We drove half way to meet our children today to pick up Rudy while they (our son and DIL) enjoyed some adult time at a very nice resort. This is our first time to babysit Rudy solo at our home. He's such a sweet spirited little boy, eats well, plays well, and hopefully sleeps well ;). We got home, put him into the highchair we purchased (yes we are hoping for more grandchildren) and fed him then we played, went for a walk, came home and played with his Aunt Jenny for awhile and then there was bath and bedtime (no fuss, no muss, he went down talked with himself for a short while and then.............whewwwww, this Nana is exhausted!
I know Rudy gets up early, probably between 5:30 - 6:00 (that's AM people). Tomorrow his Great Grandpa and his Great Great Aunt, along with his Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mario will come to visit which will allow me some time to drop my EC's and maybe take a long hot shower.
Rudy is 13 months old and is into everything and because he walks there are no boundaries - do you remember those days?
I sure do miss the smell of a baby and to watch their sweet innocence - is there anything better? Their smiles or the way he juts out his lower lip make my heart turn to jello.
Having this little man in my life is the best part of growing older.

My son is 33, my daughter is 31 and none of them are married yet and so being grandfather is not of actuality at this moment. And that is perhaps not bad as I have not finished roaming around yet and soon will leave for a mission.
But I remember the "baby smell". In particular when it comes to my son. To share our parents "duties" when he was a baby, it was always me who got up in the night to feed him. So that my wife could have a good nights rest. Because he was awfully troublesome. In a few weeks (or month), the story will be in my "Memoirs".
Way to go! Hey, Rudy will whip you into shape this weekend,lol. Don't you love it when he is all yours. No parents to say "no mom we don't do that" Oh, spoil him rotten. that's what we are for! I know the Baby feeling, I miss that! sometimes I think maybe I will adopt one more. then My brain kicks in and I remember how much work it was. so for now being Auntie E is great!:-)
It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Lucky you and how nice to give the parents a rest.
Yep, there's nothing better than grandbabies. :)
I couldn't agree more with you. The 'baby smell' and their sweet innocence were what I was looking forward to most when I spent time with them.
Debbie, I can't believe how big he has grown. He's just adorable. You are one lucky Grandma.
We found an old tape that we forwarded to my husband's parents the other day of my daughter saying nursery rhymes. Sadly their grandparents have passed away but it was lovely to think that they kept the tape - and I intend to embarrass my daughter ... just a little next time she comes back for a visit!
