The meeting


Adrian my first grandchild meets his cousin Jennifer. He came home full of news and emotion. "She's got a lovely little head with a bump in it" he is definitely enraptured. Adrian says he loves her because she looks cute.
Hopefully the admiration will be mutual as she grows up, her mummy and aunty have always been very close, so I think the cousins will be too.

First Grandaughter

Here's my first grandaughter, Jennifer Louise. Born at 14:32 on February 11th 2007. I expected to be happy when I saw her, but I wasn't prepared for the total deja vu experience. She is so much like her mum, my daughter, I was taken back 22 years to the day Claire was born. It was weird, my eldest grandson is very much like his uncle but I didn't get that feeling with him.
Adrian is very close to his grandad, so I must admit I'm hoping Jennifer will become my little sidekick! I sat and cuddled her while Claire went off for a ciggie, time seemed to stand still for me as I watched her face, counted her fingers and breathed in that gorgeous new baby smell.
I'm sure this little girl will have a lot of love around her, I sat and watched mummy and daddy together with her, they looked so full of joy I almost expected to hear angelic music!
Welcome to the world Jennifer, I hope you enjoy it.
