Memphis trip: first 8 weeks - part 2

In May, when Grey was just 5 weeks old, mom and I made the trip to Memphis, Tenn. to visit family and introduce little baby Grey. My parents are both from Memphis and most of our family is still there.

The traveling part was pretty uneventful. Grey did great! Looking back it was a little ambitious to go that early. I don't think I realized how tired I still was, but it was a really fun trip!

We made a point to visit my Uncle Bill -- my dad's mom's brother. He is actually my grandmother's twin brother. We have the greatest memories growing up and going to visit Uncle Bill. He was so excited to meet little Grey. ...and yes, I was as tired as I look in this picture!





This is mom and her sister Jeanne, also known as NeNe. We stayed with Jeanne and had SO much fun. She loved on Grey! I have the best, best, best memories of going to Jeanne's house and playing with her four girls! Jeanne is also the most talented seamstress. She made Grey's going home gown and managed to whip out some of the cutest bubbles for him while we were there.


This is Jeanne's husband, Philip, also known as Popsicle. He is the funniest person you'll meet. He was playing with Grey and made him smile for the first time.

Popsicle and my Uncle Andrew, mom's youngest brother.

Me, Grammy -- my grandmother/mom's mom, Grey, Mom, and Jeanne.


I love Grey's sweet expression!




All the traveling and visiting really took its toll on little guy. Here he decided to pass out on his Sassy.


"Hmmmm, I wonder what Daddy is doing?"



Grey has always been a BIG stretcher. Here he was showing Grammy how he does it!
