Proud Grandpa and Ella

Ella Herself
We went to Denver last week to see Derek's new baby, our new granddaughter Ella, who will be 10 weeks old on Tuesday.
It was a great visit. I got to hold her, feed her and I didn't have to change her. I learned I had muscles I hadn't used in 35 years almost. I also learned - once again - that very the act of holding a baby makes me sway.
One of the best parts of the visit was the language lessons. I worked on teaching her to say the following things:
"I love Grandpa Bill."
"I love Grandma Ann."
"I love Daddy."
"I love Mommy."
I would say each sentence one word at a time, and then repeat it out of the corner of my mouth in a high pitched voice. Ella spoke.
Even though I frequently look for improvement, I just can't imagine any way for her to improve!
I invite your praise of our beautiful baby below.

She's so beautiful. A joyous post.
Lovely!
Now William! You must change the diapers in order to earn your "best grandpa" badge!
Yes, she's adorable and I ENVY YOU!
So there...you've brought out my worst. I don't anticipate ever getting to 'grandma'!
Take care. Carol
Agree with Carol--you need to change some diapers, Grandpa!
She is gorgeous, Bill. You are all so lucky! And she is so lucky to have such loving family in her life!
