Another party and walking like a champ!

Little Grady has been very busy and in a great mood the past week or so!  I think that he is just so proud and excited about walking.  He seems to improve every day.  Each day he takes more steps.  And now he can go to standing and walking from a squatting position (rather than pulling up and then walking).  He can also bend down, pick things up, and keep walking.  Of course, because he is Grady, he is already trying to run.  He's actually doing OK with it, but falling a lot too!

It seems like every day he does something else new too.  He is giving "high fives" very well now.  And he just started doing "SO BIG!" on his own.  I don't know where he got it from, but he will hold his arms up like that if I say "So Big!"  He is also really interested in shape sorting in the past few days, and starting to be able to do some of the simpler shapes.

There is also news as far as his health goes.  As of today we are discontinuing his stomach meds!  The doctor said to do so once he was walking and to just go cold turkey.  So that is the plan.  We are also switching to toddler formula for a month.  If that goes OK, we will go to regular milk.

Another fun thing Grady has been doing is helping out with brushing his teeth!  Here are some pictures of that:

Here he is walking - and he's already better than this!
