Where does the time go?

Wow, it has been 8 months since I last updated this blog. You can tell by the pictures. I started to change out the header with more updated pictures but decided I wanted to look at them just a little longer. In just 2 weeks Grady will turn a year old. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. People tell you all the time- enjoy it now, it will go by fast, next thing you know they will be in kindergarden (as some people have waved to their lil one recently on their way to kindergarden). Whoa! Put on the breaks. I am having a hard enough time with my son turning 1 let alone thinking of going to kindergarden! I wish time would just slow down a little.

So now for the update on Grady. He is 30" tall and 20lbs. He has zero teeth but will gum the heck out of food. He gave up puree food about 3 months ago and since then has been feeding himself anything I break up in front of him.

When I say puree food, I mean I made all of his food. I will admit I was kind of obsessed with it. My sister started making Jackson's food and when Grady started eating I thought I would give it a try. And it worked so well. It was so easy! My sister gave me a website to follow (www.wholesomebabyfood.com) and so for the last 7 months, I have made all of Grady's food. I wouldn't even know where to begin with jar food. I am certainly not opposed to store bought baby food, but making the food was so easy I just stuck with it. He's a really good eater, so I'd like to think that had something to do with it. My weekly trips to the farmers market have been fun too!

So Grady doesn't really crawl on all 4s he army crawls on his elbows and knees/feet. Its crazy to see him scoot around so fast like that. The only time he crawls on all 4s is on the hardwood or if hes not wearing a shirt LOL. He is pulling up and walking along all of the furniture and pretty much getting into everything.

His new thing now is balls. He loves balls and loves throwing them. I've got a little baseball player on my hands! And we discovered he is definitely a righty. He even says "baaaa".

Here are some pics and video. You probably won't hear back from me on the blog for a while LOL Lets face it, being a working mom is tough. :-)
