This is the day we met our granddaughter, Mai-evy. We took turns holding her as she slept, stretched, puckered, made chipmunk sounds and thoroughly enchanted us. With her birth weight of 6lbs 13oz she seems small though she has long legs, fingers and feet. Compared to our babies who were 8lbs 13oz and 10lbs she is a bit smaller. But, she is so perfectly cute and very content. Her days and nights are inverted.
Aunt Lisa had been on duty helping out until we arrived so she returned home and we get to play helpers for awhile. Grandparent duty is a blast and a great privilege. When I get home to my computer I'll have a bunch of photos to share. Mai-evy's parents gave us a photo album of her first week.
We are so profoundly grateful to her parents that they are taking such good care of her. They have educated themselves about the duties and opportunities of parents and are teaching us much. What gifts they are!
