Tears and Smiles

 Grammie watched Astrid today while mommy took a break at the Y.  Astrid is still going through a weird phase where she cries if anyone but mommy or daddy hold her.  It seems sort of like separation anxiety but it also seems like that is to early.  We're going to investigate and we are going to encourage people to hold her....even if she cries!  Grammie has tons of patience and mommy is grateful for her.  

Oliver's friends have lots of patience too....Astrid woke up towards the end of the drive back from Del Mar and cried a bit.  It could have been them waking her up because they couldn't stop touching her feet, holding her hands, and taking pictures of her.  Who would have guessed that boys who are sophomores in high school are so sweet and into babies!


Dropping off the boys before Grammie's.

Grammie talking to Astrid when she woke up...
practicing with her.  Mommy sat quietly and
stayed out of the way.  Grammie got some smiles 
and stretches...

Then this!  We'll figure it out.  Maybe going
to Indiana for 10 days where so many people want to meet Astrid.
and Grammie & Aunt Jess will be around constantly 
will help.  

She was fine at a fancy grocery store in Del
Mar where we walked around to give the boys more
fishing time.  Astrid was stopped by almost every
shopper.  They all thought she was just so cute.  
They probably wouldn't think that if they held her, ha!

We walked a short trail to go find the boys.

We spotted them on the bridge.  

We also saw Astrid's first train.

And the fair.  It's not normal.  Hopefully next year
we'll be able to go like normal and that Daddy will
be able to race again!

Titus and Liam.  Oliver didn't want
to fish on the bridge because of the trains.
Mommy is grateful for that.

He gave Astrid some bait while we waited.

She took it.  She can't wait to learn how 
to fish from her brother.

Oliver is starting her young!

The boys enjoyed riding with Astrid.  I'm
sure she'll get used to the fishing poles.  Usually they
are not right over her head, but we had a full car today.
