Grady is upset about being in his swing.

This is our dog Molly right after her haircut.

Colby gave himself a "fat belly" in the sandbox.

Reece said "Colby put the sand in his shirt all by himself - I just watched."

I think he was afraid of getting in trouble.

This has been a crazy week - we are getting ready to go to Myrtle Beach! Both of my sisters & their families as well as Jolie & Roy had planned this trip last summer when I was pregnant before we even knew about Grady's heart defect. We kept the reservations - with everything we've been thru this year, we could really use a vacation!

Tuesday we had Grady evaluated for physical therapy. His adjusted age is 6 1/2 months & the therapists feel that he is doing everything a 5 month old baby would do & some of the things a 6 month old would do (which is very good considering he spent over 4 months in the hospital). They did recommend some Physical & Occupational Therapy and are just going to keep an eye on his Speech & Language Development. He will probably be going in for therapy either once a week or every other week. His first session will be the week we get back from vacation.

Grady is still not sleeping thru the night consistently. Every now & then he will sleep from midnight until 5 or 6 am but it is unusual. He usually gets up around 3 for a bottle, but then goes right back to sleep. He is also very demanding right now. He can be playing in his exersaucer but as soon as we leave the room he starts crying. He is definitely a little spoiled!

I better get back to packing. You can not even begin to imagine how much stuff we have to take along (pack n play, exersaucer, stroller, golf clubs, food, meds, medical records, etc.). Hopefully everything will fit in the van!
