Grandma Green Visit Recap

Grandma Green came down south to watch Willa for a week while our daycare provider went on vacation to Florida. Nothing real exciting was planned for the visit. Unfortunately, mom visited at a time when there wasn't a home men's basketball game for UNC. Maybe next year she can make the visit be when UNC plays Duke. I think she would enjoy that contest. 

It wasn't Iowa cold but it was a bit chilly for North Carolina. I was hoping that the 60 degree temps from the day of mom's arrival would last for the week. Oh well, Willa and mom got to spend a little bit of time strolling the neighborhood looking for doggies. 

I think Willa's language flourished during mom's visit. Her animal sounds increased from a doggie saying woof, and a cat sorta saying meow to knowing: cat, cow, lion, and duck. My mom tried to get Willa to wiggle her nose for a bunny but somehow that became Willa shrugging her shoulders. Thankfully, that bunny impersonation has been forgotten by Willa. It was a nice try mom. 

Willa also went from being a 80% knee walker/15% crawler/5% walker to 75% walker/15% knee walker/10% crawler. The switch flipped on Friday and it caught us all by surprise. Suddenly Willa was  pacing back and forth from the living room to the kitchen. Willa is much sneakier when walking versus the clomping the happens from the knee walking. 

We didn't take a lot of pictures and I don't think the camera came out until the morning of my mom's return flight. I am happy I managed to catch the goodbye kiss and hug.  Come back soon Grandma Green!
