Our baby's growing up!

Yes, I know, it has been awhile and to be honest it does not look like things are going to be slowing down for the Blanchard clan anytime soon. Everyday it feels as though Grady's "baby" days are coming to a close and that we are right around the corner to the toddler years. He is now 10 1/2 months old and he is just doing so many fun things. He is a crawling maniac! He loves chasing the cat and being chased by mommy and daddy. He also enjoys mimicing others, playing "so big" and learning to click with his tongue. He just stood by himself for the first time today for at least 5 seconds! I can see walking is going to be right around the corner. He continues to make motor noises and he "drives" everything he can find. His favorite toy right now is his John Deere tractor that he walks with. My little baby is growing up and we are just enjoying every moment of it!

This is Grady at 10 monthsThis is our little man after sleeping through the night for the first time in 10 months! After Labor Day, Mommy and Daddy set a date to "help" our baby sleep through the night. It was difficult to listen to him plead for Mommy, but now I am seeing that the benefits of a full night's sleep outweighs the "trauma" of a couple of nights of screaming. Bright eyed and Bushy tailed!Grady so enjoys swinging and all the aspects that a playground has to offer. He has so much fun on the swings and will even cry if we take him out before he is ready. Yes, we are already at that stage. This is our baby sleeping through the night. He has a tendency to "burrow" beneath his covers. It is always a surprise to see what position we will find him in. Grady's new game is growling and "scaring" Mommy and Daddy. This video just cracks me up every time. He reminds me of a little lizard here.
