How about your fav pics of your babies with YOUR parents?

[papal]

Since i am missing my Dad so much, how about we share pics of our babies with our parents? That would be fun to see!

Here is my fav pic of my mom and a colicky dd at 2 months old. The evening hours were long and so tough!!! Pics with my dad are still to be devloped.

Rashmi,

Just for you, I'm breaking my rule about NEVER posting in the Lounge, and never posting pics.

My father and Neel - with Neel's first popsicle this past June.

Thanks Nita! That is such a sweet picture... brought tears to my eyes. Your dad reminds me of my dad.. can't wait for Leela to be old enough to sit on a bench like that and calmly eat a popsicle... so cute.

Oh Nita!! I want to see!!! Can you reattach it as a JPG file pretty please!!!! And thanks for breaking your rule for me!!

Here's my mom and Sean on Easter, waiting in the parking lot to run into the restaurant where we had dinner. :)

How cute is little bunny Sean!! What a great picture!

[cinrein]

Rashmi, that is a great pic. We used to spend our cranky-crank hours in the dark livingroom, which is about the most use that room ever got. Every time I go in there now I think back to those desperate crying hours with infant Anna, only now I kind of think of it fondly (how sick, I know).

I have a really nice one of my Mom and Anna, but it's at home and I'm at work today. :(

Rashmi.. your mom is beautiful.. and looks so young! I'm so sorry you are missing your dad.. I know how sad it is.

Here's a favorite of my daughter and my dad.. even more special b/c I think (and so does everyone else) that she looks just like him.. but it's hard to tell in this picture

Rashmi -
5 pics for you!!! 2 of Santiago w/ my mom (can you tell which is a baptism photo?), 1 w/ my grandmother (DS's great-grandmother), 1 w/ my dad, and one of my parents having fun at the babyshower (this is my one of my favorite pictures of them).
Hope you're feeling better!

Jaquelyn! I would love to see your picture.. can you reattach it and choose JPG as the format.. my browser does not convert the TXT into pics. :(

[papal]

Awww.. that is SUCH a great picture Mary!! Goodness, how much Lane has grown.. I can't believe he used to be so teeny tiny! And I think we have the same jammies.. did they have a giraffe in the front?

[papal]

Great pics Lydia! Your mom looks so young! that pic with your grandmom is so precious!

[amp]

Cute idea Rashmi! I look forward to seeing pics of Leela with her grandfather (or whatever your family calls him). Your mom is beautiful!

Here is one of Jake in the hospital with both sets of grandparents. My parents are on the left (when looking at the pic)(my mom is primarily holding Jacob). My IL's on your right.

That picture is awesome, Rashmi!

Here are some pics of Ellie with my dad & mom while we were in Indiana in May/June. Gosh I miss Steak n' Shake!

Rashmi:

What a great idea. I love the picture of your mom and Leela. And all the other grandparent pictures!

I'm attaching a Shutterfly link of a few since I'm at work. Grandma and Grandpa are DH's parents and Nana and Poppy are mine. I also put in a picture of Mia with my dear Gramma, who just passed away in June of this year. She was Mia's only great-grandparent.

What a sweet thread idea!

I don't have many pictures of DS with my mom (ooh, need to take more), but I do have a favorite one of DS with my father-in-law.

[khakismom]

You come up with the BEST thread ideas Rashmi! :) All these pictures are wonderful!

Here is Kathleen with my parents, with the doll they had just bought her in Mexico. Still a favorite doll, and a favorite picture of mine.

This is my dad--the ultimate hands-on Papa--with Kathleen.

It's my first time posting a picture so I hope it works!

Well my mom would kill me if she knew I was posting pictures of her but since you can't really see her face I will anyway. :)

Oh, Rashmi! I know the days of a colicky baby well (DS#1 was colicky big time!).

This is fun--here are some of my pix: the first is of Jack as a baby with my dad, mom, and her "baby," her cocker spaniel Gatsby. The next is Joshua with my parents and brother at his bris. The last is Jack as a baby with MY grandmother, his great grandma whom he calls "Grandie"

Great idea!

Here's my favorite pic of my mom with John as a newborn...

And here is my dad holding him for the first time, we had just gotten home from the hospital as a matter of fact...

What a great idea!

Sorry they are so HUGE. I can't make them smaller and still appear. One is of my mom and Sarah last fall and the other is of Sarah with her great grandma in May.

Now I want to cry because my dearest mom and dad will never get to know my DD. And they dreamed about becoming grandparents so bad. Sorry I don't want to be a party-pooper, I just miss them so much. :-(

[lmintzer]

Ana,
I just read your post and got really sad for you. I'm so sorry! I know you will tell your little one all about them and show their pictures so they will still feel a part of your lives. But I can see why this post would be really hard for someone who lost her parents. I'm sure (in whatever way you believe this) they are looking down on you and your child very lovingly.

(edited to fix typo)

I am sorry Ana! I can't imagine how you must feel.

Great idea for a thread Rashmi,

Unfortunately it's just my mom left but here's a few pics of her and ds. Also, my dad's widow (stepmom) with AJ a month before his first bday.

I don't have my favorite on disk but here is the runner up! This is my Dad and Matthew, Christmas 2003.

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/10322.jpg

This photo was taken of my parents and Matthew when he was less than 2 weeks old. My Mom would die if she knew I was posting a picture of her with all her gray hair showing! (she usually dyes it)

Here's Sydney this past Christmas at 8 months with my mom. She's practicing those teenage games you play at parties. Yikes!

I don't have a decent picture available of the grandparents with Sage, but I do have the next best thing. Below is a picture of Sage with his "Nana" - his home care provider. She's a beautiful lady that has become my surrogate grandma and Sage's beloved great-grandma. I took this picture the morning of his first day with her. I just love it because he seems to be looking at her thinking, "I think I'm going to like her". To me it symbolizes the start of our wonderful relationship with her. I'll always treasure the photo - and our Nana.

I love this thread, seeing all the grandparents and babes. I peed my pants when I got this picture back of Meg at about 4 weeks with my parents who flew over to meet her.

Holly - you look so much like your dad! I think Mia looks like your mama, too!

[tarahsolazy]

I just got water up my nose, that it hilarious! I can't stop laughing! Keep that one as blackmail for Meg later.
