Classic Grady

This is Grady's classic face that he pulls. We get a kick out of it. He is our little muffin.

Every Sunday we watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at 9:30. We love to turn it on and listen to the music and enjoy Sunday. Ever since Grady was a baby he has loved this tradition! He loves to watch the choir. He gets mesmorized by the music and he loves all the pictures they show. The funniest thing is when Lloyd Newell (the guy who narrates) come on Grady gets the biggest smile and laughs. He loves him! It is the cutest thing. So I will be sad that we are moving to 9:00 church and will miss the program. Grady most of all.

Go Cougars!

I know they lost but we are still BYU fans! Grady loves his Daddy and looks for him whenever I say "where's daddy?"

Thankful!

Thanksgiving this year was spent at the Nordgren's. We had a wonderful time! We were so excited for our first thanksgiving with our Grady man. I have so much to be thankful for! I am blessed everyday with loving husband and a sweet little boy. I made a killer coconut cream pie from scratch. It was amazing! I already have requests to make it again. So worth it to make the real thing. That morning we had it planned out to the T when Grady would take his nap and we were right on track. We put him down and he woke up 25 minutes later! What?? He is usually the best napper and sleeps at least an 1 1/2. I just about had a freak out because I knew that it was going to throw the whole day off but I had to take deep breaths and just go with the flow. He did great! A little tired but so happy to be with his family.

Grady loved eating Thanksgiving dinner- turkey, potatoes, beans, corn, stuffing and rolls. You can see his tired eyes. He went down for a nap right after this picture!
Grady played and played with his cousins! He loves his cousins so much and lets them pretty much do anything with him.
The beautiful set up by my wonderful Mother in law.

This is what I am thankful for this year!

Fall is here!

On monday we decided to go the pumpkin patch that is just around the corner from our house. It was so cute. I think there is nothing better. Even better is that it was Regan's idea. Grady loves being outside so this was a win for him. And I couldn't believe how cheap it was. We will definitely be going again. They had a hayride, a corn maze, tons of old tractors and lots of pumpkins! Grady is our little pumpkin and makes everything more exciting!

Grady is 8 months old!

• Grady is the best snuggler! He gives such good loves and kisses. Whenever I pick him up or if I haven't seen him for awhile he gives me the biggest hug and kiss. He is very sweet.
• He loves people. He is such a little charmer.
• He is very chill and serious. Sometimes we call him serious sam. Mostly it is because he is a thinker.
• He loves his family!
• He finally loves baby food! He loves bananas, garden vegetables and cereal puffs. He gets so excited when we bring out the puffs and shake the can!
• He scoots when he is sitting up and can get pretty far. It is pretty funny.
• Still no teeth.
• He trys to pull himself up to standing.
• He loves to stand and thinks he is so big when he is standing!
• He pounds his chest like Tarzan. It is so funny.
• He loves books!
• His favorite toy is a little monkey. He gets so excited whenever he sees it.
• He is a great sleeper.
• He doesn't fit into his pants because of his thighs. So we have had to go up to 12 months pants even though they are too long.

Everyday we just can't believe how lucky we are that we have this little boy in our lives. He is the highlight of our lives.

This is the sweetest boy

One word to describe this little boy is SWEET. Oh how I love him!
