CATCHING UP

Christmas morning - as you can see, Santa was very good to us!!

The only thing that could possibly be cuter would be this picture without Paci in his mouth.

Laughing with Daddy.

Playing with some new toys on Christmas afternoon.

Brushing his teeth with his first tooth brush from Mimi.

His new trick is sticking out his tongue - he does it all the time and it's adorable!

Making the rounds through the neighborhood on Christmas day.

Riding his new truck.

Playing on the living room floor with his tongue sticking out.

Relaxing in his chair.

On our way to the Pulaski's for our annual Friendship Dinner.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! As I'm sure you can tell from our lack of blogging, life around here has been a little nuts. We had Christmas parties, Christmas dinners, getting sick, Christmas shopping, wrapping, decorating, etc. We celebrated Andy's birthday, D-Daddy's 60th birthday, Grandma's birthday, Jesus' birthday, our 6th anniversary, had tons of family in town for Christmas, went back to work for a few days, celebrated New Years Eve with friends, then Andy and I went on a short vacation while Nana and Aunt Lou Lou came to Charleston to hang out with Grady. That's the short story. We had a great Christmas and loved the time we got to spend with our family, but it wore us out! Andy got me a camcorder for Christmas so I'm going to figure out how to get video on here so that everyone can see Grady in action, but it's not gonna happen on this blog, so enjoy the pictures for now.

I walked into Grady's room at school to pick him up a few weeks ago and realized that I was no longer picking up a baby, but a little boy. He's not quite crawling, but he's so close. He watches everything and everyone so intently and tries to mimic sounds and movements. He babbles and talks nonstop and never stops moving. He's got 2 teeth now and he feeds himself puffs and yogurt melts. As you can see, he is definitely a paci baby - I'm not sure how we are ever going to wean him off of the pacifier because he will go to sleep just about anywhere as long as he has his Paci and Maggie the Monkey. He just lights up our life and there's nothing more wonderful than hearing him laugh and seeing his huge smile.

Things have finally seemed to slow down a little bit, but we still have a busy January! We can't wait for Mimi and Granddaddy to visit, I'm headed to Memphis for a girls weekend, and Grady's Godparents, Patrick and Lindsay, are due to give birth to their son Max mid-January so we're hoping to be traveling to Seneca for that. We promise to keep posting pictures though! We hope you have a wonderful new year!
