9 Months Old!

Grady turned 9 months on the 24th. Hard to believe in just a few short months my sweet baby boy will be one! Right now Grady's favorite toy (besides anything of Dawson's) is this blow up toy from Uncle Shane & Auntie Lynn. He bats it around like crazy and thinks it's hilarious to look through it.
Oh, and did I mention Grady's crawling now? He started on January 3 which basically means I've barely sat down for the last 3 weeks. And yes, he quickly figured out how to climb stairs as well.
The greatest thing I have to say right now is we are a happy household!! Grady is finally sleeping...a lot! He's getting between 11-13 hours a night and taking two solid naps which means he's a happy baby, I'm a happy mama and in return that makes Dawson & Chad happier too.
Grady is also starting to be more accepting of solid foods, his favorites are carrots and bananas. We tried peas today and that didn't go so well...but really, who does like peas?
It's been so fun watching Grady's personality develop and grow every day. Him & Dawson are going to be the best of buds and they can not seem to get enough of each other. Now we just need to work on them not stealing each other's toys all day long!

Dawson & Mommy Day

Dawson and I were in need of some time with just the 2 of us so Grandma watched Grady and we headed to Jungle Playland in Mt. Vernon.
Dawson took a ride in the Bat mobile.
Jumped around in the ball pit.
Going through the obstacle course.
Over the suspended bridge.
My FAVORITE thing about this place is the adults are allowed to get in there and play too. We had so much fun crawling thru and over and sliding for hours.
Playing the drums.
Went fast down the slides.
Now Dawson and I are going to be sure to have a "date" at least once a month because it was so special spending that time together!

Happy New Year!

Chad and I rang in the New Year at Katie's new house. We enjoyed a night out together while Dawson and Grady stayed at Grandpa & Grandma Gartner's house.
Some of you may recognize this picture of Katie...we had to update the one taken almost 5 years ago.
Katie & Ruben supplied a champagne toast for everyone at midnight.
This was Katie telling everyone to be quiet before giving one of her infamous speeches.

S-P-O-I-L-E-D!!!

And these pictures were taken before we celebrated Christmas with the Bennett's!
