Our grandson, Troy, will be 9 months old soon. He's transformed from the crying handful he was for the first few months into a bundle of joy. Amazing to see how fast they grow, physically develop and learn. My wife babysits at my son's house three or four days a week, leaving me home alone to take care of our three cats. I see Troy about once a week or so, when my son and DIL go out on a date night, and occasionally babysit when my wife travels. I still remember how to change diapers and feed and burp a baby.
Hoping my daughter, who got married a few months ago, will have their first child within the next couple of years. Cousins that are nearly the same age seem to be closer.
