Grandma Shirley and Grandpa John visit Virginia!

Chris's parents came to visit before he had to leave for Korea. It was great!  Grandpa John helped Chris with so many project (see backsplash entry).

Bennett loves being read to!

grandpa introduced Bennett to beer! Now he is obsessed with putting bottles and cups to his mouth!

Tummy time on Grandma Shirley

Tried out his door hanging walker.  He wasn't so sure about it but ended up liking it.  I honk it looks like he is sitting in a laundry basket :)

What mom?!

Doing the polish jig with Grandpa John. I love the way john is looking at him in this picture.  Pure love!!!

Dogs being dogs... Begging

Grandma Shirley in the kitchen 

Loves his Exersaucer!

 

Bath fun with Grandma Shirley! 

We gave him a curl!

Wearing one of the outfits Grandma and Grandpa brought him. This outfit basically was on the verge of being too small so I'm glad we decided to put him in it this day - cause one day later and I don't think it would have fit!

Nice hat dude!

Before Grandma Shirley and Grandpa John left we decided to go to a restaurant in Norfolk that used to be a church. Freemason Abbey. Pretty cool! Too bad I didn't get any pictures of the inside!

I did manage to get some cute ones of Bennett and his grandparents. Too bad I didn't get a photo where everyone was looking at the same time!

After lunch we had some time before the airport so we drove to a nearby park that also happened to have a splash pad!

 

Good ol' hat is getting a little small.

We watched at first...

And then Grandpa John took us right up close to get a better view.  The first time the water came up faster than any of us expected and got Bennett in the face. Oops! He ended up liking it once he knew to kick his legs around.  We did get a video of that.

More Grandma Shirley and Grandpa John photos

I ended up downloading all the photos from John and Shirley's camera so I could blog.

Bennett and Grandpa John reading.  I was trying to be sneaky cause I knew Bennett would look at me as soon as he spotted me.

He loves looking at himself in mirrors! Grandma Shirley trying to keep him entertained!

It seems like the animals have the run of the house (they do).  Can you make some room for the humans to sit?

Smile!

The boy loves to play!

First taste of beer!  I think he likes the feeling of the cool on his gums.  Poor teething baby boy!

Chewing on Sophie!

Hanging with Grandma.  He is such an observer.

Got some photos of the pups

This may or may not have been while she thought Grandpa hated her... she ate poop outside and Grandpa wanted nothing to do with her for awhile.  I don't blame him!

More beer bottles!  He is a connoisseur now!

Bath time!

He loves bath time!

First time in this walker... He looks a little drunk...

Fell asleep while Momma was getting ready for bed.  I guess when you are THAT tired you will fall asleep in any position.

The best company!

There is sooo much love in this picture.  All the babies with a place on Grandma Shirley's lap!

Bath time - Grandparent addition!

Excuse me!

All three animals getting attention from Grandpa John!

Down on his level

More playing!

It really was so great having Chris's parents visit!  I treasure the times I got to spend with my own Grandparents and am so thankful Bennett gets to know and love his!
