My little guy is 3 months old now. Where did the time go? We were watching video of Grady at the hospital this past weekend when my parents were in town and I can't get over how much he has changed. He is full of personality now. I actually got him to belly laugh for the first time today - best sound ever. Well, maybe I can't commit to best sound ever because the little noises he makes as he sleeps on my chest are priceless. And so are the "grrrs" he just started making. Okay, any noise he makes is the best sound ever.
I can never pick out my favorite picture of Grady, probably because I take about 100 each day. But these are pretty darn cute...

I've got his cries and grunts and coos down now, I think. He has a very exaggerated pout when he wants something and it isn't happening fast enough. But when he is tired its a very lazy cry, not full blown. You have to hear it to understand what I'm talking about. Hilarious! It does make life easier now that he is communicating more and I am understanding what he needs/wants.
He is also grabbing a lot more now. He just figured out that mommy has hair and its fun to swat at and pull on. He also grabs my arm when I change him and tries to shove it in his mouth. If you didn't know any better, you would think I starve this child. He tries to put everything in his mouth. I keep looking for teeth, but I don't see any signs of a tooth coming yet.
Grady is still sleeping like a champ, but I used to be able to put him down awake and he would put himself to sleep and he doesn't do that anymore. He is really easy to put down still, but we usually have to go back into his nursery once or twice to get him back to sleep. Still not complaining though, he sleeps 10-11 hours straight :) Thank God because when my alarm goes off at 4:30 A.M. starting next week (yep, tearing up just typing this), I'm going to need all the sleep I can get! And while were on the topic of sleep, I changed his sheets this morning and looked down and saw a clump of hair right where his head rests. I about died. Seriously I think there were 20 little pieces of hair. And now he has a bald spot on the back of his head. Cute and silly!
One thing that is new that I'm not too thrilled about is he is developing fear. He has been listening to Porter bark since before he was born and until this week he hasn't given it a second thought. But this past week Porter gave a couple of loud barks to some poor innocent person walking by our house (how dare them!) and Grady got really still and listened intently and all of the sudden his bottom lip curled up and he started to cry. It was the cutest and saddest thing I have ever seen. He also showed signs of being afraid of people. I'm hoping this is a short phase. Although I'm fine if he is afraid of strangers for the rest of his life - there are sick people out there!
I feel like I say this every month, but this is my favorite age so far. I love how expressive he is and the endless smiles he gives us, especially in the morning when I say "good morning sunshine"! But as we packed away and gave away some of his newborn clothes, a part of my already misses that age. However, I am loving every second of him and I can't wait to see what the next month holds.
XOXO,
Courtney
