Kid updates...

Grady had his two-month check-up earlier this week and he passed with flying colors! He weighs 11 lbs. and is now 23 in. long. The doctor said that he's in the 50th percentile in weight and 75th percentile in height, so overall, he's a healthy little boy!

Grady has been cooing and smiling a lot lately. It's so much fun! He especially loves Taylor...which is hard to believe b/c of how rough she is with him. Apparently he's not phased by it (and it's a good thing he won't remember how many time she has made him cry!). His little face just lights up when she sits near him and talks to him.

Grady's playing with his daddy.

Sweet boy

Taylor's Garden: She's mixing up the soil and water here.

Taylor's Garden: The seeds are in place!

Taylor's Garden: Let's hope they grow! We're trying to grow zinnias, marigolds, basil, strawberries and tomatoes. (The four larger pots contain Tyson's experiments)

Taylor's preparing her rocking horse for battle!!

And here's an encore performance of Taylor singing...this time playing the drums!

Big Girl Bed!

Taylor has her big girl bed now! She's been sleeping on her mattress for about a week now...and has done great! I think she really likes being able to roll out of bed and immediately play with her toys.

We just set up the bed today, so hopefully she'll do well sleeping on it. It's pretty low to the ground, so if she happens to roll off, it's not that far from the ground!

This was Tyson's old bed. We painted it green to give it a "girly" touch!

Getting on and off is no problem!

This is how Taylor pretends to sleep. Don't ask why she sticks
her bottom in the air!

Grady approves of his sister's bed!

East Texas visit

We traveled as a family of four for the first time to visit with Tyson's grandparents, Granny & Grandaddy, in Gilmer. Taylor had a blast playing at their house. She loved looking at the kittens....and probably would have stuck one in her pocket if we would have let her! Grady did very well on his first trip. He travelled great....he slept the whole way! Between napping in Granny, Aunt Nancy and Aunt Patty's laps, Grady had it made the whole time we were in Gilmer!


Taylor's checking out the kittens at Granny & Grandaddy's
house with her cousin Charles.

She REALLY liked the kitties!

On a nature walk with Daddy.

Taylor enjoyed being surrounded by all of the East Texas trees!

Hanging out in a deer stand.

Taking a quick break with Charles, Poppa and Daddy.

Meanwhile....Grady was living it up in Granny's lap!

Back at home...and back in Daddy's lap!

Grady's starting to smile! Yay!

He's also more alert.

Happy boy!

Woo hoo!
