    Hug and kiss baby too! She’s beautiful!

  2. McB on August 6th, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    Absolutely must hold baby now. And nibble on earlobes, too.

  3. glee on August 6th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

    envy, envy, envy — how lucky you all are!

  4. me on August 6th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

    Awwwwwww.
    I want to hold her too.

  5. GatorPerson on August 6th, 2008 at 4:04 pm

    I’m a sucker for blue-eyed blondes.

  6. CC on August 6th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    I promise I won’t drop her if you want to hand her here. And I’ll only nibble the toes on the left foot, or the right, your preference.

    THAT’s the baby who almost ended up with little horse booties…however I had to think twice when it came to BobEx delivering them. I figured they might end up in a ditch on the highway out of town. I thought Daschound soxs were pushing the envelope…

    Very nice baby.

  8. Jill on August 6th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    Awww

  9. WapakGram on August 6th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    So thrilled that you are there and getting some baby love in. There is nothing better in the world.

    Mollie has a beauty on her hands!

  10. colognegrrl on August 6th, 2008 at 5:05 pm

    She definitely looks like a muse. You must be sooo delighted!

  11. Chelle on August 6th, 2008 at 5:13 pm

    Awwwww, what a cute baby!!!!

    Big big hugs to Callie and Molly, et.al.

    And of course the proud Gramma. :-)

  12. Bob on August 6th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

    Yes.

  13. ang on August 6th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

    What a doll! Definitely must hold baby now. Enjoy the visit!

  14. sharon w. on August 6th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    Aah, she’s a sweet one. Enjoy. Enjoy. She looks she’s getting her personality, and what a wide-eyed joy. Lots of hugs all around.

  15. orangehands on August 6th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

    Adorable. Have fun hugging the sweetheart.

  16. Sharyn on August 6th, 2008 at 6:23 pm

    She looks like she’ll give you a run for your money, Grandma! Enjoy!

  17. MJ on August 6th, 2008 at 6:42 pm

    Perfect lighting. Perfect expression. Perfect baby!

  18. Jenifer on August 6th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

    Yes, she is. And of course you must.

  19. Sheri on August 6th, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    Awwww–how I miss that wonderful baby-smell. Sniff her head a few times for me, ok? She reminds me of my oldest daughter at that age… and yes, I believe she resembles her grandmama! Enjoy your visit–they change so much so fast over the first year.

  20. Libby on August 6th, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    Awwww! Thanks for sharing such a special moment with us.

  21. robena grant on August 6th, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    Well, no wonder you’ve been quiet on the blog lately. Babies take precedence, especially grand babies.
    Callie is absolutely gorgeous. What a sweet face and that tiny whisp of hair on top that is so wanting to be a curl. Sigh. You can tell I’m a should-be-a-grandma but not.

  22. talpianna on August 6th, 2008 at 8:11 pm

    I hate to rain on the baby parade, and she’s indeed adorable–but does anyone else notice a suspicious resemblance to John McCain?

    Perhaps it’s simply what Winston Churchill said: “Madam, ALL babies look like me!”

  23. Moth on August 6th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    What a doll! She’s so cute.

  24. ajay on August 6th, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    So jealous! I want to hold her and take her home. Jenny, you are a lucky lady.

  25. Mary Stella on August 6th, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    Gorgeous little girl. Enjoy, Grandma!

  26. Louis on August 6th, 2008 at 10:12 pm

    Awwww!

    Cute beyond words!

  27. S on August 6th, 2008 at 10:17 pm

    She’s lovely. Enjoy!!!

  28. Karen Templeton on August 6th, 2008 at 10:48 pm

    Wanna set up an arranged marriage now? ‘Cuz I know an adorable, blue-eyed blond 1 y.o. boy who’d be absolutely perfect for Callie.

    He sings, dances, love opera and already “drives” the Wii wheel…

    Go. Absorb gorgeous sweetness. She’ll be asking grandma for money to buy her first car before you know it. ;-)

  29. Kate on August 7th, 2008 at 5:56 am

    Thanks for sharing! She is adorable…give her a hug from me. Enjoy!

  30. Caryle on August 7th, 2008 at 7:33 am

    She is absolutely adorable! Have fun loving the baby. :)

  31. Susan D on August 7th, 2008 at 8:30 am

    Totally, absolutely, without doubt the third most adorable grandchild on the planet.

  32. jackie on August 7th, 2008 at 9:04 am

    I was wondering how long you would hold out before heading off to visit with the brand new grandchild. She’s beautiful and bright and wonderful. But you knew that already. Have fun, all of you. Make sure you chase off the parents for a little rest and personnal time for themselves. The sooner they all know it can be done safely, the better. I know you’ll be a great grandmother - have fun spoiling little Callie - it’s your job.

  33. Office Wench Cherry on August 7th, 2008 at 9:29 am

    She is beautiful. The blog silence is perfectly understandable. Actually, if you were blogging instead of snuggling that gorgeous little girl we would insist you get your head examined.

  34. LtL on August 7th, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    You are a very composed and restrained Grandma. When my first was born, I cut the cord for her. No way could I have waited weeks and weeks to see her, or to take care of DD. Didn’t notice anyone mentioning Callie’s dad, but he’s got some buttons to pop, too. Way to go, Callie’s dad.

    She’s a cutie, for sure. While we’re telling her how lovely she is, we need to keep reminding her also of how smart and kind and creative and beloved she is. Tell her that all the time. All the time. Write to her.

  35. Patrice on August 7th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

    Perfection!

    Mesmerized by Grandma’s eyes.

  36. ArkansasCyndi on August 7th, 2008 at 5:31 pm

    Beautiful! :)

  37. Mariah on August 7th, 2008 at 6:03 pm

    Whoa, that new baby smell hit me all the way over here.

    That is one yummy baby.

  38. DownUnderGal on August 7th, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    Awww. There’s just something about a baby…

  39. rss on August 8th, 2008 at 2:10 pm

    What an angel.

  40. Jenny on August 9th, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    I tell her she’s beautiful and good at math. Mollie looks at me and says, “She’s seven weeks old.” I say, “Yes but she’s GOING TO BE good at math.” Perfect child.

    And I will soon be home again and back to work, but it was a lovely, lovely visit.

  41. BCB on August 9th, 2008 at 7:50 pm

    Probably it’s not too early to tell her she’s a great writer.

    Love those Granny Smith cheeks. What a sweetie.

  42. talpianna on August 9th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    NEWS FLASH: Our Mr. Mayer has been messing around with half of TomKat:

    Bye Bob, Holmes Morphs Into Slop Pixie

  43. Penny on August 10th, 2008 at 5:24 am

    She is a beautiful little girl Jenny. Enjoy. And yes it is your duty to spoil her. And all that ltl said.

  44. Kieran on August 10th, 2008 at 9:59 am

    Absolutely beautiful!!!

  45. jenb on August 10th, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    Alert, focused, contemplative, serene in your arms.
    And beautiful,too.
    A gift to be cherished by all.

  46. WapakGram on August 10th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Jenny, do you think that you could just make this picture part of your permanent blog? It is just so perfect and it makes us so happy! As jenb said, like a gift.
    Congratulations again.
