How to Spell Exhaustion

We were fortunate enough to have our Grandson Rudy with us this weekend and I spell exhaustion.........R - U - D - Y
At just over 13 months old he's full of spit and vinegar and you can't take your eyes off him for even a minute while he's awake. Everything he does is wonderful and filled with joy but OMG it's tough! My back is sore and my eyes feel like they have sand in them and yes he slept while he was here and slept well actually but it's the stressful way in which you watch someone so dear.
We had some toys to play with but he had more fun with containers and lids.



This was the nifty portable high chair we got for him that is strapped to an existing chair - worked like a dream.



This was Rudy and I playing with his jack-in-the-box and his baby remote control - don't you know that regardless of how young a man is that he has to have a remote control!!!



Rudy loved sitting in his Grandpa's computer chair and look up at the ceiling fan right above him - Rudy loves ceiling fans of all kinds.



And I also love to open and close the kitchen cabinets, it makes noise and it's something I can do all by myself. Of course he loves it more if he looks around and finds that you're watching him.



This was a little handheld game I keep in the bathroom (yeah I'm a "thinker" in the john) and Rudy uses it like his Daddy's iphone - guess this is another electronics junkie in the making!!



This is probably the gruffest photo I've ever taken of my dear sweet always happy Rudy and just for that reason I have to add it here.

We loved every single minute with Rudy but we're happy we can spoil him rotten to the core and give him back to his Mommy and Daddy - child rearing is definitely a young adults job!!
