Last night was relatively peaceful and this morning uneventful except that Gam Gam and Slappy came to visit sweet little Elliot. They timed the visit well, as he finished breakfast at the same moment at which they arrived. Each grandparent held him for a while. As has been mentioned, Elliot is very strong and can hold his head up to look around for several minutes at a time. I’m not sure that I could do that while lying down.
Gam Gam changed a half-dozen or so diapers over the course of her half-hour visit and then she headed out for pizza. Elliot had lunch while I prepared a turkey sandwich for Kate and a cheeseburger for myself. Not everyone can hold a quiet baby and then leave for a nice lunch.
After the three of us had eaten, Elliot and I sat down to watch the Orange & White game streamed via foxsportstennessee.com through the projector. Elliot was mainly sleeping and after the Orange team scored the stream quit working. It was pretty much the 2011 Volunteer season in a nutshell. We watched the second half of Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona instead. Great Aunt Jeanine et al are scheduled to visit this evening and hopefully Elliot will remain content. We’ve made it all day with no crying unless he was on the changing table so we’re pretty much guaranteed a calm evening and night.
