A Swinging Good Time!

OK, if photos of adorable little baby boys don't make your heart sing, I understand! But I'm afraid that's what this post has to offer! We had a delightful visit to our Baby Grands and I think we all left with smiles.


Now that I think of it, we may need to come up with a new moniker for the senior Baby Grand. Maybe both of them. Could be it is Big Guy...


...and Little Guy.


Little Guy doesn't do much yet but he has mastered the art of sleep with an A+!


This is a very good thing for mom and dad. Because Big Guy keeps them on their toes!


For example, he's learned how to unlock the gate that leads from the back yard to the street. Supervision is required! He's a bit of a daredevil, trying to take steps a little too tall for his not-quite-Big-Guy legs. Spotting is essential -- especially on cement steps! And if it looks interesting, it's edible. Not! (Although cake pops seemed to be just fine!)


He's fascinated with jewelry that bangles...


...and was quick to figure out how to make his new helicopter make different sounds.


We love the swing! Buckle up!


Now, smile!


And away we go!


 That was fun! Let's go again!


OK, time for a rest with Grandpa. Because all that playing can tire a guy out. (And we won't say which one!)


Well, that didn't last long!


It's like going from one extreme to the other!


And we like that extreme just fine!


I have a feeling this one will sleep well on this sunny, lovely day.


And so will we!

  5. They are both so cute and have very expressive faces. :) How can you not have fun with those guys-especially the big guy. (The little one will get his day in time I am sure.) They certainly made me smile this morning. You and Rick are lucky grandparents for sure. Happy Sunday-hugs-Erika

  10. There is nothing more adorable to write about or photograph than small children and pets. These two are adorable and I love how you captured their parents, too. It's good to spend time with them, and yes, I believe big grand needs a new name (grin).

  13. Jeanie, You know I love those cute little boys. Got some around here too. Can't get enough snuggling. I laugh about your husband tiring ...those little ones may have short legs but they can absolutely wear us out. So cute. You will look back one day and laugh about that chocolate smile. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie

  14. I love that Rick has figured out that pushing the swing is a sit-down job. I have a little one who would spend all day in the swing. Next time I'm going to pull up a chair for swing time.

    Those two children are beautiful.

  15. Such beautiful little boys. Your photography skills captured them at their best. I spent the day surrounded with little ones too but unfortunately several of the parents are firmly against anyone posting their kids' photos online, so I have to respect that.

  19. So good that baby grand sleeps well since the older one is so active.
    My 20 month grandson came to visit on Saturday and he just wants to "taste" everything from garden pebbles to plants, we have to keep a close eye on him at all times!
    Nevertheless little kids are such fun, and it's so wonderful to see them develop and learn to speak, etc, etc.
    Have fun Jeanie!

  27. Oh, such precious pictures, Jeanie. I absolutely love the one of mother and baby. And the one of grandpa on the white chair and grandson on the white chair on the opposite side, that's a treasured picture. And those messy faces are always funny. Nel's baby is due any day, and getting exciting about that.

  28. Such a great post about the fun of being grandparents! Your grandchildren are precious with their fair skin and bleached blonde hair.

  29. Glad the little guy sleeps well. Not half as glad as his parents are with how busy the big guy is though, I bet!

    Sounds like the big guy is really smart... Perhaps a little too smart. ;)

  30. How supre CUTE and Precious are your Little Guy and Big Guy!! Fun new monikers! Aren't they beautiful babes... *sigh* ... Good thing Little Guy is so little, what with all Big Guy is getting up too. Now I know why parents space their children. ;) haha... What an exciting time for you and your family--just love seeing and hearing about it! So many smiles... Just love that pic of Rick with Big Guy, just resting on the porch... Sweet!! And that with Molly--lovely moment... HAPPY DAYS to you all!! ((BIG HUGS))

  31. Little Guy and Big Guy are adorable! I'm glad Little Guy is sleeping well for mom and dad. I hope that remains the case for them! I'm so tired with one baby so can't imagine having a baby and a toddler to chase around! Big Guy is in such a fun age. It's great when you can really play with them and their personalities come out more and more. Paul is getting into a fun stage, too, and I look forward to all the stages to come as I know it just gets better and better!

  32. They seem like very happy guys! And you and Rick look positively radiant when you're with them.

  33. Sound like a good way to identify each of your guys. The big guy got a hair cut too and is looking oh so much older with a little guy around.

  34. Babies and young children do make my heart sing - lovely post!

  35. Could it get any happier than this?!! Big Guy is still a pretty little guy, especially when he sits in that big chair near his grandfather! Thanks for sharing all that Baby Love! And either they are extremely photogenic, or you are a talented photographer. I suspect it's both! Enjoy those little family people!

  36. They are both adorable, Jeannie! Enjoy, the time passes so quickly.

  37. Jeanie, I love little boys and their fun personalities. The baby grands are both adorable and I can tell that you both might spoil them a bit. Enjoy every minute making wonderful memories!

  38. Your grandsons are adorable, Jeanie! I know they bring you and your husband a lot of joy. There is nothing better than grandparenting!

  39. Cute little and big guy! They get their work to be done fast. They grasp new things easily. Love the cute smile. Enjoy the time:)
