5 Months Old!

Grady turned 5 months old yesterday! Hard to believe how much time flies! He is growing like a little weed! We had to take him to the doctor last week because he had a cold that wouldn't go away. With me having had the flu, we wanted to make sure that he hadn't come down with it also. When we went to see the doctor, they weighed him and he weighed in at a whopping 17 pounds, 6 oz.! Thankfully, he didn't have the flu...just a really nasty cold!

We have been trying out all sorts of new things. One thing in particular that Grady-man LOVES is his Jumperoo. I'd been hesitant to put him in it because he still has reflux and I could just see all that bouncing around making the spit-up attacks even worse! I wasn't that thrilled with the thought of puddles of spit-up on my carpet! ha! But anyway, we decided to give it a try. We broke out some old blankets to catch the spit up that inevitably came, and Grady was happy as a lark. He LOVED it! All the lights and music kept him entertained for quite a while.

He is about to out-grow his bathtub just because he is SO long! He's not ready for the next "stage" of the tub until he can sit up on his own. So I'm not sure what we'll do until then! His poor little feet are already about to hang off the edge of the tub! I guess the poor little fellow had no choice but to have extremely long legs! Needless to say though, he LOVES getting a bath. His new thing is to kick those big feet of his as hard as he can in the water and see what a big splash he can make!
Here is a video of the little motor-mouth and a shot of his two teeth which are REALLY starting to break through!
