GRANDMA

On March 27, 2009 our Daughter, Cathryn, gave us the greatest gift of all. We now have a granddaughter! Her name is Aryana Rose and she is 4 mos old. She has made a big difference in my life. Cathryn had to go back to work after a short 6 week leave from her job. I watch the baby. Since I had my baby almost 24 years ago, many things have changed! The biggest thing that has changed is me. I was an older mother to start, but I hope better because I waited so long to be a mom. But now I'm 24 years older! Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it's me that has changed the most, not the babies. I love being with Aryana but I had forgotten how much work you need to devote to her. Sometimes when Cathryn comes to get her, all of us are sleeping in the living room with the TV going. We get so tired that it is a good thing Aryana likes to sleep too. Aryana has started to eat baby food, she is not quite sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. She has picked up a few things from Grandma and Grandpa, Grandma has taught her how to make some sounds that her Mommy did not know about, and Grandpa has taught her how to cough. Grandpa coughs all the time and now Aryana does it. It is so cute! More later........
