No, Grady is not stuck at 4 days old!

We have been super busy the past 2 weeks with visitors, visitors, and more visitors... so I have had little time to post an update. Not to mention that Grady takes up most of our "spare" time, so spending time on the computer is more of a luxury. Man, how life has changed! It's partially my fault because I am a little OCD about putting him down. I feel guilty putting him in the swing all by himself. Sometimes I sit on the floor next to him so he's not alone. No wonder I don't have any time for myself!

Since Christmas Day, we have had nonstop company! Here's a list of our family and friends that came to see Grady:

Auntie Em (Emily)

Uncle Brian

Aunt Robin

Uncle Beau

Aunt KK (Katie)

Big Daddy (Dad)

Nanny (Charlotte- Oops, no picture!)
Mimi and Papa

Steve
Nancy
Carol
Cathy
Mrs. Marler
Maggie
Aunt Jenine

Uncle Tom
Gerri
Uncle Steve

We will be adding more pictures of our visitors as they are sent to us!

So as you can see, we have been very busy! We definitely enjoyed spending time with our family and friends, and Grady especially enjoyed all the cuddles and hugs! While everyone was here, Emily surprised us with the news that she is engaged, and Katie surprised us with the news that she is pregnant! So, I guess if you want to have a baby, come spend some time with Mikey and I- it seems to be "catchable"! Grady will have lots of little cousins soon!

Grady has really changed the past couple of weeks. He is awake a lot more during the day and very alert. He loves to lay back and stretch his arms and legs. We love just sitting around and watching his funny faces and listening to his sweet sounds... (well, most of them are sweet- those of you who have visited know that he can make some not so sweet noises also!). He's been sleeping pretty good at night lately. We get at least four hours at a time, which we think is great! He wakes up to eat and then goes right back to sleep most of the time.

So we are slowly trying to settle into a routine and get used to our new roles as mom and dad and enjoying every minute! I will try to do better posting pictures and updates. He is changing so fast and I don't want y'all to miss a beat!!!!
