Grady Did It!

Grady slept through the night on Wednesday, January 14th! We put him down around 10:30 pm, and he woke up at 6:30 am! So far, this has been a once in a lifetime event because last night I was up twice with him. Maybe he will sleep through the night again tonight.

I was dreaming up movie titles of my life right now, and I'm currently thinking about "No Sleep for New Mothers." (A spin of "No Country for Old Men.")

SNL

I have watched Saturday Night Live for as long as I can remember and even through the poor years. The past season was hilarious. Check out this skit from the past weekend.

Milestones

Tomorrow, Grady will be seven weeks already! He has already had two big milestones. On Friday, January 2nd, we saw him smile for the first time. Tonight, Brooks made him smile! He is also beginning to make cooing sounds and express happiness (but it's not a laugh just yet).

On Thursday, January 8th, we were at Phil and Emily's house for dinner. Grady had some tummy time. We all watched him roll from his tummy onto his side! We all cheered loudly; you would have thought we were at a sporting event!

A Busy Weekend

It is Sunday morning and so far we have had a fairly productive weekend. Friday night we went out for fish with our friends John Melahn and the Stauffachers. We tried the Bridges GC restaurant and I would give them the thumbs up. Here are some of the pictures from the last few days.

Grady getting ready to leave for dinner Friday night. Of course he looks like this no matter where he is going...

Grady getting to meet Bob and Jessie's son Trenton, 7 1/2 months old. Bob and I play softball together for the Red Shed.

Saturday morning I was inpired by this website http://deadspin.com/tag/baby-mangino/ Assuming he grows a goatee when he gets older I hope he works on something other than a comb over.

Saturday afternoon I came home from helping our neighbor Woody put in new flooring to find Grady wearing this outfit. I was inspired to write up the numbers and take a picture.

Shhhhh They Are Sleeping!

Brooks and Grady fell asleep last night while I was reading.

What Should I Wear Today?

Hillary asked me not to write this because she works with the person(s) who gave us this outfit. Well, I don't work with them and I didn't make him wear this outfit. I also thought a munchkin had stopped by on his to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

I knew something was up when she called me upstairs to look at his outfit...

This is right after he saw himself in the mirror, I bet!

Our neighbors Emily and Caleb stopped by to visit later in the day. Here Emily is trying to stop Caleb from beating Grady up, I think.

Later on Caleb mistook Grady for a Lollypop! We welcome you to the lollypop guild, the lollypop guild...

Grady Visits the Kohl

Today Grady went to his first Badger basketball game at the Kohl Center in Madison.
He slept as I carried him in and woke up just in time for the National Anthem.

Prior to the opening tip...

Our good friend and neighbor Woody had the tickets and helped me with the diaper bag.

Grady giving the cheerleaders a thumbs up!

At halftime Grady sat with his mom and Jen Spredemann for the 2nd half.

In case you wanted to know how the Badgers did... Behind 23 points, five rebounds and two blocks from Marcus Landry, Wisconsin knocked off Penn State, 65-61, Saturday at the Kohl Center. The Badgers (11-3, 2-0) have now won nine consecutive games against the Nittany Lions (12-3) and now lead the all-time series 22-8 against PSU. -www.uwbadgers.com
