alllll the time, but apparently, this is normal!

He laughs and giggles when he's happy and he definitely lets us know when he's not.

He's the absolute light of our lives and we love him so incredibly much. Happy Four Month Birthday Grady.

Put on your raincoat!

Okay, in this picture it's just drool, but there is always something coming out of Grady's mouth! Either he's drooling like crazy or spitting up. Seriously, he spits up so much I am surprised that he is even growing at all.

I am getting used to it and don't give it a second thought now when I change my t-shirt for the third or fourth time in one day. However, I always warn people who want to hold him ... "Be careful, he may get sick" ... maybe I should just hand over a raincoat with the baby :)
