Grady is 4!

Oh my.  How can he already be 4 years old???

Oh Gradyn Joseph.  Such a crazy, huge personality you have!  You are most definately our 'strong willed child'.  We spend so much time, energy, and thought on you. The doctor told us that 4 years  can be very 'pre-adolescent', we thought 3 was pretty 'pre-adolescent' already!  haha!  You are so much work, but we wouldn't have it any other way because that makes you who you are.  :) 

A few of your 4 year old stats:
Height:  40.25 in. - 50%tile
Weight:  35.4 lbs - 45%tile
Blood Pressure:  86/40
Pulse:  92

Loves:  preschool, movies (especially toy story and despicable me), tv (especially bubble guppies, anything on nick jr., anything on sprout), applesauce, hamburgers, peanut butter and jelly, mac & cheese, books, games, puzzles, transformers, isaac & luke, going to gma and gpas to the farm, talking, yelling, never stopping talking, playing with brynlee, taking things away from brynlee, pushing/hitting/squeezing brynlee, cuddling with mommy, going to husker games, dinosaurs, airplanes, trains, runza, arbys!!, cereal for a snack.

Doesn't Love:  going to bed (still...since you were 1....typically bedtime is still around 10), getting up in the mornings on daycare/preschool days (gets up just fine by 6:30 on stay home days...), getting dressed  in the morning (screaming/kicking match every day), going potty in the morning, if brynlee gets to push the button on mommy's blender, eating any type of fruit except applesauce, the dark, getting dressed by yourself...ever. 

We are so blessed to have you in our lives and are so looking forward to watching you grow!  We love our sweet and loving you are to Bryns.  You love to be the 'teacher' and explain to her how everything works.  She hangs on every word you say and follows everything you do or tell her to do.  We are also looking forward to watch your relationship grow and get close to each other! 

We celebrated your birthday on your actual birthday (Jan 27) by going to eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Omaha with Gma and Gpa Guenther, Joey, Cassie, & Ashley.  You and Daddy came to pick Brynlee and I up from the airport because we had been in California at a wedding!  You got a chocolate ice cream dessert, but of course you didn't eat it because it had sprinkles on it.  Then the next night we went to eat at Red Robin with Shari.  You really really wanted them to sing to you, but then were super shy when they came.  You got another ice cream sundae that you didn't eat.  :) 
Your party is going to be on Sat, Feb 2 with a train theme. 

God Bless you Lovey!
