Grandparents

It's occasionally been said that grandkids don't really know their grandparents if they live far away from each other, and they never develop that close relationship that they would if they were together all the time. This is kinda true, but Caitlyn did something the other night that I just about cried when she did it. She doesn't get to see her Nana (my mom) as much as I'd like, but I had her up on her changing table putting her pajamas on, getting her ready for bed. And right above her head is some photo albums, books, lotion, etc. on a shelf. Well, she grabbed a really old photobook, those you get from Wal-mart when you get pictures developed. The picture showing through the top is a picture of me and mom when I's probably 12. She started getting really excited saying, "Nana, Nana, Nana..." She's been gradually recognizing family through pictures and such that we try to keep before her. And now it's paying off.

She's growing up so fast, and its just hard to watch her get bigger. She's officially not my baby anymore. She won't let me hold her in my arms like she used to. I have to fake a cry to get her to feel sorry for me and come hug/kiss me. Yeah...I do that quite often. But I think this is where moms start to get baby fever again cause they want that baby close in their arms. Don't worry, no baby fever here. But I mean, she's potty training; she'll soon be in cute little Dora underwear, walking around like a big girl, going to the potty by herself (well, almost). We gonna teach that "wiping" thing REAL quick...LOL...cause that's just gross : )
