One Month



Bella makes tummy time look easy.

How quickly a month goes by!  Grady turned one month old today and we still look at each other in amazement every day that he is ours.

Grady 1 month Facts:

• His eyes still look blue and his hair blond
• He tips the unofficial Johnson scale at a little over 9 lbs.
• He outgrows his clothes in length much before he does in width (he takes after his dad and not his mom in this respect). It makes me sad every time he outgrows an outfit.
• If he has a family resemblance at this point it may be to his cousin Tyler (see picture below). It will be fun to see if this resemblance keeps up!
• He has given up all binkies except for the SF Giants and the BSU Broncos ones - good choices, G.
• Despite my worry that the name Grady had no nickname, he has picked up quite a few nicknames on his own including Gradyman, Gradymon (the Jamaican version of Gradyman), Gradykin, Gradybug, G, G-Man, Gradyboy, and Gradymonster.  
• He is a good sleeper and a generally a very happy baby.
• We think that the cutest things about him are:
• the way he stretches when you unswaddle him
• the little smiles that we are starting to get
• his little naked buns
• his funny facial expressions including the one eyebrow raise and Benjamin Button (old man wrinkled forehead).
• We really do love him more every single day!!

The one eyebrow raise

Starting to smile. . . melts my heart!



Naked buns and an unshowered mama!

Our 85 year old baby, AKA "Benjamin Button"

In other news, we packed up both of our blondies and headed to the mountains this past weekend.  The overnight trip to McCall was a success by all measures!  Grady did great in the car, had his best nights sleep ever (11:00 p.m. - 6:15 a.m.), and we got in some good eats and great family time. 

Our blond girl did much worse on the ride than our boy!

Thanks for everything guys!
