Colby & Mariah playing.

Grady - 5 months old, 9 lbs. 12 oz.

(this is still a newborn outfit - it is just now starting to be a little too small).

Happy Valentine's Day!

Grady had an appointment with his pediatrician at 8:45 this morning. It's quite an adventure to get myself, Colby & Grady (with all his meds & feeding him) ready to get to an appointment on time but we did it today. We were even a few minutes early! The doctor is happy with Grady's development. The only thing that she was a little concerned about is that he didn't gain quite as much weight as she had hoped. He is up to 9 lbs. 12 oz. She suggested starting rice cereal, but decided to wait until after he has his gastric study in Cleveland on the 26th. The last couple days he has been eating a lot, so hopefully by the next appointment she will be happier with his weight.

Tonight we had our first night out on the town. My mom came down to watch the boys & Ken and I went out to dinner with Steve & Rosy. It was really nice. We were only gone about 2 hours, but it was a nice break. Grady was good tonight - last night he was so fussy we didn't know what to do anymore. I was really getting nervous that something was wrong but then he finally settled down and went to sleep.
