A picture of Mommy and Daddy (of course), new Aunt, baby cousin, Grandpa and a picture of Grandma. This was the list of up-close face pictures I took to fill a sweet, soft vinyl book I sent to our son and daughter-in-law even before little Asher was born. I learned very clearly the impact of a loved one’s picture for a new baby with our first grandson, Seth.Our first grandson got to meet his daddy at age two weeks, for a two week leave from a mountain top in Afghanistan where he served in the US Army. He had his second introduction to his daddy at nine months. A lot had changed in those many months of growing: from sleeping much of the day, to rolling over, making those adorable baby sounds, to eating his first cereal, to sitting up in his bath, through several sizes of diapers and through many pictures to mark the growth and the special moments of those first months.
