May Update

The month started out with Grady letting out his first chuckle! I have to admit after a month of endless diapers, feedings, nights, etc....it was so nice to get some positive feedback. Totally gratifying! This special moment came just in time to celebrate my first Mother's Day. We made sure to get it on video so all could enjoy. (Ignore our wrestling dogs in the background!)


John finished up finals in early May and is officially in the ASU Electrical Engineering program! It was great to have John on a break the last couple of weeks of my leave. It felt like an extended vacation with trips to the lake and the zoo. We also decided to catch a movie at the Drive In, which was a nice adult evening and we didn't have to worry about Grady disturbing anyone. Of course, we did not stay for the double feature. Staying out until 10pm was a stretch for us!

Grady had his two month check up at the end of the month. He was 23" and 11lbs 12oz. He also had his first round of immunizations. Needless to say, he had a rough night (and so did we). Our doctor said we could give him infant Tylenol. So after about an hour and a half of nonstop crying and a low temperature of 99.7, John made an emergency trip to Walgreen's. (We got the generic stuff because of the recall...just in case you were worried) About a half hour later, Grady was asleep. Not looking forward to repeating that again in July!

Memorial Day weekend my sister and her husband came to visit. We had such a great time having them here and Grady loved getting spoiled by his Aunt and Uncle G!

I know the slide shows are a little cheesy, but it is hard to upload all the pics so here are some of our favorite pics from May.
