A Weekend With Shelby

We've been travelling grandparents for the past two weeks. We visited Rylee in LA two weekends ago, repacked, and visited Shelby in Seattle last weekend. The visit to Seattle was at my daughter's request. She asked if we could stay with Shelby while she and her husband took a weekend holiday to celebrate their 3rd anniversary.  Naturally we jumped at the chance.


We attended Shelby's birthday party in August, and it's hard to believe how much she's changed in 6 short weeks. She turned from a baby into a little girl, with longer hair, a bigger vocabulary (I'm officially "pop-pop" now), and a surprising sense of humor. Her favorite trick is to hold out something for me to eat, but as soon as I make a move for it, pull it away, stuff it into her own mouth and chortle.

Rylee at 3 months old

My newest grandbaby, Rylee Jewel, was a tiny 6 pounder when she arrived on June 18, but  just 3 months later, she's a sturdy 10 pounder with a commanding presence.  We had a chance to visit her last weekend, and found out she likes to hang out with her dad and watch football games.
