Grandpop was shaking in his boots when I dropped Carter off last Friday. He hasn't taken care of an infant by himself in 18 years and he hasn't changed a dirty diaper in 28. (He used to pay me a dollar to change all of my brother's diapers whether they were wet or poopy) He has been very hesitant to offer to babysit and usually won't do it unless my mom is home to help him.
But I had no other choice. My mother-in-law had to go out of town and my mom was working so Dad was my last resort. I snuck out of work as soon as my last class finished becuase I was so nervous, but when I got home my dad was as calm as a cucumber and said everything went fine. Luckily for my dad, Carter took long naps and only got fussy once. Carter saved all the fussiness for me later that evening, but I was so relieved that my Dad's back didn't give out or anything. It's so physically tiring for me to be constantly picking him up and carrying him around everywhere to calm him down and I'm not 62 years old with several back surgeries under my belt!
Hooray for Grandpops!

m,Look at all that hair! The boy is going to need a brush soon.
Any more teeth? We are still MIA on teeth!
Yes his hair is coming in again. He has one more tooth coming in again right next to the other one. I'll try to get a picture of it today.
