10 weeks old

I'm feeling like a broken record these days, but I cannot get over how fast Grady is growing. Maybe its because he is only 10 weeks old but has doubled in weight since birth, or that he is now wearing all 3 month clothes and even 3-6 month, or that when people ask how old he is and I tell them 10 weeks they look shocked and say "wow he's a big baby". Whatever the reason, I still cannot get over it.

Every week he learns something new and it amazes me. This week he found his tongue and now that he knows its there he won't put it back in (of course until I grab the camera!) I think he gets this from Aunt Sarah!

I think his face has definitely changed and although he still looks just like Dave, I think I see a little of me in him now. Maybe? Wishful thinking?

He drinks 5 ounces every two hours and don't you dare shortchange him because he will let you have it! I think he drinks so much during the day because he is making up for sleeping 11 hours straight (God love him!) I think I'm going to have to upgrade his bottles - mommies any suggestions? Check out the belly on this kid...

Grady is days away from rolling over. He gets his feet and legs in position for the roll over, but he can't quite figure out his arm situation. So cute!

He is playing independantly for longer periods of time now. I've caught him a few times this week playing by himself and laughing. I'm dying to know what he was thinking about that made him laugh! Before I would play with him on his activity mat and he would play for about 10 - 15 minutes and then would be over it. Now he kicks and swats at his toys on the mat for about an hour. In fact he was playing so hard the other day when I picked him up the back of his head was damp and little curls formed - it was sweat! I couldn't believe it. He literally worked up a sweat from playing. Here's a little clip of Grady hard at work (if you scroll to the bottom of the blog and turn the music down you can hear a little Grady giggle :)

Another new and exciting discovery for Grady is the mirror. I hold him and show him the mirror and he gets the silliest look on his face - like he is flabergasted by what he is seeing. If I keep talking and smiling while facing the mirror he eventually smiles back, but you can tell he is utterly bewildered by it!

I can't wait to see what he will be up to next week!

XOXO,
