ONE FISH, TWO FISH, RED FISH, BLUE FISH

We all went to Atlanta this weekend to see old friends and visit Aunt Jenny. Aunt Jenny took Grady to the Atlanta Aquarium 0n Saturday and he absolutely loved it. He came home with a souvenir that fits his fish room perfectly. Thank you Aunt Jenny for such a wonderful day.

"I am not leaving without this whale shark!"

" One day I will catch that Grouper."

"Thank you Aunt Jenny."

Not so sure about this guy."Hey it is the Urtle off my wall."

"One day I will catch you."

JUST A FEW

First, Andy and Grady had their first all-boys weekend last weekend while I traveled to Memphis for a girls' weekend. They went to Savannah for part of the time while I was gone to get spoiled by D-Daddy and Grandma.

Grady has started doing the one armed army crawl - it's so cute and so funny!! We put him on the kitchen floor while we were unloading groceries and he army crawled to the dog bowl and started chewing - on ceramic. . . Then he grabbed the legs of one of the stools and started moving it around. I think we're in for it!

Of course most exciting for me, "Mama" is now in Grady's vocabulary. Yay!! Once he started saying it, he hasn't stopped. I think he actually knows that I'm "Mama" because Andy was holding him and he reached for me and said "Mama". It was more wonderful than I thought it would be to hear him say that!

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!

SO BUSY

Having a 8 month old boy during the holidays keeps us very busy. We have been trying to finish our christmas shopping, get the tree up, wrap presents, make travel plans, get the house ready for guests, and attend a bunch of Christmas parties. So please forgive us for not posting lately. Here are a few pictures of our boy. I am sure we will have more as it gets closer to Christmas.
