Good news for Grady!

We went to see Grady's stomach specialist yesterday, and it was all good news!  First off, my little chunker weighed in at 20 pounds, 10.5 ounces!  He gained a pound in the last month!

The other piece of great news (which I already basically knew) was that he has outgrown his reflux, pretty much entirely.  The doctor will keep him on his mild medication until he is fully walking (which probably won't be long!), since that is usually when reflux in babies is 100% gone.  But he said that he should be fine to have regular milk at one year and that everything else looked great.  Of course, the doctor also told me how Grady looked like "a little Gerber Baby" and "could not possibly be any cuter".  Doesn't this guy know that I already paid for the visit?  

I also wanted to poste a few videos from the past couple weeks:

Messing with Eric while playing with his shape sorter.  He knows exactly how to do it, but he likes to build the suspense.

Playing in the pool - notice how he keeps dousing himself with water from the hose and then acting like it's all good:

And a really funny one of Grady patting Grandpa Schmidt's belly - what is he trying to say anyway?

One other REAAAALLLY cute thing Grady has been doing is giving hugs.  When we are sitting and playing with him, he will just randomly crawl over and throw his arms around our necks.  He also likes nuzzling his cheek up to mine, and if I do it he will giggle and smile huge.  He is such a lovey guy.
