We’ve been having a lot of family fun lately.  Last week Eric’s dad, Dave who we call Pop, came to visit from California on his way to an African Safari.  He was so into Ona and taking care of her.  I was very surprised and impressed how hands on he was holding, feeding, changing and playing with the baby girl.  She liked him too.  After he held her, she would smell like Old Spice.

He taught us a "trick" for transition from holding a sleeping baby to laying her down…she always wakes back up.  He showed us how to keep her moving with our hand so she stays awake.  Yeah, tricks:)

Then at a family gathering over the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday, my niece, Laura, informed Eric that when you go potty it sounds like, "uuuhhh(grunting)."  Kids are so funny!

Here’s Ona with her baby cousin, Thomas.  Above is my mom, Nena with Thomas, Ona, Matthew, and Laura.
