When Mom and Dad Are Away...

George will play!
I know for the vast majority of the people who read this blog (mainly grandparents and great-grandparents), you may feel deprived of George pictures.   You may be wondering what George did while we were in Seattle/Portland.  Well...he spent lots of time with Saty and Pop!  My mom did such a great job of sending 'Daily Pics' and Clay and I would race to see who could download them first.  Here's a glimpse of the fun George had:

George got his first glimpse of stairs...and he liked them.

Still intrigued by the stairs:

He got to go to Publix for no other reason than to ride in the cart.
Do you see the excitement?!

He was introduced to The Walker (separate post to come later) and wondered how 
The Walker would do with the stairs.
Luckily Saty saved him right before he went down the stairs.

George loves his Pop.  They are both old souls that just seem to prefer the simpler side of life.

If this is not Clay Cochran reincarnate as a baby, I don't know what is!

And then he was introduced to the baby pool...and bubbles.


 There was no doubt that George got the full 'Grandparent Experience' while we were away.
He had undivided attention, got to eat a cinnamon roll for an entire meal, and had fun on-demand all day long.  It absolutely blesses Clay and me so much that George's grandparents are chomping at the bit to get to do all of these things for him.

Then George came home to boring-old-home, with just Mom and Dad. In 24 hours he developed a mild case of the flu/stomach bug.  I'm wondering if he was just homesick for Satyville?!

Anyways, in other news.  George has started eating people food and drinking from a sippy cup.  This may not seem like big news, but to Clay and me, it means hands-free meals!!

Oh...sweet water!!

 Bathtime has shown George's agility.  
For some reason he loves to stack his toys on the faucet.


Last weekend we had an early dinner and took George to a playground nearby.  This seemed to remind him of his dear Saty & Pop's house, so he perked right up.


George is generally a happy baby.

He often uses his walker for other purposes.


I've had a few emails with things like, "George is the happiest baby!", or people at church will say that "he never cries".  While I do think that George is a silly and happy baby, he definitely has his moments.  For those that may need proof that George can be fussy, here are a few that I captured on camera:


I think the only thing to take away his blues is some Mama Zo 'shuga shuga!!!"

Lastly, here are two pictures that just melt my heart.  This summer has been restful, relaxing, and soaked up in sweet family time.  On Wednesday of this week, our family is getting bigger with a new niece for Clay and me, and a new cousin for George.  Okay Frannie- we are ready to meet you!!


  
Happy Monday, y'all!
