My daughter inlaw and son had an 8lb. 4oz...21.5" long son...it's my first grandbaby and boy is it a cool feeling....he's beautiful...smart, strong, and a cowman to boot...
Congratulations! Since this is a first, and if they don't already have it, go to a good bookstore and buy the book Becoming Baby Wise. I can almost guarantee you they will thank you for it - especially if they value their sleep.
hadn't had him out yet...he's 3 days old...his mama and daddy said "rule 1..cant ride in the truck with grandpa..i said" That's OK, I 'll let him drive..."
so far he's got boots, hat, wagon, and a bib that says "I love my grandpa"
Congratulations. I can feel your excitement and rightfully so. I guarantee you from my experience that each new one will be as exciting as the first. It never gets old. Grandchildren are the greatest blessing anyone could have.
