David and Me
""

My brother Joel died 3 months before the birth of his only grandchild. Today is David's 1st birthday. He's a whopper, 30 lbs. 4 teeth, crawling and pulling up but not walking yet. Learning new words every day. Blows kisses to say goodbye. 

This is me and my grand nephew, David.

I know, right? 8lb. 10 oz, when he was born. Not a cesarean, I'm in awe of his mom. Also she teaches 6th grade.

David is precious and wonderful. . . and a 'cutey.' In time, he will be 'easy on the eyes' for the ladies his age! I pray with the family that his life will go well!

What a pleasure to be introduced to the both of you! How nice is that?! Big baby. I love 'fat' babies; happy babies; 'power' babies; cheeky babies, smiley babies, . . . . And, from the length of him (gasp) he's going to be tall by the time he is oh, eleven! Look at those legs! Those arms: that boy must have a 'kong fu grip'!

Tell me, what do you do when he grabs you by the hairs on your chinny chin-chin?! :) 

Proud as punch, I betcha! David is a looker, too! :)

He's a little powerhouse. He is very tall for his age. I do have watch for him grabbing my beard, he's got a grip!

Very tall. When he starts walking-it will be 'On'! So happy to see a year old having a celebration of life! Well done!

Very nice gesture on your part to honor your brother and his grandson. By the way, why is he holding you like that?

 A one year old! I know a Five years old that is 34 pounds-thereabouts.

My brother, my nephew (Davey's dad), and myself all had gray hair before we graduated from high school. I told my nephew it's good to see one of us with no gray hairs. LOL

I love coming back here to look at David!  Wheel, you're cool. It's David who makes my day! What a happy baby. Blows 'kisses' too? Post David's growth and development from time to time-I-we love it! Only if you are okay (comfortable) doing so. David - Welcome to the NT family!

What a beautiful little boy! It is too heartbreaking that your Brother died before he got to hold and  cuddle with him. As a new Great-Great Grandmother as of today, it males my heart very sad that he will not be able to be with his first, and only, Grandson. 

And I am very sorry that David will not be able to enjoy being with his Grandfather.
