Time With Our Grandbaby

 

Brigham and his ball.  He likes bouncing on it (with help) and rolling on it with his belly
and making ah ah ah noises.  Very fun.

Today Derek and I were able to watch our grandson Brigham for a while.  He is SO cute (of course) and was happy enough to see us.  We sat down and started playing with him, but he really wanted to follow his Dad around the house while he got ready for work.  He would crawl as fast as he could trying to catch up to Mike, and stand up using Mike's legs when he was close by.  When it was time to go I thought we would have Brigham watch Mike get in his police car and drive away.  So, Derek held him up and he sat on the back of the couch looking out the window as Mike walked out, climbed in the car and drove away.  And then?  Melt down.  Brigham did not want his Dad to leave.  Derek comforted him, which took a few minutes, and it was pretty close to time for his nap and so that's what he did next.

He didn't wake up until his Mom got home.  He was happy to play some more with Mom close by.  We enjoyed getting to see the whole family during our visit and I thought it was sweet that Brigham loves his Dad so much, and his Mom too, that he is sad when they leave (though thankfully he gets over it and plays).  I love what a good job Mike and Tia do taking care of and loving Brigham!
