Busy Weekend...

This weekend we had a fun visit from Mikey's sister, Jenine. She came over early Friday morning to pick Grady up and he spent the day with Aunt Jenine and Grandma. Friday night, we had an early dinner and just relaxed. Saturday, we went to the "Scratch Ankle" Festival in Milton. None of us were quite sure why it is called that, but it is basically an arts and crafts festival in downtown Milton that is about 2 blocks long! It was small, but the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed being outside. Saturday night, we grilled steaks and ate on the new patio. Grady loved sitting on Aunt Jenine's shoulders and pulling handfulls of hair!



He also had his first "people food" as we call it... carrots! He loved them and made a HUGE mess. We decided it was time for some food when we noticed the past several days that Grady follows our every bite from plate to mouth like a dog. Look at the mess he made...






And finally this weekend, we went out and bought some new bikes and a bike trailer for little Grady to cruise around in. Due to the ever expanding waistline 18 weeks post partum, I've picked up the exercise by walking the track at least 3 days a week and now the whole family can bike together! We bought beach cruisers which are much more comfortable than mountain bikes, and since we aren't going to take Grady on any steep, rocky trails anytime soon, these were perfect for us.

Don't you like the retro look?



And Mikey's along with the trailer...



We took our first ride after dinner tonight, with Grady and his teething ring in tote (yes, he is teething, that is a whole different story), we rode like the wind and Grady LOVED catching the breeze!






A few more to tag on... Grady is his exersaucer (mom tries not to let him get "overstimulated" with all those colors, noises, and spinny things"). He really enjoys it and we really enjoy him becoming a little more independent- as much as a 4 month old can be!
