Grady is SIX!

I cannot believe my infant son is SIX today! In a lot of ways the time flew by but I do remember very vividly the hard days in the beginning. He was always sick! But he now he's a big dude in Kindergarten and living the dream. Here are some fun things about Grady:

1. He's a big boy! 60 pounds of love and about 50" tall! He wears size 7 clothes and size 1 shoes. 

2. Never met a food he wouldn't at least try! Big fan of avocados, pizza, chick fil a, Cheetos and breakfast in general. He eats so.much.breakfast. It's wild!

3. He's into all of the sports. Football, soccer and baseball are his favs. He's a great basketball dribbler too so we will see if he gets into that. His swimming has come a long way. Backstroke is his stroke!

4. He wants to be outside 24/7. Doing things inside other than playing Mario on the switch is kinda out of his norm. Let the boy be a boy outside and he's happy! His bike is his main jam outside these days. Hasn't been scooting as much lately. 

5. Always up for an errand with me. I can always count on him joining me and I love it!

6. He's a good boy at school from what I hear from his teacher. She told me last week that he's kind, he listens well and is a nice friend. Whew! He's also reading nicely and doing a great job in math. I'm proud of his progress in kindergarten with kids a whole year older than him. He's doing amazing. 

7. Still goes to bed at 7pm and wakes up at 6:16am for school via Alexa. Sleeps in on the weekends but not too much past 7am. It'll be interesting to see how he does this summer when he doesn't have to get up early. His sleep patterns will change like last year. 

8. He and Molly Anne are TIGHT. They're best buddies. I don't know what else to say other than they are very good friends and I hope it always stays that way! Yes they pick at each other like normal siblings but he is so, so good to her even when she isn't to him. Sorry Molly Anne but you know it's true!

9. He's a lovable little boy. Always loving on Mills, us, and loves little children that are younger than he is. He has a special heart for babies! It's kinda cute!

10. Any special adventure - he's in. A trip, going on a boat ride, going to a new playground, beach time all of it - he's in and there. Not shy. Full force in it! 

We love our Grady and can't wait to see him keep flourishing! He is AWESOME and I'm so glad he's mine! 

Oh, we gave him a basketball hoop for his big day!! So fun!! Excited about the family memories to come with this!
