Every week that goes by, Grady changes so much.  One week he can't do something, the next week he can.  The speed with which that's happening seems to increase every week.  I can't keep up with him! 

Some of the things that have happened this week.

He got in some new teeth, as he is modeling here -

(That white stuff on his top far right is bagel, not tooth.) His four top middle teeth basically all came in at once, and he finally got the 4th on the bottom to make a set.  His two favorite things to do with these new teeth?

Eat bagels!  We had brunch with our friends Jay and Joanna last weekend, and he ate an entire half a bagel!  Here he is today repeating the feat.

Er, not quite Grady

Wassup, I eat bagels for breakfast!

Unfortunately, his other favorite thing to do is grind his teeth.  The noise is AWFUL but I've been told they don't do it for long.  Here's hoping. 

Grady also learned how to get to a sitting position from his tummy.  He basically does a split and then emerges - it's pretty amazing to watch.  I'll have to get a video.  You can kind of see here, although in this one he is using the stair for leverage. 



What I was actually trying to capture in that video was how he can pull himself up on the steps.  He ALMOST made it to the second step earlier by basically climbing on the first step so that he was lying flat on it, and then reaching up again.  He didn't feel like doing that again in that video, obviously, preferring to scream DADADA at the top of his lungs before lunging after the cats.  He certainly has his own ideas! 

He's been climbing up on everything still, and is now also trying to climb OVER things, sometimes to comic effect.  This video is sort of long, but I continue to find it amusing.

Grady is also now dancing to anything.  There's a great video from daycare I've asked them to send of him dancing to In the Jungle.  But he's not picky.  Here he is dancing to the Angry Birds theme song - an iPhone game.

The other big thing Grady did this week was sit in the supermarket cart for the first time!  Here he is, looking quite pleased with himself.

Of course, in my opinion, he also continues to get cuter every day.  Here's some evidence.

I think those are the highlights of the week for Grady.  We have his follow-up urology appointment in a few hours.  If anything changes from what I said last week, I'll let you know.
