annlittle1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 This is Keira Marie, my four month old granddaughter. She weighs about 12 pounds. She was premature and weighed a whopping 4 lb 1.5 oz at birth. She came home a week later weighing 3 lb 12 oz. She is doing very well and has begun to show her little personality. She prefers sleeping in someone's arms and really hates ( as in loud screams) to have a dirty diaper. She gives wide open-mouth toothless grins and has begun to make cooing sounds. No, the white in her mouth is not a tooth. Its spit up and she anointed me with it right after the picture was taken.

mountainmanda Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 super precious! Although I CAN wait to be a grandma I have several adopted nieces and nephews around the county and love each and every one like my own. I love those babies, just as long as I can give them back after spoiling them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigletaz Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 cute!!! I love babies and wish I had been able to have 5, but alas, two is the limit for this body. I saw a documentary last night on a family with a single toddler, quads, then a set of triplets! Eight kids under the age of 3. OMG. Congratulations on your little sweetie.

PattyJo Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 What a cutie. And Grandma looks so proud. What a team they make. Looks like an up and coming quilter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlittle1 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes, I am a doting grandmother, or Nanna, as I am called. I dote on the three grandsons, too, but it is nice to have a little granddaughter to dress in frilly pink dresses. I just hope she loves dresses and babydolls. I made sure she had a babydoll when she came home from the hospital. I have her and her two year old brother three to five days a week. Her big brother has been watching quilting and crafting shows with me since he was a week old. On weekends he watches car shows and Nascar with his Pappa. Between DH and me they should be well rounded. Oh, you should hear Joshua sing--at age two. He sings the tunes perfectly, but the words aren't so clear. I think I'll always think of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as "Ginkle, Ginkle, idel ar" He has curly hair, but his Dad just got him a "summer" haircut. It doesn't even look like him. We don't know what Keira's hair will be like since it still looks like peach fuzz. Joshua--new haircut.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Joshua is such a handsome little man!!! If he has a swooning singing voice and those good looks, he'll have all the girls chasing after him big time! If I were 40 years younger I would have a crush on this cute! I'll bet Joshua is a great "mama's helper" to his new little sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Oh Phyllis, how wonderful!! LOL! I know what you mean "anointed". I always said when mine were babies that the dried spit-up on my shoulders was my Badge of Motherhood, which is those days was more precious to me than any other award (well, I guess it still is, LOL!). What a precious gift, and what a gift of a Grandma you are! My mom never lived nearby, though visited once or twice a year, and MIL never liked holding babies as they made her nervous. Sometimes I can't wait to be a grandma now, then I realize it's really not time yet. But how fun for you!! And oh! what an adorable "little man", as Shana says! Can I borrow him? Mind is 13 now and incorrigible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annlittle1 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks everyone. I think they are both adorable and spoil them rotten when they are here. I do make Joshua mind, but I find that I am much more lenient with him than I ever was with my own children. I have them three to five days a week. When they are here I get very little done. Definitely no quilting. When I don't have them for several days I get lots of quilting done, but I really miss them. I also have two older grandsons, Blake, age 5 1/2 and A.J. who is four months older than Joshua. They live about a hundred miles away so I don't get to see them as often as I would like. Believe me, I spoil them just as much as the younger two. Oh, yes being a grandmother is super duper fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renae Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Phyllis.......you have a couple of very cute grandbabies and I can see how easy it would be to spoil them. I'm sure you are a fantastic "nanna";) Renae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
