Pineapple Boy

Beck watching the Dancing Pineapple

 We completed a pleasantly uneventful road trip to Maryland. Yesterday, the traffic was so smooth that we arrived in Elkridge sooner than Apple Maps predicted even with two bio stops. That was due to traffic clearing as the morning rush dissipated, but this was a definite change from other trips where we sit in traffic and watch our predicted arrival time move later and later. 

Chris and I spent a last evening with our youngest grandchild and, of course, his mom and dad. We were lucky to be able to synch up with them to reconnect. 

Beck, our youngest grandchild, has grown a lot since our last visit two months ago and is closing in on 7 months old! He is a beautiful, alert, inquisitive boy. 

He also likes a dancing pineapple animation and the associated music. I thought the funniest thing he did was use his hands to clap his feet together while lying on his back. He likes to be held and interact with people, but he also plays with his age-appropriate toys. The entire duration of our visit Beck was a very happy baby--which made the visit that much more enjoyable. 

We are looking forward to seeing Beck a couple more times during our visit. And his parents, too!
