Super Grammy to the Rescue

While Andrea (Ashton’s nanny) was on vacation, Grammy traveled to Cleveland for a few days to help us take care of the little man while Jeff and I were working.  Grammy reported that Ashton was ‘an absolute angel’.  Now, this coming from a woman who thinks Ashton bears a striking resemblance to the Gerber baby (as does Grandma Nat, btw – gotta love grandparents!) should be taken with a grain of salt of course, but we were pleased to hear that he was on his best behavior for her.  They had lots of fun exploring the area, taking walks to the lake and even venturing out to mark Ashton's first trip to the Cleveland Zoo. 

During the visit, we also celebrated Ashton’s half birthday, complete with a few small gifts and ice cream cake.  I recognize that this may border on spoiling but given Ashton's Xmas birthday, it only seems right that he receive some extra bday love.  And yes, we'll promised to do the same for any future children also (at least for the first year)... :)

Thanks again, Grammy, for helping us out and taking such good care of the little man.  He misses you already!

Ashton loves bath time, especially with Grammy!

Yay!  Grammy's here!


Ashton tried carrots for the first time - he wasn't a fan!  Fortunately, Grammy was there to suggest we try a sweeter fruit first (ie. bananas, peaches, etc).  Silly mommy, poor bebe!  The cute bib is one of the handmade ones that were crafted at Ashton's baby shower.  This one is courtesy of Aunt Erin.

Excited for his walk!



Saying goodbye...

Happy Fourth!

Love,

K & J
