The time finally came...we had to say goodbye to Grandma and Papa today. We got used to having Grandma around, even my mom is going through Mama Shinsel withdrawals! Before they left, they took Lincoln on some adventures.
On Friday, they traveled up the mountains to Tweetsie Railroad.
The next day, they went to the local airport museum. Lincoln was so excited to show Papa the shark airplane.
They wouldn't have had to go anywhere, Lincoln was having a blast just being on Papa's "Bus." He would go out there and watch movies, play with his cars, and eat snacks. When he got hungry, he would say, "I'm hungry for Papa's bus." That means the food is yummier than what is in my mom's house!
Today Dave gave Drake a blessing in church. It was a very sweet blessing, and I'm glad his dad and my dad were able to be a part of it by being in the circle. We don't baptize babies in our church: worthy priesthood holders give them a blessing of health, knowledge, whatever the spirit prompts them to say.
Speaking of Drake, he had his first bath last week, and he HATED it.
I don't ever know what to expect from him at night. Sometimes he can be up for 2 hours at a time. What I do know is that he sleeps better in bed with me. I prop him up on his boppy pillow, so he can see me. It is amazing that I couldn't even sleep in the same room with Lincoln, but I can sleep through all of Drake's baby squeaks and grunts.
His cheeks are starting to fill out more. He will look so different the next time we get to see Grandma and Papa again!
I love this! I had to click on each picture and look at them bigger at least twice! The one of everyone on the day of the blessing is SO good and they all look so happy! I think Drake looks so much like you and he is perfect! I'm sorry he hated his bath. Hopefully he'll like them more as he gets a little bigger. Mya has always (and still does) sleep better when she's with me and lately I've adopted the policy of doing whatever it takes to get sleep, so I hear ya!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Drake on the boppy asleep and the one of the boys with their grandparents after the blessing.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you guys!
