Happy Birthday Grady!

Grady is one year old today! We can hardly believe how fast this wonderful year has flown by! We have enjoyed every second with him and thank God for this blessing everyday. Grady continues to get faster and faster with his crawling and cruising around tables, walls or anything he can hang-on to. He can stand alone for a few seconds and even took his first step the other day! He hasn't taken more than one step at a time. He is saying a few words now. "Ste" for Steve for the guy on Blue's Clues, "bye-bye" and he waves bye-bye, "dite" for light, and of course mama, dad dad and naaa naa (when he's upset) are still his favorites. He can point to his head, ears and nose if you ask him. He can also point to the lights and speakers in a room if you ask him. For some reason he really likes lights and speakers. He also loves to put his finger into holes and of course is always sticking his finger in his ears and now nose (lovely, I know). He also loves to give hugs and kisses. We are absolutely, completely, unconditionally, head-over-heels in love with Grady. Our hearts hurt at times because of how great our love is for him (I'm sure only other parents will understand that). We just don't want him to grow up and it's happening way too fast! Hey ladies, want to dance with me?

I just want to grab and kiss those chubby checks!

The last few pics in this outfit were hard to get. He was done sitting still.

Yes, that is your ear Grady.

Finally got a good one in this outfit.

AND, we're done!

I just need my blanket now or anything soft will do! He was out before I got out of the parking lot and is still asleep! I think we wore him out.
