For those of you who haven’t seen the “Drama Prairie Dog” clip,
click here. And then later …the “Dramatic Baby” clip came out. Click here to view it.
(”Baby J,” maybe when you’re older we could do a clip. Just kidding! LOL )

Our first grandbaby, a grandson, arrived this past Wednesday.  He is so adorable and so precious.  Anyone who’s been around a newborn baby knows how precious they are.   It’s amazing how a whole room full of people (even four men) can sit or stand around in a hospital room and be totally fascinated and entertained by watching a tiny newborn .  Well…he wasn’t exactly tiny…he weighed 8 pounds and was 20 inches long.  But in comparison to everyone else in the room, he was tiny.  And it was the sweetest thing when he put his tiny little fingers around one of my fingers, or when he made those sweet little sounds that only newborns make, or when he finally opened his eyes and looked at me!   We thank God for this sweet little bundle of joy.  What a blessing in the lives of all of us in that hospital room!

Our daughter is “great with child,” meaning that she is going to have a baby, “Baby J,” very soon.   And anyone who’s been pregnant in the hot months knows that it feels like a furnice is in your tummy.  (I had an August baby and a September baby!!)  They have central air but recently got an oscillating fan just for her.  Our son-in-law asked her where she wanted it and she said, “Wherever I am!!”  And that’s so true.  And I got to thinking about how our neighbor down the street has a robot lawn mower (which is the neatest thing to watch).  Well, if they can make robot lawn mowers and other things, wouldn’t it be neat if they had a robot fan just to follow pregnant women around in the house and maybe even blow out extra-cold air.  I guess for now, the next best thing is to go open the freezer door and cool off that way!  LOL

When our two children were babies, baby walkers were popular.  We had a “Super Coupe” Walker that they both enjoyed.  Now that our daughter is expecting a baby, I’ve learned that baby walkers are not as popular.  Now baby bouncers are recommended.   At one of our daughter’s baby showers she received the neatest bouncer.  It has all sorts of interesting things for the baby that are not only fun but educational as well.   It helps the baby exercise but is stationary to keep the baby safer.
