My youngest is 27 so you can imagine my point of reference as it comes to taking care of a four month old infant overnight. My oldest son and daughter in law left him for the first time overnight with the grandparents. I gotta tell you...I have such renewed respect for anyone taking care of an infant, and having anything resembling a life, much less a job too. I'm exhausted. Don't let the picture fool you...they move around more than a Mexican jumping bean. They never stop, and whatever they touch goes right in their mouth.
I forgot just how much drool comes out of their little bodies. I swear he drooled his body weight each day. It's everywhere, but especially on my shoulder. Where does it all come from?
Oh yeah. I forgot to mention they left their dog Wheezie too. Wheezie and my two dogs aren't exactly best buds. You can't have three alpha dogs in the same room. Four month old baby, three dogs, overnight...what am I nuts? I may be, but I loved every minute of it.

Our daughter is expecting her first baby in December. We are excited but our youngest is 15 and we know we'll be exhausted too when we watch him!
Sharon, Him...so you know what the baby is going to be? Congratulations to your daughter and the new grandparents!
Well, if the sonogram is correct. I did mention the other day we really aren't sure until the baby is born, but they will probably definitely know on the next one :)
Richard - that is one adorable grandbaby! It's a good thing people have their kids when they're young! He is absolutely gorgeous!
Linda, You're talking about the one on the left...right. Thanks!
Richard - :-) why of course!
Your kids are very lucky - my folks wouldn't even consider watching my kids for an hour!
That first pic should be your ActiveRain avatar. It's priceless! :o)
Very sweet. As he grows up, come back to this post and you will see how much he grew. Cherish it.
Richard...
You look tired in that photo, my friend!
Oh my - sounds as though you need to take a day off and rest up after this! All the best.
I am expecting another grandbaby at the end of January. As long as it's been since there was an infant in the house, I am really looking forward to being exhausted :-) Nice thing about it..when I get too tired I can call and say "Ok, I'm done, come get him" :-)
Your grandson is a cutie pie!
