Growing Growing and more Growing

Grady is getting over a cold but he has been a trooper through the stuffy nose and cough. We have been pumping him full of baby vitamins to keep him cleared out and we are happy to say that it seems to have worked it course (for the most part). After 10 days of this cold we decided to take him to the pediatrician, not for medication but to just make sure that the cold had not gotten to his chest or ears. Thankfully it had not. While we were there we asked for the nurse to chart his height and weight for us.... Well Grady at almost 9 months weighs 23.9 lbs and is 29 1/2 inches long which is 90-95% on each category. I knew that he was flying through his clothes but I had not idea he was this big. And at 9 months is is now wearing 12-18months clothes. Although he is definitely slimming down, due to his over abundance of movement, he still has his baby fat!

Here lately we have had many people tell us that they are faithful viewers of our blog. Today we had a very nice man tell me that he had gotten our web address from his mom (whom I work with) and he blessed us so much by telling us how he has been praying for our little Grady. Thank you so much for all the prayers. God is so good and He has a way of bringing people together who might have never met, but joins them together by His blood.

Thanks to the prayer, Grady will probably be out of his helmet in 2 weeks. At that point he will only be wearing it at night. We thank you so much for the prayers for our family.

This afternoon we went to my brother's house Grady was able to have some time with this cousins Will, Tyler, and Caleb. Grady is a bit smaller but he is right in there with them. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family on both sides!

A few weekends ago Grady's friend Elijah came over to visit but Grady was not the best host and was already asleep for the night before Elijah even got here. But, we had fun spending time with him anyway.
