Nanny Paula Visits

Nanny Paula was able to come back to visit the week before Mother's Day.  Tessa has a ball playing with her.  We shopped, went out to eat and hung out on the patio enjoying the nice weather.  Nanny read Tessa books and they snuggled in the chair. 

 Jackson played on his playmat.  I am actually able to put him down for a few minutes!

Ryan took his mom out for a Mother's Day lunch, just the two of them and they had a nice time.  I hope Jackson will want to do things like that with me when he's an adult.  Meanwhile, my parents and I went out with my grandma's best friend Alice Jane.  She was in town and wanted to meet Jackson.  She happily held my wiggly son and was amazed that he is already trying to stand up.  None of us can believe that Granny has been gone for over a year.  It was great to see Alice Jane again and I was so glad Jackson behaved in the restaurant.  Eating out has not been easy for us lately.

Jackson thinks Tessa is the most entertaining person.  I don't know if it's because she is so animated or because she is the closest to his size or what, but she can really make him laugh.  When she really gets him going he sounds like a squeaky toy.  I love, love, love hearing them giggle together!

 I'm so glad it's starting to warm up.  We watched Tessa play on the swing set in the backyard and when we went downtown for lunch we were able to sit at a table outside.  Jackson's bronchitis improved and we were all a little perkier with some sunshine.  Thanks for coming to visit Nanny Paula!
