Grandma goes in and out of responding to people. She's generally sleepy midday, so I didn't have much hope for her to even be awake. She was bent up in her wheelchair, like she does when she's sleeping, but her eyes were open, not wide, but still open. Ashley put the baby seat right next to Grandma on the floor, and Grandma's eyes just opened up. She kept just looking at her, and mumbling. She's not a loud talker, anymore, if she's going to talk at all, you really have to listen. Anyways, I caught that she was saying "Baby" and just looking at her. While the rest of us (Darlene, Terri, Erikka, Ashley, me) were chatting, I noticed that Grandma was reaching for the baby. To have her aware is such an amazing thing, but to have her trying to touch her was really neat. So, Ashley and Darlene held up her chair and she held her hand and just kept her hand on her. After they put the chair down, she put her hand on the handle, and I helped her rock her for a while. It was so cute, and brought tears to my eyes!
Five generations... amazing!
