Gran and Grandad Get Some Turner Time!

I love sharing through this blogsite! It is for anyone who is interested of course. But it is truly for Aunt Jenny, who cannot be here to hold Turner, to see him grow, to enjoy time with her brother and sister-in-law. Enjoy the pics Aunt Jenny! Soon, in only 50+ days, you'll be home!!! Then you can get some Turner Time too!! And we'll have some Addi and Maddox Time. We are so blessed!

On Wednesday, November 5, Kit and I drove to Apex, to Matt and Kristen's home for a visit. Well, honestly, we wanted to have some Turner Time!!! Getting to see Matt and Kristen is a bonus too! When we arrived, Matt had not gotten home from working in Roxboro, but of course Kristen and Turner were there. Turner had just awakened from a 10 minute nap, not enough sleep for the little six week old baby boy, but nevertheless, he was awake. I think that he knew when we drove into the neighborhood, so he wanted to greet us upon arrival! RIGHT! Everytime we see him, we can see how he has grown. After I held him for only a few minutes, Kit reached for him for his turn...not really giving me the time that I wanted to hold Turner. But I let him have the sweet baby boy! Of course, then Turner wasn't happy and started making his unhappy faces and sounds! Kristen fixed him a bottle so that we could feed him. He is a nursing baby, but usually gets one bottle a day from his Dad once Matt arrives home each evening. Matt also gives Turner his bath. This provides some great "father-son" time for both. Turner wasn't happy with the bottle as I tried to feed him. He played with it for a few minutes, then began to fuss. Kristen took him and he did drink some of the formula for her. Matt arrived home and we were happy to see him. I tried to feed Turner once again while Matt and Kristen took care of some house things. (They have a friend of Kristen's, Kelly, flying in to visit with them for a few days.) Turner once again played with the bottle! He then gave me the privilege of changing a poopy diaper! I didn't mind at all! Kit then took Turner for a walk outside and he settled down as long as Kit kept moving.

Turner is so alert and watches everything! It is like he doesn't

want to miss anything that is happening around him. In the

picture you can see how he holds his head back so that he

has a great view!

Those eyes are big and beautiful!!!! Very dark too.

Kit stopped walking so that I could take a picture...Turner

wasn't very happy about that!!!!

Chloe went outside with us too! But she stayed on the deck

and watched.

Turner drank from his bottle with his Mommy! She's a

great mother and he knows it! There is no one like your

own Mom and Dad!

We went to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse and it was so

good! Kit and I rode in the backseat with Turner. He was

happy when the car was moving, but let us know of his

unhappiness when we had to stop! There was one red

light that was really a long one. Kit and I did our best to

entertain the boy, but he wasn't interested!!!

Let's get this car moving please!!!

The car started moving...Turner said "alright!"

But then....when we stopped...phases of Turner's unhappiness

during the drive to the restaurant.

What a long stoplight!!

See those cute little legs!!!

Is it Mommy's driving or Gran's flash on the camera???

Once we were in the restaurant, it was snooze time!

Turner slept throughout our meal. What a good baby boy!

He continued sleeping even after we arrived back to his

home in Apex. So sweet!

We had a great time with this precious family. Matt and

Kristen's generosity in sharing Turner just shows how

wonderful they are. Kristen said to come anytime! We are

so grateful that God has blessed us with our loving children.

We know that He is with us. Praise the Lord for His presence.
