They do what we do.

Yesterday, Tina drove out with all three kids to visit and leave Cody cause he spent the night. Grady (15 days old)cried cause he was hungry, so Tina covered up and began to breast feed him. Emily (4 years old) pulls up the child's rocking chair rises her blouse and places her baby doll to her chest. i ask Emily, "What are you doing Emily?". She replies, "Feeding my baby like Mom." We covered our faces and giggled silently. How much they emulate us simply amazes me.

MY BABY!

Yesterday, Nana and Papa went to see Grady after he was brought home. Of course there was diaper and feeding duties... I can't do the feeding since he is breast fed. I got to burp him, which was fine. A little male bonding.
Grady is still getting settled in his new environment with siblings hoovering around him. Big brother Cody wanted to hold him and big sister Emily wanted to check out all the baby body parts and help change diapers, and then report back on the progress. Both call Grady as "MY BABY". I am sure that will wear-off when he grabs something of theirs.
Tina is just relaxing as John fills in for any jobs that arises like dinner and laundry. Nana and Papa enjoyed the time holding the little guy... and burping him.

Just before the fireworks

May I introduce our seventh grandchild, Grady Anthony Bauer, born on the 4th of July at 8:33 PM and weighing 8.4 lbs. and 20.5 inches. Mother and child are doing fine and resting comfortably.
