There’s not much to this post. Just some sweet pictures of my new grandbaby.
Don't know if she's a daddy's girl but he's sure a girl's daddy!
Well okay. If you insist…
It’s hard to get a new grandbaby, you know. Well, I mean besides all of the having to wait until your kids finally decide to cooperate in the process. Of course, that hasn’t been a problem for me but I know sometimes waiting on the kids to decide to have your grandchildren is a pain. What’s up with that anyway? Don’t they know you’re ready?!?!?
What I meant by it’s hard to get a new grandbaby is it’s hard to connect with a new grandbaby at first. My two girls are the lights of my life. And then five…almost six years ago…along came Miss Mikayla and she’s been the third light of my world since then. I love her just like I do my daughters…and that really surprised me.
Now I have a new grandbaby and she has entered the orbit.
But, to be honest, well, she pretty much just sleeps and eats and cries…you know how it is with new babies. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been a mom and I’ve been through the “how can I possibly love another baby as much as I love my first one?” process before. So I feel it starting…every time I see her, hold her, watch her, she fills up my heart with joy.
But I very much look forward to the day when she looks at me…and smiles…and her being a sun in my world is a process we then share between the two of us.
Loving someone is a wonderful thing. But that moment when you know that that other person loves you back is a little piece of heaven.
(I’m sorry, but this is an adorable baby!!)
Precious, adorable, sweet, wonderful … looks like from these photos that she’s ALL of those things! I’m so jealous of you!
Aw…thanks! She is all those things. Went over to give Kelly some clean-up time and got to take Leilah to pick up her big sis from school. That’s four days in a row I’ve seen Leilah. You can tell Daddy has gone back to work! LOL. I KNEW I just had to wait it out and I’d be able to get my hands on her on a regular basis.
I do sympathize with you and all the other grammas who don’t see their babies very often. That’s so hard. I always thought when the girls were gone, I’d think about living near a lake or the ocean…then Kayla came along and the girls stayed or moved back to town and that nixed those plans. I like it here too so it works. : )
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW YOU TALK ABOUT BEING A GRAMMA!!! AND HEARING HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THOSE BABIES!!!
