Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum: Missing Those Babies - Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum

Now that I have time to think, because the work week is over, I am reflecting on the those two little grandchildren out in San Diego. Brayden is almost 2 and Bailey is almost 1. My arms just ache to be picking them up and holding them and playing with them. I miss their spontaneous smiles and hearing them laugh (or cry). Both of them were delightful with the baby ways and funny things they do. I guess the thing that is so painful is that I have no idea when I'll get to see them again. They grow so fast and I miss so much. Even though I get frequent pictures, its not the same as hearing them laugh or having them respond to me. I guess I'm selfish that way. In the pictures they are smiling at Mom .. but when I'm there with them, the smiles are for me.

I got to see Brayden with a ball and bat. It was his first time and he really didn't quite get why I would throw the ball and he should try to hit it. He preferred holding the ball in one hand and the bat in the other and trying to connect them accompanied by the sound of shhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm sure his baseball daddy will straighten him out.

I got to see Bailey balancing herself and take 4 little steps. She had not done that before and her mother was delighted. We couldn't get a repeat performance but I did get to see it. She was delightful with her big blue eyes and she made her first trip to the beach and got her feet in the sand and water. See layout Footprints

Yep, I miss those little ones. I miss my son too, but I can call him on the phone and talk and his smile is engraved in my heart. It takes a little more time to engrave the babies' smiles and giggles.
