My husband and I were just talking about every time his dad sees Bo he places his hat on his head and says "Look who is wearing grandpa's hat". It is huge on him; FIL gets a kick out of it. I just think it is funny that every.single.time he sees Bo he does this! We have a gazillion pictures of it!
My dad will get in Bo's face and baby talk "uuggaabuuugggaa" and blow his coffee breath in the baby's face. Bo loves it!
Re: Odd but cute things grandparents do with LO
My mother is very in to all things Polish. My niece, her oldest grandchild was "the Pupie" (not poop-ie...can't figure out how to translate pronunciation here). Since my daughter is the second grandchild, she is "the Pupa". My father, who is known to make up words (nafgan - afghan, buffeT -buffet) insists on calling her the same, Pupies, as my niece. Every single effing time, my mother corrects him as if he doesn't know. And out of the corner of his eye, he always gives me a wink.
My father in law, who is certifiably insane, but very warm hearted, pretty much only tells A he is going to steal her thumb (she's a thumbsucker). 8 months, and all the man has said is he's going to steal her #1 object of comfort. That should bode well for their future relationship.
Haha! Both of these made me laugh out loud! "Don't take my thumb"! "Stay out of [my] pockets"!!
Linz, you sneaky little kid you!
