This is Grandma Bonnie Jr. :)
I met Eddie IV for the first time Friday afternoon, Sept. 26, It was love at first sight! At first I was nervous picking him up, it has been a long time. Within seconds it felt natural, normal. I felt like one of his grandmothers! It was an amazing feeling to be gazing upon my son's son, and he does remind me very much of Eddie III at birth. Eddie IV stared at me with those penetrating eyes, eyes like his mother. He's an attentive baby. When I held him I felt a bond. I think he knows I'm family. And he is such a cuddle bug!

Like my boys, he likes to be held up, and like Charlie Washuk has to be encouraged at times to sleep. I don't think he wants to miss anything. He is smiling, which just lights up your heart. Eddie IV is rarely NOT being held!

For three days, Fri., Sat and Sun, I had the privilege of holding him, tagging along as mom & dad took Eddie in walks in the stroller, watching Eddie coo over him, Josie feeding and nurturing him. It gives me such joy to watch my son be so into his role as dad, and what a gentle, loving, caring mother Josie is. Eddie IV is incredibly lucky! And I feel blessed to have such a grandson! I love you little Eddie IV! Thank you Eddie & Josie for having me, and for adding such a gem to our family.
