grandma

Christy's mom came to stay with us and help take care of Alexi. This was quite the marriage saving god-send. Alexi's grandma stayed for 3 weeks and at every moment she was there to help. I highly recommend getting yourself a grandma and it should be put somewhere in bold, red letters in all the adoption manuals that should be included with all the placement kids. I tell you, there's many a time that I wish I could refer to the instructions manual. It would be a big help.

Grandma was everywhere. she almost always was First Responder at the scene. At any of Alexi's cries, her hands were there to comfort. In fact, Grandma was so efficient, Christy and I were starting to feel inadequate, and quite possibly, ......down right useless with her around. She would be there to towel him off after a bath. Or be there to hold and comfort him .....and that is no simple task.

Note the size of that belly.

And the level of vein-popping exertion in G'maw forearm.

Yes, grandma is tiny, but combined with big boy (he is only 8 months old here), we have a hard to believe proportionality. To hold Alex and jiggle him around the room, well it's nearly as much work out as an hour at the gym.

If you cant tell from the picture already, this boy likes to eat. We are certain that this man will have no food peccadillo's. He'll be free of food snobbery. Eating whatever finds his fancy, or come within sight and reach of his mouth.

I have asked wiffy, "Can a baby be too fat." I know a healthy baby is supposed to look "healthy" but this boy is really looking very "HEALTHY." When bottle is loaded in his tank, his paunch swells to give him the stately look of a miniature Buddha.
Here is the Lama himself in his saintly garb dispensing his sage advice telling us to "goo goo" and a "ga ga."

When I can figure out what that means, I will let you know.
