JohnF Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 What a great gift. Our first grandchild, a healthy beautiful boy, arrived yesterday at 3 pm. Everybody's doing great. Dunno who he looks like. Don't think there's anyone in the family with a face like a big red whithered apple and no teeth. I was holding him last night and he made an awful variety of faces at me like he was trying to poop on me but I didn't mind. He's not very smart yet. He kept trying to get his hand to his mouth but he was all wrapped up like a "burrito" as my son described the wrapping job when the nurse showed him how. I snuck one of his little hands out in the open but he just kept trying to munch on the burritoed one. Holding him is like holding a little furnace. He'd be a handy little guy in an ice hut. I have a pic of me holding him here somewhere. Maybe I'll post it later. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 And the BEST part of grandchildren is they go home after vistiting.... I was afraid my wife was going to try to steal him at the hospital last night. She's floating on air right now. I don't think sending him home will be the problem for a while. It will be more about her letting him go home. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
