Day Three Hundred Twenty Eight 2012

The turkey and dressing are but a sweet memory.

Grandson Knox says, “Happy TGIF, everybody!”

Day Three Hundred Twenty Two 2012

KNOX AND CROCKS





Grandson Knox and his mommy Kelly are here to visit for Thanksgiving week. Turned loose at Granny’s house, he loves to roam and is tempted to examine/play with/have anything that is not one of his toys. Such as Granny’s crocks (and Grandpa’s movie theater popcorn bucket). How much fun is that? Tons and tons, from the looks of it.

Day Two Hundred Twenty One 2012

Grandson Knox and his mommy and daddy are visiting. They brought a basket load of toys for him, but in true kid fashion, he gets a bigger kick out of playing with this bag of baby wipes. It makes these way cool crackling noises when he holds it. More fun than pint-sized humans should be allowed to have.

Day One Hundred Eighty Eight 2012

Splish Splash! Grandson Knox enjoyed some pool time this afternoon in the hundred degree heat. He had the best time kicking and splashing and trying to slide over the side of the pool. Too bad there wasn’t room for the rest of us.
Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Seventy Eight 2012

Sweet Peeps! Daughter Kelly and Grandson Knox sharing some giggle time on the back porch this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Day Seventy 2012

Grandson Knox is 3 months old and loves to play in his crib. He watches his mobile and listens to the tunes it plays and talks and coos. He's got a ton of energy. His little arms and legs are in constant motion; he's a blur in these pictures. His grandpa and I get the biggest kick out of watching him. I was a distraction to him with my camera in his face. I told him, "Get used to it, kid."  

Day Forty Nine 2012

Neil and I had a great time visiting grandson Knox and his mom and dad today. He's growing up fast! Loves his musical mobile and laughs and "talks" and coos. All the little sounds and faces he makes are so precious! Those tiny legs and arms are always on the move. He's so lovable I could squeeze the stuffing out of him. Already looking forward to the next time we can visit. Miss you guys!

Day Eight 2012

Neil and I visited five week old grand peep Knox, daughter Kelly and son in law Kerry Sunday afternoon--an impromptu day trip. We went to 'Toots' for supper when Kerry got off work. Somehow, Knox managed to fall asleep in the middle of this crazy-loud restaurant full of football fans watching Tebow pull off yet another one. He even slept through all the servers who clapped and sang a birthday song to somebody at the table right next to his car seat. Unbelievable.

Back at the house, he eventually woke up and became so upset that he was inconsolable. We thought giving him a bath would soothe him, and it did. For a while. His mommy finally swaddled him (as his daddy Kerry says, there is power in the swaddle! And for those of you who are not familiar with this, it is wrapping a baby snugly in a large cloth so he can't move his arms and legs). Not too long after that, he suddenly stopped crying and fell asleep. Almost like a switch being turned off. I do hope the three of you got some sleep/rest! Love you guys. Hope to see you again soon!

Day Three Hundred Thirty Six 2011

Hello, Knox! Welcome to the world! He arrived at 4:08 A.M., and weighted 7 pounds and 15 ounces. He has lots of dark hair and the cutest dimples. In the first pictures, he’s wearing a Santa hat one of the OB nurses knitted. Mom and Dad and grandparents are thrilled to have this little guy in our lives. He’s cute as a bug and looks a lot like his mom when she was born. Mom and child are doing well. What a blessing!
