Raising Grampy – Chapter 15

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy.

I have lots of toys but I really like his shoelaces.

I don’t know what’s going on at my house but my mommy and daddy seem to be changing everything. They put these things on all the outlets.

And this stuff is now all around the coffee table.

They say it’s to protect my head. I bumped my head on the dining room chair the other day and, you may not know this, but that was a big ouchy! I would recommend you don’t do that.

They hid the remote, took everything off the coffee table and moved the lamp.

Yes! I am on the move! And pretty fast too!

Yoda is my friend.

So yeah, they are baby-proofing the house. I look at it as more of a challenge! My mommy says I keep her busy all day.

I’m starting my own band. Maybe I can help my Uncle Matt with his songs!

I also help my Grampy with his other blogs.

Grampy says not to worry about his funny shoe. He has a boo boo foot but he says it’s not too bad.

I still go to where Grampy is staying once or twice a week. That’s the only place I go since mommy and daddy started staying home more. I don’t know why. They do wear a mask sometimes when they go out so maybe everybody else smells really bad. Maybe that’s why I don’t go. I don’t have a mask.

Grampy was laughing the other day because he gave me all kinds of toys to play with….

….but I kept crawling over to try and climb the wall.

Then I wondered what Roscoe was doing.

That gave me a great idea that Grampy helped me with later that day.

That made my mommy happy and I like to make mommy happy because she says there have been some grumpy people going to the bank. I don’t know why people are grumpy at the bank. It’s like a money store isn’t it?

So yeah I’ve had a busy week crawling and exploring. I still like hanging with my Grampy, playing with toys and reading stories.

I tried to read “The Pirate Queen” with my feet but Grampy did a much better job. And he makes lots of silly sounds too, especially when he tries to stand up.


“Raising Grampy” is the world through the eyes of Liam who is 7-months old. Liam lives in Virginia Beach with his mommy and daddy. Pete is currently there as the Grampnanny.

    Hi Liam,
    Looks like you are keeping everyone on their toes !! that must be a little bit of an issue for Grampy though, even with his stylish boot ! Fortunately you have many people, dogs and toys to have fun with every day . :>)
