Miss Lily

I would like to introduce you to grandchild #8 - Miss Lily.  She was born in November, but this grandma has been very busy.

She is the tiniest thing and so sweet.

Happy Birthday

Dear Mr. K,

Happy Birthday Baby Boy.  I can't believe that you are a year old - the time has flown by.  Here are some things I think you need to know:

* You are adorable

* You are grandma's boy.  When I come home from school, you start calling for me.  You call me nana.

* You give the best hugs, snuggle bug

* You look just like your daddy

* You have 6 teeth

* You started walking and you can move fast

* You have a temper

* You rather eat what we are eating

* You are the perfect grandson

I love you to the moon and back.

Love,

Nana

Papa Love

Mr. K,

We weren't sure how you were going to react to Papa, especially since you cry every time a guy gets close to you.  You never cried with him, you just weren't sure about him.  You would "high five" and "clap" with him, but you weren't letting him hold you yet.  He was, only, going to be home for 4 weeks.

Yesterday, I came home to this.

The two of you were sitting on the couch, snuggled together.  It made me so happy.  So when Papa comes home for good, you guys will be best friends.

Love you,
Grandma

 

Beachy

Dear Mr. K,

We took you to the beach, for the first time, it was overcast and cold - but you loved it.  Daddy was holding you in the pack and you kept looking at the ocean, watching the waves.  If we turned you around, you would turn your head so you could watch the waves.  I am hope that you will be a surfer like grandpa and your daddy.  Next time we go, we want to put your feet in the sand.  I wonder how you will feel about that.

I love you,

Grandma

Almost

Dear Miss B and Miss R,

It is almost time for you to be here.  I went to the doctors today with your mommy and daddy.  I cried when I heard your little hearts beating.  Miss B, they say that you weigh about 5 lb. 7 oz and Miss R you are about 5 lb. 12 oz.  The doctor said that you girls are doing great, no problems.  He checked your mommy and said that she is getting ready to have you.  Miss B your head is down and you are ready to come.  The doctor thinks you will be born by the end of the week.  I hope so, so Grandpa can meet you before he has to go back to Hawaii.

I love you both and I can't wait to hold you and give you both kisses.

Love you,

Grandma

Miss E - Welcome

Miss E,

I am so excited for your mommy, we found out yesterday that you are a girl (we would have been excited either way).  Your mommy is amazing, she loves you so much.  She said that you were moving all over the place.  She said that you are doing great, everything is where it is suppose to be.  Your due date is July 17, I can't wait to meet you.

I wish you lived closer to me, so I can spoil you more.  I started knitting you a blanket this week, I hope you like it.  It will keep you warm in Colorado.  I love you so much and I can't wait for you to meet your cousins.  You and one of the twins will have the same middle name.  Your sister picked out your middle name, I'm not sure where you first name came from.  I need to ask your mommy.

Love you,

Auntie T

I'm Waiting

Dear Miss B and Miss R,

I am patiently waiting for you to be born.  Technically, mommy isn't due for 2 months - but the doctor will take you early.  Mommy went to the doctor on Monday and you both are doing great.  The doctor said that you should be weighing 3 pounds each to be at target weight.  But my darling babies, you are bigger than normal.  Miss B you weigh about 3 lbs. 8 oz. and Miss R you weigh about 4 lbs.  Both of you are amazing.  Mommy is taking such good care of you.

Look how cute your mommy is, she is really tiny.   I ordered some very pretty yarn today, so I can make both of you sweaters.  Miss B your color is green and Miss R your color is pink.  I know that you will be as beautiful as your mommy and sister.  Miss R you are as active as your daddy - moving all over the place in mommy.

I can't wait to meet both of you.

Love,

Grandma
