We’ve had a lot of visitors in the last month, so here’s a little walk down memory lane for the books. First we had your Aunt Steph and Uncle Robbie for a few days. It’s the first time you’re Aunt Steph has met you in person, but not for lack of wanting. She’s been counting the minutes since you were born. Since your birth, your Auntie Steph has given you some of your (and Momma’s) favorite things, including the binkies you still use to this day (ASIDE: I recently tried to upgrade your binkies to the 6month+ variety and discovered that you gag on them so we’ll stick with the little ones for a while longer), your floor gym (which has been an incredible, incredible life-saver and has grown with you since you were about a month old), your swing (which saved my life when you were a newborn, and the diaper genie, just to name a few.
We mostly hung out around the house and spent time letting you get to know them. You took to Aunt Steph right away. I think you can tell how much she loves you. And by the end of the weekend, you even gave Uncle Robbie a couple little smiles.
Just about a week later, your Granny and Grandpa drove all the way from Oroville, WA to pay you a visit. You’ve changed so much since we visited them 2 months ago, they hardly recognized you.
Daddy and Grandpa spent most of the week building you a safe banister for the upstairs. They worked their butts off, but the finished product is beautiful and, more importantly, SAFE. Your Granny watched you, played with you and loved you whenever I needed to help Daddy and Grandpa, and we all took plenty of breaks to join in the Dela Lovin’.
Everyone took turns feeding you food, one of our favorite pastimes. Here’s your Grandpa doing a great job with some prunes. I think we managed to get a significant portion down your throat, though you can’t tell it from your face. Look how much fun you’re having.
You love your Grandpa. You smile at him instantaneously every time he smiles at you or makes funny little clicking noises with his mouth. He adores you. Just like your Granny does. We’re all bummed they live so far away, but are also very grateful that they’re willing to drive all the way down here to spend time with us.
Mima stopped by and ate some chinese take-out with us one night. Yes, your cowgirl hat is my new favorite accessory for you. I’m taking advantage of your current willingness to leave things on your head. Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be outgrowing that soon.
You are one blessed little girl to have two Grandmas who adore you as much as yours do.
Next week Tia Kristy is Visiting! Woohoo! More on that later. Love ya
