O Baby

Miss You

As I have said in the last few posts, Grammy is falling down on the job. Just because I haven't been writing doesn't mean that I love you any less. I guess it just means that you have been keeping me so busy:) Nooo. I know that is just an excuse. I know, I just have to do it. I keep saying that I am going to go back & fill in some of those days. I will get to it. You are gone right now:( You are spending some time with Aunt Cathy. I hooked the web cam up tonight & talked wih you some. Cathy told me that yesterday you told her that you were ready to go to Grammy's house now but I didn't believe her. I know how you love it at Aunt Cathy's. You did my heart good tonight. You told me that you were coming to my house tomorrow! I guess Cathy was telling the truth:) I watched you play in your treasure box. You are so cute. You can look in the box 50 times but you still look with amazement at each item.
I think we may have to start calling you O Boy. You really aren't a baby anymore, although, you will always be my baby. You tell us you are a baby. I don't know what that is about. We keep telling you that big boys go to the potty. You are determined that you aren't going to the potty. Maybe that is the reason you say you are a baby. Sometimes when you are almost finished eating something you will ask to be fed. I know I shouldn't but I like to feed you. You are growing so fast & I want to keep my baby.
I do love all the things that you can do now though. Aunt Cathy says that you are swimming with your face in the water. Sometimes you don't even wear your swimmies! You do love the water. You love going to Aunt Cathy's house because you get to swim all the time. Maybe next year you will like swimming here more. This year you are still afraid of all the things in the water here. You like looking at the fish & crabs but you don't want to swim with them:)
I miss you baby.
All my love,
Grandmommy

Day at Grammy's

Well, you finally got to come play with Grammy today. Since we have all been sick we haven't gotten to see each other. When I got there today you got so excited! You yelled, Grammy & jumped up in the air. You kept hugging me. You said, "miss you". O Baby I miss you so much & I love you even more. Your Mommy didn't feel good again today so you got to come home with me! We took a walk which you loved. You weren't real happy when we returned home because you thought we were going to the park. Maybe we can do that next time. You were happy though when we came inside & rolled around on the bed. This picture is while we were tickling each other. I can still hear your giggles. We sat out back for a while. You love it out there. You picked berries off the trees. You probably walked about 3 miles while you were practicing walking on the stepping stones. You really liked it when we went down to the water.
We watched the ducks. You loved it when the one little duck started swimming toward us & he went under the water looking for a fish. You thought that was really neat. You said you could see the crab but I'm not really sure you did. We had a good time & you cried when you had to leave. It breaks Grammy's heart when you don't want to leave me. I don't want you to go either:(
All my love,
Grammy

Heart Throb

Well, little man you are going to break some hearts! Tonight Pop Paw & I took you to our favorite restaurant Coach N Four. As usual, we had a great dinner. The waitress brought the receipt for our check then told us thanks & bye. You looked at her & said, "Bye, I lub you". She just said ohhhhhhhhhh!
I lub you too,
Grammy

New Favorite Sentence

You have a new favorite sentence. You rub your belly & say I lub it. You lub a lot of things now. Today you came up the hall with the dog's water dish. You were licking your lips. You rubbed your belly & said, "Um water, I lub it." You are such a funny boy!
All my love,
Grammy

Puttin on Makeup

Today you were intently watching The Wiggles so I stepped into the garage to pick up something. I was gone 10 seconds tops. You were in the den when I returned! I called out asking where you were. You answered from the bathroom. You said "I puttin on makeup." I yelled back, "You better not be in my makeup!" You walked out holding the Desitin tube & half of your face was smeared white! I couldn't help but laugh. Actually, I laughed pretty hard.
All my love,
Grammy

Lub You

You always cause my heart to overflow with love but this morning you out did yourself. You spent the night with me. You awakened in the night & you didn't want to come to my bed. You insisted that we lay down on the couch. I really wasn't happy about this, but I did it anyway. When you woke up you looked at me & got a huge smile on your face. Then, you said, "Grammyyyyy! I lub you. Kiss." I wanted to squeeze you to pieces! It made sleeping on an uncomfortable couch well worth it. I walked on cloud nine all day long.
Ocean, I lub you,
Grammy

No Scissors!

You are spending the night with me tonight because your Mommy has to work late.
Remind me to tell you about the spaghetti story in the bathroom. Aunt Cathy said I shouldn't post it & Uncle Tom went so far as to say I should never repeat it again. I think you are cute.
We had a great time in the bath. You are very bad about putting things in your nose! You have bath crayons. As you were getting out you started saying help, help. I looked & you had blue crayon around your nose. Then you were saying, get it, get it. I looked & sure enough you had put a little piece of it up your nose. I tried to get it out but couldn't. I finally laid you on my lap & very carefully tried to get it with tweezers. You didn't like that one little bit! You told me NO scissors! They just kind of smushed it anyway. I guess you will live:)
I laid you in my bed to go to sleep. I read you a story. Like always you said 'nother story. You weren't happy when I told you that was all, but you accepted it. We were lying there with you wiggling around. Finally, you said "hold you". What you really meant was you wanted me to hold you:) You are so sweet!When you say things like that my heart just melts.
All my love,
Grammy

This Face

It's been a long time O Baby! Even though I haven't written I have continued to pay for this site so one day you will know that at least for a time I kept up with the writing. I can't believe how you have grown & developed. You contiually amaze me. You keep me & everyone else in stitches. Except for Aunt Cathy's Chris, I have never known a child to talk as well as you do at such a young age.
You are spending the night with me tonight. I was trying to put you into your jammies. You didn't want to put the shirt on. (You really are a nature boy at heart:) You ran from me. That seems to be a bad habit that we haven't figured out how to stop yet. I went for you & told you you were making bad decisions. I said you had to go to bed to think about it and to think about making better decisions. You stayed there about 30 seconds. Then you called to me & said "good sicions" I said okay lets put your jammies on. You promptly took off up the hall again. I went after you once again. As soon as you saw me you said "this face, this face"! Of course this all came from your Aunt Cathy. You just spent some time with her & she came up with having you think about making better "sicions". When you do something she doesn't like she puts on a mad face & says, "Look at this face. Is this a happy face?" Which brings me back to tonight. You knew that I wasn't happy when you ran from me again. So, before I could say, look at this face, you said it to me! Sometimes I have to pretend to be mad at you when I really just want to laugh. I love you so much!
All my love,
Grammy
PS You had been eating chocolate ice cream & also sticking markers up you nose just before this pic was taken. I love "This Face"

Sandy Kisses

Hey Baby!
Grammy picked you up from day care today. You were so dirty! You were outside playing in the sand. They called your name and you came just like a big boy:) I called to you. You looked at me like what are you doing here (I have never picked you up there). Then your face broke into a big grin and you ran to me. You hugged and kissed me. It was the best sandy kiss I have ever had! When I took you out you were waving and yelling hey like there was a big crowd there waiting for you. Your Mommy said you had been doing that lately. You were so thirsty and hungry. You drank a juice box down right away. I thought you were asking for crackers but you wanted bread. Then you said something that sounded like peanut butter so I put some jelly on the bread. Boy, you were mad at me! You wanted just the plain bread. You ate two pieces!!. Your Mommy and I took you to Sonny's for dinner. Since you had gotten full on bread you didn't eat a lot but you did spend a lot of time giving us kisses:) You gave us regular kisses, butterfly kisses, and eskimo kisses. I loved them all. You would also put you head down for us to kiss your forehead. You are such a sweet child. I love you so much.
I really do have so much that I have to sit down and tell you. Things that you have done since I started being such a lazy lima bean and didn't write you. I apologize. I especially apologize for all of the things that I won't remember to write. The good thing is you will still love me anyway. Thank you.
I do wish you would get over being mad at me. I told your Mommy today that you are still mad at me or you don't love me anymore. I certainly hope you are only mad.
All my love,
Grandmommy

Waiting

I guess it serves me right. I come home and then you leave. Your Pop Dad had his shoulde operated on on Tuesday. You and your Mommy flew out to see him for a couple of days. I felt sorry for her when I spoke to her yesterday. There was problems with the flight. You were stuck in Atlanta for a few hours. That wasn't fun because she said that people were nice & were not helpful at all. You were being difficult, in other words you were being a normal baby. I don't believe you are feeling well though. You have a runny nose and you keep pulling at your ears. I know you want pictures but I will have to get them up a little later. Aren't you glad that I am at least writing a few words! I should see you tomorrow, I can't wait.
All my love,
Grandmommy
