The Joy Of A Grandchild
I can’t imagine life without this little man, who will turn one in a few weeks.
The world is a wondrous place for him. So many new things to learn. So many things to explore. Places to go. People to see.
Crawling, walking, stumbling, plopping, grinning, banging, clapping, waving, blowing kisses.
Then there’s his loyal sidekick, Gizmo, who sits mutely and watches it all. Snatching a baby cookie if he times things just right.
My daughter and I went to lunch. Had a good time. Ate Chinese, laughed. The most important part of all? We were together.
And all was right with the world.
Adorable!!! Time with the daughter is wonderful!
ahhhhhhh he is absolutely precious!!! how adorable! i understand your grandma heart! i am so happy he is yours!!! xoxoxo
I can barely stand how cute that grand baby of yours and Gizmo is. It makes me so happy that you live by them 🙂
xo,

There is nothing sweeter then spending time with our grandkids. Your grandson sure is a cutie!!

I feel the joy and the smile in your heart! My husband, the Rollie this acct. belongs to, says the only thing in life that is not over rated is a grandchild. They fill your heart. Gayle
And he's right.
He is beautiful. You certainly deserve all to be right in the world.
I hope so. I hope good karma has begun to come my way.
Ah, so happy for you!!! Words cannot describe how elated I am for you…all of you.
I know you are. I know you understand how much this means to me.
Grandchildren can be magical, being in their presence can be healing to our spirits. Enjoy every minute they grow up so fast!
He is helping to mend my spirit.
I am doing a happy dance. He's perfect.
He lights up the room with joy.
I could not be happier for you. I have prayed for this time. There is division in many families including mine. The mending of the problem for your family was so important. The love makes it all good. And a little baby even makes it all better. Hugs….for you.
I still don't see my other two grandchildren, who I miss terribly, or my 40 year old daughter. And that's tragic and right now I just wait. But I do have this daughter and her little family, and for that I am immensely grateful.
It warms my heart to see that you're spending time with your family. Life is good.
Oh, it warms my heart each time I see them.
So very happy for you…how much fun you are going to have watching him grow up! 😉
And I don't want to miss anything!
So adorable…what a blessing!
Blessings,
Cindy
He in indeed.
So very happy for you, and your dtr and grandson and grandpuppy. He is so cute!! Hope a lot more is in store for you. You deserve it.
It just feels so right. To be with him and my daughter. So glad they moved back!
He is adorable, and so is his companion!
They are quite the duo.
So beautiful! Am happy for you.
Thank you. I call him my little man.
He is a little sweetheart…grandchildren are such a blessing…and Gizmo is a little heart stealer, too. So glad you had such a nice day, Brenda!
Yes, Gizmo is so sweet I just want to kiss him too!
Awww what a handsome little guy ❤️. You'll have lots of fun watching him grow. I know what you mean. Within minutes after they're born you can't remember life without them.
I so look forward to watching him grow up!
Brenda Your grandson is absolutely adorable! What a lucky lady you are.
I am very lucky. And I know it.
HI Brenda! Oh, your little man is so cute! I love this age and the excitement each little movement brings. I'm so happy for you getting to be with your daughter and this little cutie! 🙂 Thank you for inviting me on FB to the over 40 bunch! 🙂 How in the world did you know I was over 40? 🙂 ha ha ha.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
I just took a cautious guess…
Such a handsome, sweet boy! I am soooo happy that he and your daughter are close by and that you get to spend time together!
He's handsome like his daddy, whose 36th birthday is today.
I am so happy for you Brenda….your grandson is such a cutie pie love that photo with him wearing the cap too cute…Gizmo is pretty darn cute too! Happy times and wonderful memories!
The whole lower half of their house has locks on everything because he's at that age when he's very, very curious.
I know just how you feel, Brenda. Those sweet little babes steal your heart!! It sounds like you had a wonderful visit with that little cutie. :o)
I enjoy my time with him, and then alone time with his mom.
Andrew is such a handsome little boy. I am so happy that you got to spend the day with him and your daughter. Gizmo is cute, too.
Gizmo never barks! I've never heard that dog bark.
It's a good thing Brenda..all of it..Andrew is precious..
Every single minute. Time is so precious.
What a handsome little boy. Very happy you were able to spend time with your daughter and him.
It's so wonderful to see how much joy all of you have for me. I thank you.
He is so cute. Beautiful eyes. And I love those little cotton outfits. I just want to hug him up and smell the baby smell.
He's such a sweet little boy. He sleeps well, eats well. They are lucky parents.
He is definitely all boy and an absolutely adorable one! The world iS a wonderous place for him and therein lies our hope for a better world.
I think the same thing when I look at him. He just looks all boy to me.
What a cute little guy! He's the same age as my friend's granddaughter, whom I visited and played with today. She'll be one next week as well. So glad that you are spending time with your daughter and precious grandson.
I wouldn't trade my time with them for anything.
Thanks for such a happy and uplifting blog post! Your precious little Andrew is a real doll face–so glad you got to spend time with him and your daughter. It will be so fun to watch him grow and learn to talk. I am very happy for you!
So far he can say dada.
I cried tears of joy as I read this…
Thank you, my friend. Thank you.
Your happiness is contagious! A handsome grandchild, a fun lunch with family, and a foot that may be healing….it must be spring! (I hope!)
Things are looking up.
pure sweetness. glad you got to spend some time with your daughter.
He is pure sweetness.
Brenda, your grandson is precious, know you enjoy time with him. I am so happy to hear you are spending time with daughter. I celebrated my birthday today, went out to lunch with all my family, these times are precious to me, enjoy getting to see everyone today. I can hear the joy in your comments about dau. and grandson, so happy for you. It is good to hear your ankle is better, hope you continue to improve. Can't wait to see what you are creating in kitchen.
Happy, happy birthday! Hope it was a wonderful day for you.
He is just precious. I am so happy for you, my friend. xo Laura
Thanks Laura. I know you know how I feel.
Sounds like a good fun time Brenda. So glad you got to do this. After this nasty winter, it probably a great break. Cute little fellow. Funny about the dog. 🙂 Blessings, xoxo,Susie
I just revel in watching him. No matter what he's doing.
I can see that he is brightening your heart and soul with beautiful memories, these grand babies are something else!
Jemma
They surely are. He lights up my life.
Nothing like a baby to brighten things up in the world! He's adorable! So is his sidekick!
Gizmo just follows him around. He's so good with him.
Awww, what a cute and happy boy!
So many things for him to explore. The whole wide world is awaiting him.
This is wonderful to hear, Brenda. So glad you were able to spend time with your daughter and that little Andrew is the cutest thing ever!
He is my little sweet pea.
OMG, he is adorable!!!!! What happy smile he has. One years old is a big event! It makes me happy to know you are back with your family where you belong, daughter and grandson! So happy for you!
Me too. Happy.
Oh my gosh, what a sweet face! You must be in your glory right now with that beautiful baby around! 🙂 Babies are wonderful!
I certainly am!
SO happy for you Brenda! What a cutie! There is no joy like this… The gift of life, children, family. Thank you for sharing! ~julie
His smile is infectious.
I was hoping for baby pics. Yay! 🙂 OMG he's so darn cute in these! 🙂
He's such a good little boy. Always smiling.
:))))))
Yeah…
Oh he is so precious. I am so happy you get to be with them.
Oh Marty, you and me both!
He is adorable! I can't believe he will be one soon! They grow so fast. I'm so happy you had time with your daughter and Grand. Life is good!
Linda
It is good, and you should be heralding in another soon!
He's a cutie!!! So glad you had a great day!! I hope your foot and ankle are doing well, too.
I've done so much this week that I was in the boot yesterday to give it a rest. Today need to rest too so I can get back to it.
That's such good news, Brenda! Look at that handsome young man and his sweet smile. Take good care of him, Gizmo!
He seems to look a bit like all of us. His grandparents on both sides, his mother and his father.
The pictures of your grandson are precious! So glad that you were able to spend time with your daughter and grandson!
We waited until he went down for his nap to go have lunch together. Girl time. He is such a happy baby!
I am so so so so happy you have them in your life, Brenda. Life is good-very, very good! xo Diana
Thank you. Life is rich with them in my life.
That's wonderful that you got to spend time together with your daughter, grandson and granddog! Of course, my heart melts for Gizmo since he is a Boston Terrier. I kind of embarrass myself whenever I run into another Boston around here. I feel such a kindred connection to that breed and just want to bring them all home with me. I want to have a Boston dog party! LOL!
This is her second Boston Terrier, both from rescue. She grew up in our home with them, and so did I. It's a family tradition!
I'm so happy for your happiness!
Amazing what being in the presence of a small child can do for the soul…
I am happy for you, for your daughter, for Andrew, and for Gizmo — so happy you all have each other.
I'm having a great time with that precious little boy.
What an absolute doll! Gizmo's pretty cute, too. 😉 You are one lucky lady!
Oh, I know that!
