*raspy little man again, seems to be very susceptible to colds/wheezing so we now own our own nebulizer!

*occasionally with give a "ma ma" but never with prompting, only when he feels like it
*starting to wave occasionally
*a huge mama's boy. doesn't like anyone else to hold him if I'm in the room.

Nooooo.....

I can't believe this is happening!!

Cuttin it up

Grady got hair cut #3 this week! This time, I took it a little more seriously and didn't just do one of those little baby trims. I still left a lot of his black, curly locks but cut off the bozo look.

And I apparently also left some carrots on his nose.

Six months

I can not BELIEVE my baby is six months old. It seems to go faster with each one!

Let's look at Gradster's happenings this month:
*ROLLING everywhere, all over the floor and starting to scoot backwards!
*sitting up unsupported for short periods of time before he topples over and starts rolling.
*getting to visit his cousins Lincoln, Fletcher, Zane and Annabeth
*got his second hair cut
(yes, the above picture is AFTER another haircut!)
*no teeth yet, but lots of hand chewing
*eating solids twice a day now

*will drink from a bottle like a champ but has a STRONG dislike of formula

*RSV. Grady had been fighting a cold for a couple of weeks and started wheezing last Friday. Unfortunately, I had been up for several hours during the night fighting a bit of a stomach bug so I was still not feeling great. Thankfully, Gabe was home so he took Grady to the doc on Friday afternoon. They gave him a breathing treatment in the office and also sent us home with the machine to do treatments every 4-6 hours. So, we continued that through the weekend. Sunday night he was really wheezing, even after the breathing treatment so I took him to Prompt Care. They did a chest xray and tested for RSV and Influenza. The RSV came back positive as well as some ear redness. His xray also showed a few spots of early infection so we got sent home with some meds and followed up with our pediatrician on Monday. We had to put off his 6 month check up until he gets well.

**Stats Update** Grady weighed in at 22lbs and is 28inches long. 99% and 96%.
