Adventures With Grandma

There was no surprise from me at Jack's response when asked who his favorite person is. I only had to ask, "is it Grandma?" once, and he was happily repeating her name, "Bama," several times over.

He will choose her over me when it comes down to it... and runs to her when he's in trouble. I don't think she minds, though. Who can resist this face?
She has introduced him to his new love of water, for which I will forever be either thankful or fearful of (he has no problem jumping into water where he's not supposed to... such as the duck pond at Tracy Aviary)...

Her favorite thing in the world is the hose. Here she is, teaching him how it's done...

Filling up the pool

And, a lot of the time, not bothering to take his diaper off to swim, so it ends up like this... about to fall off.

This is his first sprinkler time. After just learning how to get a drink from a water fountain, this is what it consisted of.

And of course, Grandma's favorite activity, water balloons. He loved holding them...

But didn't quite understand the concept of throwing them down, no matter how much she tried to convince him how fun it was.

One his favorite pastimes is now leading Grandma to find the lights for the train, which she introduced him to as well.
"This way!"

And playing with her phone... which, clearly, he wasn't happy to be caught on camera doing.

Going for strolls in the back yard...

And chillin' on the tramp.

Grandma is his world. I love it... and I think she might like it, too.

It's so fun to watch kids interact with their grandparents. Kenzie would choose her Grandmas over me any day of the week. Cute pics! He's getting so big. And, Congrats on baby #2. I'm so excited for you!
