Xavier Meets One of His Grandpas
Greetings and hello to everyone.
Xavier had a busy weekend. His maternal grandfather flew in for a visit. Labor Day was a long weekend and it worked out for us to receive Danny, Rebecca's father.
I picked Dan up Friday at DIA. On the way home, he and I stopped at Once Upon A Child, a second-hand store for all things baby and toddler related (it's where we found most of Xavier's early preemie clothing which he has at last outgrown). Rebecca had purchased an item we have been discussing getting for a few weeks: a swing. She bought it, but had no room in the car to carry it home. Dan and I made it work with a little disassembly and repacking of his suitcases and Xavier's car seat base.
Danny was happy to see his grandson, for him it is his first grand child. Though happy to see Rebecca, he headed for Xavier as soon as he could. Whipping out the camera, he started his photo shoot, a shoot which continued through the next four days.
For Rebecca, her father's visit meant sleep! She got to rest late into the morning with no concern of getting up to care for Xavier. On Saturday, she did not even feed Xavier until 11:00 PM at night.
We even got a visit from Auntie Rochelle, Rebecca's sister. She joined us Sunday, when we introduced both she and Dan to the chicken at White Fence Farms.
We praise our God for gifting Danny with the trip to visit his grandson. Always, thank you all for your prayers.
Grandpa burps Xavier after a feeding. One of the things Danny did not get to experience this time out was one of Xavier's infamous eruptions, where he returns his milk all foamed up back to the person feeding him. Alas. Perhaps, next time.
With Xavier asleep, Grandpa could have put him down in the new swing just three feet away. Instead, he opted to show solidarity with his grandson, joining him in a quick catnap.
