Grandma in the House

In a late evening rush to the airport, it dawned on me that for the first time since Parker had been born, that my mom was about to get him all to herself. It's a cool feeling to see your mom holding your son, and as tired as mom was, she had an immediate thought once we were in the car and leaving LAX, "I can't wait to get my hands on that baby."

Mom's flight got her in around 12:30am, delayed from Atlanta, and we were both exhausted when we finally saw each other. Mom had worked that day, and once you add in the 2 hour time change, she had been up for almost 24 hours straight. Regardless, she was excited and ready to see her grandson. Luckily, with no traffic at 1am in L.A., she didn't have to wait long.

Today was their first day together and it sounds like everything went well. Parker is getting big, I mean BIG, and he loves to eat. Mom experienced it first hand and they had a great day together, even taking a nap together in the afternoon.

Everyone is asleep right now, with the hours slowly whittling away as Parker grows and smiles and meets his family. Tonight, he rests easy. Tomorrow, Mommy and Little Man are off to the doctor for his 4 month check up. 

Stay tuned!
