Cute as a Button

Grady ponders the menu at Moxies..."hmmm what goes better with breast milk red or white wine?"
Mardi says "If you're gunna cry like that, that is as close as you're going to get!"

Flat out after a long day of cuddles, sleeping, farting and eating.

Baby Shower

Uncle Ed gets Grady started on cigars early. It doesn't matter if the law says they must be out of sight from minors. Someone is going to make sure they get a chance to try :D
Grady debates with Steve whether he is heavier than Steve's forearm or not.
Frankie get his cuddles in.
Kevin is happy to be back in Canada and all ready to play with Grady.
Steph curls up for her last cuddles of the night.

Grady makes his first chivalrous attempt with the ladies by protecting lady Stella from the paparazzi :D

Now that Sam is so big Susan gets another chance at holding a little one.

Mandy has no chance to be nervous as Mom pops Grady right into her arms.

Stella and Grady go for a walk, all bundled up and ready for some fresh air.

'Cross the Street

Mom breaks down and crosses the street because Grady is just too darn cute not to show off! What a warm welcome we recieve. It is nice to put a smile on everyone's face.

Adele reaches out for Grady rather than even saying hello to Mom! I know who is most important now!

Kim gets in some much needed cuddles!

Brenda looks right at home. She would have just taken Grady and kept on working if he didn't get so heavy.

Carrie finally meets Grady after meeting Brian for the first time weeks ago in the gym. Grady learns why dad felt like a "piece of meat" going into that gym full of ladies. These girls are boy crazy!

Meet the Jolly's? or Hunt-Jolly's

Megan jumps right in. Much better to cuddle Grady when he has a full tummy!
Ryan is heard to say "in two or three years Megs"

Thanks for the fab dinner you guys:D

Shenanigans

Auntie Babs tries to eat Grady in her desperation while waiting for appies at Boston Pizza. He doesn't look like he minds!

Nope that isn't a bend over my knee spanking for the 3 week old. It is the fav burp position as employed in West Ed after much searching for a good nursing spot!

Rollercoaster kisses. Don't worry Grandma Gloria - he is all strapped in.!

A Trip to the Mall

Possibly the only ones with a small, mall appropriate stroller. Definitely one of the few not using the stroller to hold bags. And we were smart enough to keep baby in the stroller rather than have a stroller AND a baby carrier!
Grady may be too young to appreciate a pirate ship just yet.
A least he was awake for most of the adventure!

Grandma Linda's House

Kaiser checks out Grady.
Airing things out after a long car ride.
Gotta stay clean for Grandma.

Goin' for a Roll

Leslie, Felicia and Mardi walk; Emma and Grady roll. Emma spends much of the walk trying to roll over in her stroller (hence the terrible photo) and the rest of the time getting carried by mom. I am sure us new moms will get the hang of it after a few walks:)

I don't wanna sleep

Not that it is too late at night, mostly I wanted to try out the posting a video option. But Grady says "I don't wanna go to sleep!, No amount of swinging is gunna make me tired." So far a trend seems to be occuring and the little mister is very awake from 11pm-1am lucky for us after that he seems to sleep until around 5am, just in time to eat and then spend some time with Dad before he leaves for work.

Caroline visits

2 weeks old!

Nicole crosses the street for a cuddle.

James indulges too!
Rebar says "this baby stuff is very tiring!"
Getting a tan...naw just some good ole vitamin D.
Watching football is fun.

A new way to make a burrito. This snuggly wrap is soft on the inside and out so it makes it more fun to cuddle with everyone. Don't worry Auntie Shelley I will fart in it lots before we pass it on to my upcoming little cousin! That way you don't have ot feel bad about all the awesome stuff I am passing along :D

Sept 11, 2008

When you are kinf of the house you deserve a comfy mattress but when you are so little they don't make memory foam to fit. No worries you can steal dad's pillow!

Candice meets Grady. Thanks again for watching the dogs on the big day. It was funny to find out you missed us coming home by a matter of minutes!

Warren jumps right in to hold the baby.
