First Week Photo Update

I cannot believe it has already been a week!  It has been the fastest week of our lives and we have had so much fun getting to know this guy.  Here is a photo packed update from week one.

Grady met big puppy sister Bella who is absolutely amazing with him, a little to my surprise and much to my delight!

We were all spoiled with the help of Kim.  She swooped in like a little angel cooking meals, doing laundry, lending a hand, and giving Grady lots of extra snuggles.  We were SO GRATEFUL for her help and so happy that Grady got in 4 full days of grandma loving.

Another grandma stopped by with the most awesome gift for Grady.  Robin has a tradition of making a quilt for each grandbaby and this time around she refused to give it to us until we told her his name, which she embroidered on the alligator.  It is the most beautiful quilt ever and just so special!!!!  Thank you Robin!

Grandpa snuck some cuddles in too!

Chris took the week off and we found ourselves creating new family traditions like evenings on the porch and nighttime walks.   I might lose it tomorrow morning when we say goodbye to him in the morning.

We cannot really tell who the little man looks more like, but we've decided that he definitely has his dad's feet, big toe and all. 

Grady met his first girlfriend Kennedy, daughter of friends Ty and Leah born June 23rd.  Grady has a bit to catch up on in the hair category. 

We've been enjoying the warm summer evenings outside as we poke and prod Grady for the two hours before bedtime trying to readjust his days and nights.  I will proudly say that this little man only woke up once last night! Woooo hoooo Grady!  I know every night won't be like that, but I will celebrate that victory.

And we've all spent time cuddling with Grady under his big orange G making sure to absorb this special time as much as we can.

We are so blessed.  Tonight we celebrate 6 years of marriage and Grady gets his first Gradysitter.
