One of the things we did this Christmas weekend was go see my mom's parents. They live in a nursing/assisted living home and don't get the chance to get out much, so we go to them. Cool thing: every time we go there, there is a new picture of Josie (8 X 10) that my mom prints off from this here blog... so it will be fun to see one or two of these pictures next time.
Right away, my grandpa asked if he could hold her. You have to understand: he hasn't wanted to at all since she was born because he was afraid that he would drop her. Baby intuition! She knew how important it was and was therefore perfect. PERFECT. She had just woken up so she just chilled in his lap for a while before playing with her pony (in his lap).
This grin right here, seeing him so happy, is the best. Even though he's gotten more fragile and limited in movement and energy, his soul, his being is the same and that is the smile I grew up with.
She would just stare at him when he made faces. Too funny.
Then we gave her the card she got from them. She was into it... into eating it.
The present from them was entertaining too, but not quite as much as Grandpa. She was only interested in it for about 5 minutes.
I didn't get any pictures of my grandma this time, but she was just as excited to watch Jo scoot around on the floor and -just-about- crawl. She's sooooo close.....
