We were very excited to have visitors over Labor Day weekend. Paul's family came to visit for the weekend, Ron, Doris, Andy, Cassie, Isaac, & Luke. We watched a lot of football, went on walks, played outside, and did some North Platte touring. It was so fun to have all 3 of the boys together and watch them play. We are excited to see how much busier they get over the next few months. Luke is really crawling all over the place now and as soon as Grady can, nothing will be safe!!

Daddy and Grady Love the Huskers!Grady is growing, growing, growing! He is getting such a fun personality now and we love playing with him every night! He is eating all kinds of baby foods right now and is such a good eater. He opens his mouth wide as soon as he sees the spoon and sits in his high chair. He is not yet crawling, but getting closer each day. He still doesn't like to try to pull his knees up to get on them to crawl, he just fusses when he realizes he can't get anywhere. He LOVES sitting up though and it is so much easier on mommy and daddy to have him sit.
Grady went to his first volleyball and football game this week. On Wednesday night Becky, Grady, and I went to Kearney for the UNK-UNO volleyball game because Becky's sister, Lizzy, plays for UNO. It was a packed house and an awesome game! It went 5 sets and UNO ended up losing 16-14 in the last set. It was a very loud and interesting game for Grady's first volleyball game and he did awesome! He sat and watched all of the people and wasn't scared of the loud sounds like I thought he might be, and let me tell you it was VERY loud! He just looked around at everything and took it all in.
Then, on Friday night he got to go to his first football game. Paul, Luke, Ashley, Grady and I went to the St. Pat's high school football game here in North Platte. This was not as exciting as the volleyball game and not near as loud, so Grady did end up getting a little bored and fussy towards the end of this game. Especially after he dropped his paci under the bleachers and didn't have that to comfort him anymore. He did great during the first half though and loved to be outside and look at everything. We'll definately have to go to more games as long as the weather is nice!
This next week, on Monday, we are meeting with the Early Childhood team for Gradyn's MDT (multi-disciplinary team) meeting. They decided that they want to keep him on their caseload so they can keep track of him to make sure he is meeting all of his developmental milestones without any problems, especially with his legs. His legs are not near as tight and toned as they used to be, which I think has a lot to do with the fact that he can sit up and stretch out his hamstrings so much. The plan right now is for the Physical Therapist to see him once or twice a month to check his progress. We will do this at our house and then she will give us pointers on stuff that we can help him with to keep him progressing in the right direction.
