It is hard to believe it has been a year since my youngest grandchild arrived. Here is my first photo of the new batch of cousins.

The toy selection process requires 1) crawl into the toy box, 2) pick the toy you want and 3) come out of the toy box head first and try to turn a somersault.

First black eye.

But she is okay!

Still cute.

Having lunch with daughter and granddaughter. Got to love the hair!

I'm ready to get this over with.

Daddy making sure I am calm.

Everybody dressed and ready for the baptism service. The dress was made out of mom's wedding dress.

She is really at the stage where Grandpa can have fun.

One of the best things in life is setting by the window and chewing the hell out of whatever is handy!

Looking in the yard.

Yes, my angel.

Good food and all over the place.

See how well I climb stairs Grandpa?

Made it to the top, now what?

Little hands always need big hands close by.

It is always important to have someone (something) on watch while I sleep.

Second generation to make use of the cradle. Her mother slept in this.

It is just amazing to watch her sleep.

Reviewing photos of my new granddaughter I noticed how my daughter was continually supporting her newborn. A parent support continues for life.

Between her mom and grandpa this little will think she grew up in a photo studio.

Reflections, keeps her busy in her little space.

mommy is holding me up for grandpa.

Just some of the many faces I caught trying to get one of a nice smile. Didn't get it done so I'll have to go back and take more.

Mother's love.

A little different processing of a previous photo posted.

Her first Halloween, Peas in a Pod.

She is deciding if she was more milk or to sleep.

Photo reminds me of a mug shot, hope this is the only she gets in her life. While grandpa never had a mug shot taken, I can say it was close a few times.

Night night.

Snug as a bug in a run.

finally captured a photo of when she was smiling.

Four months old and already she is starting to fend for herself.

She has now experienced her first Christmas.

Finally a smile.

Her first birthday party for her cousin.

So much fun!

Just no better reason for you to get crazy than a grandchild.

Give me give me give me!

Keeping an eye on grandpa so he doesn't steal the bottle.

Think they will be best friends.

Have to get on the floor to have fun with the little ones.

She'll be standing on her own soon.

Mother daughter bonding.

Time to eat.

Got my hat, got my glasses, ready to go fishing.

Please help me I am falling!

It won't be long now and mom won't be able to find me.

Having dinner with grandpa and he gave me a straw, mom took the wrapper off.

I'm good.

Must come down ...

What goes up ....

Oh so tired.

Nothing like a good meal.

Been fed, now sleeping and grandpa shows up with his camera. Hard to sleep thru the flashes and clicking but I'm giving it my best shot!

Hello world!

A new arrival!

Just a little tired after all the work of the previous 24 hours.

Maybe just a little peek at this new world I am in.

Think I will just snuggle up to mom for awhile and dream.

A whole new family starting out, so much joy to come.
