Gramm and Grandpa Lackey's Visit




Gramm and Grandpa Lackey came to visit July 17th and stayed for two weeks. We didn't get to go very many places because Grandpa is still in a cast from his foot surgery, but we had a GREAT time playing at home. Mommy took Madison to Grandpa early in the morning when Madison first woke up every morning to snuggle and play for a little while. Grandpa doesn't like waking up so early but he thinks snuggling with Madison is a super way to start the day. Gramm and Grandpa had a great time encouraging Madison to make her new pouty face and rock in her new rocking chair. Mommy got the rocking chair as a birthday present for Madison and plans to paint it. Madison had such a great time climbing in and out of it though, she got to have her present a little early. Now the question is: How will Mommy sneak it away to work on painting before her birthday? Hmmm


Gramm and Grandpa got to see Madison walk a little. She just toddles for a few steps then falls back on her fanny. We had a nice time watching the dolphins jump when we ate at Duke's in Malibu, Grandpa's favorite California restaurant; and visiting the Ronald Reagan library. Gramm thought it was funny that Mommy knows all the songs on the Disney morning cartoons. Madison loves to watch the Handy Manny, Doodlebops, Little Einsteins, and Higglytown Heroes in the morning. We just learned about Noggin too which is great to have on in the morning while Madison crawls and plays. She loves to dance when all the songs come on. Gramm laughs because Madison's 'dance' is flapping her arm like a chicken. Gramm calls it her chicken wing. It's pretty cute.


We were so sad when Gramm and Grandpa left. But we will see them again in the fall. Maybe even for Christmas!
