Babysitting IRA......

 Ira was six months old on March 3rd.

And so his Daddy planned a day out with his Mommy

on March 2nd to celebrate 6 months of mommyhood...

And I got the blessing of babysitting.... 

 I had sooo much fun with him.  First we curled up in the rocking 

chair and had a nice long nap together.  I absolutely love to do that

with my grandbabies.  It is so comforting to hold their warm little

bodies and hear their gently breathe, smell their sweet scent, 

and just cuddle and love them.  And of course, as he fell to sleep

I sang my two favorite lullabies that I learned from my Mom...

Be-o-by-o buntin'

Daddy's gone a huntin'

He'll bring back a rabbit skin

to wrap my little Ira in...

Be-o-bye, don't you cry

We'll go up to grannies

Up the hill and by the mill

to see the little lambies. 

He liked my singing.... and I liked singing to him.

 I just love his big eyes.  They are so expressive.

He is so pleasant and cheerful.  Really has a special spirit.

It is going to be fun to get to know him better as he grows up.
