I just love this child!

People used to tell me how much I was going to love grandkids when they came around.I believed them, but it's one of those things you don't understand until it happens to you.  Now I get it!  I so enjoy spending time with Alaina and we all say we go into withdrawal if too much time goes by without seeing her.
We had her overnight again and that means you have to put up with more pictures from Grandma.  :-)


She's discovered climbing and our rocking chair.  She loves to rock and is pretty proud of herself as you can see by that grin.



She has an ongoing love affair with Oliver and he still tolerates her quite well.  She loves to pet and kiss him.   When she spots him, we hear "hi kiii".



Bob took this picture when we were all napping.  Alaina was settling down, when Oliver jumped up.  She had to put her hand out of the blanket so she could be touching him, then she fell asleep.  Bob put this on his facebook page with the title "Happiness is a warm, cuddly Grandma....   and a fuzzy kitty!"

  3. That last one is beyond precious! It's really great that Bob thought to take it---Mike doesn't do much with a camera. This one of you three is priceless.

  16. That is just the best picture! I can't get Sammy to fall asleep in my arms anymore. He puts his head on a pillow on the sofa or floor and just falls asleep! My kids were never that easy.
