Grandma Connie Visits

Teo's Grandma Connie is here in SoBur, visiting with her only grandson. (When you're truly GOLDEN, only one is needed; any more is just overkill and pretentious - or needy or something.)
Anyways - needless to say, she is absolutely fawning over her little buddy. It's great to hear her sing and talk to him constantly, much like I remember her doing with me when I was about his age, with MY GIANT BRAIN being stimulated by her dulcet tones.
She's been having a great visit, and it is also been great and helpful for us (Candice and me). We even tried to go out for a quick bite to eat, thinking that if he was fed, we could leave him with Grandma and we could run out the door and have at least an hour to ourselves to enjoy a meal at a nearby restaurant (great burgers), but no sooner did we get our food, and literally seconds after I looked at my cell phone to see that no one had yet called, did the phone ring and were told he was screaming his little lungs out. Of course we expected him to be sound asleep when we got home, but being the considerate baby that he is, he was still screaming.
As Grandma C will attest, he is changing rapidly, with his little face filling out rapidly, his body seemingly growing LONGER by the day, his hair is a bit darker, and he now has little eyebrows and beautiful curly little eyelashes. Amazing to watch.
On Friday, Teo celebrated his 2-week-old birthday. After singing Happy Birthday, we took him down to the local tattoo parlor and all got matching "Teo Rocks!" tattoos.
Yesterday (Sunday), the whole family (Teo, Can, Tan, Gil and Connie) went down to Marina del Rey to get our family photos taken by the same woman who did our maternity pics (and our wedding pics). We were a little worried about the long drive for Teo, but he slept a good part of the way there, and all the way back.
The shoot went really well, not knowing how Teo would react to flashing lights and being bandied about like a little prop. But he did great, save for a few crying bouts that he had totally earned and was entitled to. As soon as we get the disc, we'll post a couple of the best images here. And I think there are some really GREAT ones, too. Please stay tuned.
