We have come from this...

...to this in 6 months!

He's still a little peanut!

Colby is a great big brother!

Grady look so much older in real clothes!

Grady's favorite position to sleep.

Our little miracle is 6 months old! Can you believe it?! He has come such a long way (as you can see from the pictures). He can roll from his back to his stomach, he is cooing, smiling and laughing out loud & he has slept thru the night a few times now. We are really hoping the sleeping thru the night becomes more consistent. He did it 2 nights in a row so I really had my hopes up, but the last several nights he has gotten up again. I'm not quite sure how to "make" him sleep & not get hungry - I'm sure it will come (not soon enough though).

He is doing well with his medications. He is still on a lot of medicine, but he takes it much better than he did at first. Also, the vitamin that he hated, he doesn't have to take anymore. I am still looking forward to the day that he is down to just 3 meds at 8am & 8pm - it will be a breeze then.

Grady definitely loves attention. He is such a little stinker. I can lay him down & he will fuss until someone comes and talks to him & as soon as you walk away he gets mad again. It's hard to get anything done around here but that's ok. Also, he won't go to sleep (except at middle of the night feeds) without being bounced or rocked which is completely opposite of what Colby was. We had taught him from the beginning to fall asleep on his own. We didn't have that luxury with Grady & I don't have the heart to just lay him down & let him scream. I'm sure I will have to at some point - I guess because of all he's been thru he's getting a little spoiled.

I can't wait for spring. Hopefully, when the weather breaks, there won't be as much sickness going around & we can finally go out more. Ken arranged for Michelle & I to go out tonight while he watches the boys. Yippee!
