Yes, I know it's been a while since I last posted anything. Of course, the last one was all important because it was about Elliotte's birth. Now that precious little thing is 6 weeks old (it's moved too fast!) and there's more of her to love! Sweet, fat little cheeks, ham hock thighs and cute dimples in her knees. She's looking around trying to figure out what all the fuss is going on around her. The other day I was leaning over her and talking to her when she smiled. Now, I was holding her and she did NOT pass gas at that moment so it was a REAL smile. I got so excited!! As I sat there staring at her, I realized she wasn't just smiling at me, she was laughing! There was this big obscure object in front of her face and all she could see was this mound of giggly flesh (i.e., my double chin), a big mouth and big nose. Couple that with a little "baby talk" and I would be rolling on the floor laughing my head off, too. She's not old enough to be rolling yet but I do think she was laughing at me thinking, "Who in the world is this person that keeps talking to me while this blob of giggly stuff moves back and forth?! I sure hope we're 
not related because I don't want to inherit that turkey waddle and big nose. Wow, I'm not sure I know what a turkey waddle is yet, but it's got to be bad!" We have this mental telepathy thing going so I know that's what she was thinking in that gorgeous little head of hers.I have been told by all the grandparents I know how wonderful it is to have a grandchild. And I whole heartedly agree........there's nothing like it in the world! You get to have this precious baby without the sleepless nights, crying fits, blowout poopy diapers, projectile spitup or having to lose the "baby" weight. We get her for a few hours here and there and may experience a few of these things but don't have to live with it every day. Except maybe for the "baby" weight which I'm still trying to lose. It's just been 29 years.....I set a goal of 30 years to lose it (the weight, not my mind). I only have a few more months before 30 years. I'm now thinking I may have to revise my goal and make it 35 years!
Elliotte and I seem to understand each other so I look forward to the times I spend with her. They are so precious and way too fast. And I'm enjoying my time with Beth. Beth and I now connect on a different level.......motherhood. It's a wonderful bond we now have. And I know all she has to look forward to with Elliotte in the coming years......all the good things with a little payback for the bad (i.e.,"Just wait til you have kids. I hope I live long enough to see your child put you through this!!")Until next time, have a blessed day (as my dad says). May God smile on you today and everyday.
