New Grandson Alert!

[PamRN 0]

I've been very busy this last few weeks, and haven't been able to visit here, and now it's taking me hours to catch back up with you all!

My daughter and son-in-law just gave birth to my first grandson, Dylan Riley on Tuesday November 30th. He was 7 pounds, 20 inches, and beautiful. :Bunny His skin is gorgeous, warm peaches and cream.

From the moment he was born he's been calm. As soon as his head was born he opened his eyes and started looking around. He's been alert and observant ever since. He's only cried when he's hungry. If we can call the sweet little mew's he makes a cry.

We've been busy painting and carpeting and preparing for the baby at the new house they bought, trying to get it all done before he got here... we were finishing up while they were in the hospital, but we got it done!

Now we're going to follow Penni's tradition and have a tree trimming shower

My SOL bless his hard working heart, fell off a roof a month ago while working, and crushed both his heels. He'll be off work for a couple of months, and has lots of pain, but he's being SUCH a trooper. He wouldn't leave my daughter's side, slept in a hard old chair for two nights... even though his feet were killing him and he really needed to be in a bed with them propped up.

He's realizing now what a blessing that fall is. He gets to be with his wife and new son 24/7 for a while. Before the fall, he worked all day, then worked on their house or a side job til bedtime trying to get ready for his new baby.

Now they can relax and enjoy the baby and each other... Unless I steal him... with the SOL gimped out, and the Dtr too sore to run, they couldn't catch me... unless the SOL happens to be in his wheelchair....

Then it will be "grandma got run over by a wheelchair, running home from our house christmas eve" :bandit

Pam,

Thats great news. Is it your first grandchild??

My wife and I found out two weeks ago that in this coming July we are going to be first time grandparents. We all excited here too.

Your grandchild was the same birthweight and lenght as I was. My problem was the height stopped before the weight did. you see I never thought I was to heavy just to damn short. 7'2" and my height and weight would have been in line. Oh well.

Wish your sol the best on them their heels.

Thank you all for the kind recognitions. Babies really are the best there is in life. I've already been spoiling him rotten, before he even got here. With the discounts I've been finding on ebay, I've nearly filled his nursery already. He's definitely a keeper, bless his sweet-smelling lil self. I'm attempting to upload a small pic of him. I have more on a regular camera that I'm going to get developed this week.
