Not keeping up OC

Grandma has fallen way behind on this project hasn't she? Well, not really. I've worked hard at keeping the scrapbook updated that you gave me when you were born. I've worked hard at making sure we are a very big part of your life.

Do you have any idea what a difference you have made in my life? I had no idea when I found out I was going to be a Grandma, how much my life would change. I had no idea that I would NEED to hear you in the back ground while I was on the phone with your Mommy.

I had no idea how much your Mom and Dad would allow Grandpa and I to be involved in your life. I had no idea how much we would NEED to be involved in your life.

Your Daddy is so special. I remember when it was almost time for you to be able to eat baby food. Your Daddy brought a jar and a spoon to me because I was at your house, and I wouldn't be the next week. He said, "Well Grandma, you should give her a little, it's just a week early."

Your Mommy and Daddy have worked so hard to make sure that we got to see you every month for an extended visit. They have worked so hard to make sure we were there for the firsts in your life. You need to know how special your Mom and Dad are.

I had no idea how much I would love watching you play in the lake or play with the other children.

OC, I had no idea how important you would become. I had no idea how deep the love in my heart for you would run.

Grandma will work harder at keeping this blog updated. You may have to kick her in the butt once in awhile to remind her to do this.... but I promise you... the Scrapbook is UPDATED.. with all the firsts and special moments.

It has you in the lake. It has you on the dock. It has you riding all the rides at the park. It's all there my little love, it's just not all here.

So, here we go.. Your Auntie Chris is about to find out how much joy and Grandchild will bring, so we need to keep on top of this so she doesn't out do us..You ,, my dear baby.. can now help me.

Grandma has made you an author.... so when Grandma comes to visit... we will add your side to this blog....(of course my dear, it will be Grandma's take on your side cause you can't type yet)

I love you very much....

Grandma...
