More teeth!

I'm sure it is just a coincidence, but right after the last post about all the teeth that Grady has, he started teething again ... with a vengeance! It's interesting (to me anyway) because he's not that fussy, but he is drooling like crazy and chewing on everything. I came into the living room today and found him doing this:

Guess he'll have to think of something different to ask for at Christmastime...

Because he already has his two front teeth! (and they are huge =:)

Funny story: we were over visiting friends of ours who have a little boy who is almost eleven months old. Our friend, the little boy's Dad, said to me, "Grady sure has a lot of teeth." His little one actually has two more teeth than Grady ... it's just that Grady's are so big that it looks like he's got a full mouthful!

Sleeping baby

The past couple of days I've been sneaking into the room and taking pictures of Grady sleeping. He just looks so incredibly sweet.

Overall, Grady's a pretty good sleeper. He naps twice a day: about 90 minutes in the morning and 60 minutes in the afternoon. He goes to bed around 8:30pm and gets up for the day around 8:30am. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, he could be a bit better at actually staying asleep. During the night, he still wakes up 2-3 times ... sometimes 4-5 times ... those are tiring nights! Usually, he just needs a bit of comforting and he's back to sleep. And, he'll only be a baby once, so I don't mind getting up to give him a hug and a little snack - he's worth it.

Bananas ... yum!

I think that peas have been replaced ... Grady's new favorite food is bananas. He gets all excited when he sees me start to peel one for him to eat. At first, I was cutting the banana up into little pieces. Then, one day I thought I'd try him with the whole banana. He thought it was very cool to be able to just take a bite, so that's what we do now.

Monday morning

Grady spent some time on the floor playing with his toys. Ryder came by to check things out - Grady thought he'd check Ryder out - Ryder didn't think this was a good idea!

We are starting to see some movement out of Grady! Right now, he just goes in circles, but I'm sure he'll get the hang of going forwards one day soon. For now, it's fun to watch him spin himself around on the floor. He's getting pretty good at it and can reach a lot more of his toys this way. (Don't mind the strange grunting noise at the beginning of the video!)
