Grandparents Visit Part I

Dad (Grandpa Skip) and Grandma Nita arrived yesterday to meet Mitchell. Mitchell was so excited to meet them that by the time they arrived he was exhausted and couldn't keep his eyes open. Nita demonstrated her professional level maternal moves by immediatlely holding him, rocking him, and comforting him. We were all impressed when she spun him around while balanced on one finger like a Harlem Globe Trotter basketball. Mitch loved it. Unlike Nita with 6 kids and 13 grandchildren of her own, this is grandpa Skips first grandchild. He wouldn't hold Mitchell for at least 20 minutes and even then he insisted he sit down. I keep catching him staring at Mitchell shaking his head in loving disbelief. Mitchell has awoken several times to give a little smile usually preceeded by a burp, fart, and/or poop. Above is a video of Mitchell meeting his grandparents.
