this is a short video taken with my cell phone. you wil need quicktime player from Apple to play it on pc. Quicktime is free to download at www.apple.com/quicktime
kind of ironic that verizon doesn't make an agreement to sell the iphone but have to use apple's media player to play videos.
Momma was just trying to get a picture of Grady looking into the camera and look who smiled big for her. i may be partial but i think he is a very cute baby. He has only just started smiling and it is kinda rare. it was a minor miracle for Melissa to catch it on film. Way to go Mom!
today Grady went to his first restaurant. one that Mommy and daddy go to a lot, Otani. we went for lunch with uncle Bobby and aunt Danielle. the first picture is Grady all dressed up and ready to go, the second is him enjoying himself at the restaurant. it probably looks like he is sleeping at the restaurant but he really is having a good time. he was a perfect little gentleman at the restaurant and didn't cry at all, he did take a little poop but i think i was the only one who noticed because i heard him push it out but never smelled anything. he was popular with the other lunchers at our table (otani is a hibachi type place). there was one blue hair at our table who kept asking me questions despite the fact that she was obviously hard of hearing. i tried to speak especially loud for her but i could tell she didn't hear 2 words of what i said. oh well i guess she was just being nice. 
look at these 2 friends. they were just chilling on the couch together. i like how they both have their front paws crossed. i can't believe i was able to get the camera and take their picture without them moving. it helped that they were both looking at me like i was nuts. i was holding Grady and stretched out to get the camera out of one of the tables in the living room and stood up to take their picture. we still love our puppies. they still get plenty of love and attention now that Grady is here.
Check out the big boy! he's one month old today! talk about time flying. definitely the fastest month of my life. i can't believe its possible but i love Grady more and more everyday. the first month has been an up and down month for all of us. Grady was a big sleepy head when he came home from the hospital now he's Mr. Fussypants. we are getting by the best we know how and trying all kinds of stuff to keep him content. admittedly it was a much tougher battle before grandma got him a swing. also, thanks to grandma for the one month birthday cake. thanks to everyone who has been helping Melissa and i with Grady, whether you come once a day or once a week it always makes me feel so happy to have people come and love our baby boy. 
"I got your nose Mommy!" Melissa and i both noticed that Grady holds his hands like this pretty often. we both thought he was playing got your nose with us. 
i got to feed him a bottle one time. it was neat. it was almost over as quick as it started. there was barely time to get a picture of it. Grady doesn't get bottle fed. Momma is doing 99% of the feeding. she had done a little pumping so we could mix in a baby vitamin. he doesn't like the baby vitamin right out of the bottle. he actually almost chokes on the vitamin when we try to give it to him straight from the little eye dropper. we have subsequently quit giving him any bottles so that he can be a good little breast feeder and not get confused by sometimes having bottles, pacifiers and real momma nips. we want him to focus on the real mccoy!
