Having a baby in the house again is a revelation.
The last time I was around a newborn extensively was twenty-seven years ago when T was born.
E, L, B and I are all learning to read ABC’s signs.
It seems that every cry, squeak, whimper, wiggle, look, stretch and facial expression is trying to tell us something, if only we could discern its meaning correctly.
So far, ABC is doing well, despite her petite size. She had a bit of jaundice, but we were able to do light therapy at home. Her bilirubin count went down so well that we were able to return the unit yesterday.
It is a joy watching our daughter and son-in-law be such wonderful parents in these early days. It is a privilege to be a first-time grandparent with the baby living in our home for her first few months.
And it warms all of our hearts to see Nana and Paco with the baby, their first great-grandchild. We wish that B’s parents were still alive to meet her, too.

Thank you, JoAnna. It is poignant as Grandma used to tell us about her friends’ great-grandchildren all the time. She would have loved to be here to snuggle the baby. I am so grateful that my parents are here to enjoy her.

How much fun. One of my favorite things my 3 yr old grandson does is to narrate his life: “If I make this sound, it means x.” I much appreciate the tips!

Precious! By the time our granddaughter can speak, she is likely to be on the other side of the Atlantic. She will have to keep us posted via webcam…
