Grady Boy

almost home 3 months

Things Grady loves: 

The Beep Beep (car)
Ya (outsisde)
eat or snack (anytime he gets to eat!)
Ewie (Ellie)
wee (when Ryan throws him up in the air)
Mama (mom)
appe-suuu (applesauce)
baba (bottle)
slolla (stroller)--so thankful he likes to sit and take walks!!
nigh nigh (when it's time to go to bed)
wa wa (water.) Drinking it, splashing or swimming in it, washing hands in it---you name it. This kiddo loves the water

**Grady loves to push anything he can: laundry baskets, strollers, ez roller, scooters....and he's incredibly coordinated. Totally impressed with his ability to do sharp turns, back ups and turn arounds. haha

Things that cause Grady to be nervous:

lawn mowing companies (although he's intrigued)
the garage door opening and closing
dark rooms
when I leave him and he's not sure of where I am going

Grady fears...
dogs
new environments, if he's not prepared or feeling fully secure and confident

And now it's yellow

Griff's karate belt...

It's yellow! So proud of this boy. What a stud. He broke his first board and made it to yellow. We are so proud of him! ❤️

His favorite phrase right now: "what up bro?"

Ha! 

Cross country races---take 5/ take 2

First trip to GUST

First trip to the pumpkin farm for this season. Never gets old. Ever. 

Grady loved exploring. He Could have cared less about the pumpkins, just liked pulling the wagon around. Griff of course wanted a donut and cider and loved the cows! 👍

Bike ridin with a stud

One thing I'm so thankful for in regards to Ryan's job is that he can work from home during Grady's naps so griff and I can go explore. Some days it has been just a walk, but today we went on a 5 mile bike ride and we both loved every minute of it. He cracks me up and just talks about anything and everything. He brings me so much joy.

I took him to Lourdes University and we went in the Chapel where our wedding pictures were taken. Of course we stopped into the Franciscan Center and I showed him where we danced, too. Wow so crazy how fast life goes by. I remember walking into that hall when I was 20 years old and talking to the lady about our decorations. Now here I am with my third child, 15 years later. Wow.

Grady's celebration (B-day) party!!!

Brothers

It's been a hard road for big brother Griff as he's been adjusting to having a youngin in the house. But it's been SO fun to slowly watch that change and see their relationship change and grow. They are laughing together and learning each other. They push each others' buttons and they also have grace. It's the best. I am so thankful for their days together as school has now begun full time for the girls.
