Talking It's a boy!!!

I am so pleased to announce that my beautiful grandson, Aaron Thomas, was born July 23, 2009 at 3:49 pm. He came out beautiful (of course), weighing in at 9 lbs. 4 oz., 21 inches long with a FULL head of hair.

Mother and child are doing super -- he's already beginning to focus on faces and sounds and holding his head up (prefers to lay on his tummy and peer at the world like a mini-ostrich).

For those who know me, please don't have a heart attack because I'm gushing about Aaron -- just say I told you so when you see me. I'll accept it graciously.

If I can ever find the time, I'll post some pics.

Default Alright! Great news! Congratulations.

Yeah. I knew you had some grandmother hormones floating around in there. Now you can make a fool of yourself just like the rest of us. Do you want to see the latest pictures of Graylyn and Colin? Did I tell you Graylyn is on the deans list?

Sincerely, and all kidding aside Red, Best wishes for health and happiness for all of you, Congratulations to Aaron for choosing such a nice family and he sure is a big guy.........He should be walking by next week...and I love to see pictures of my friends grandchildren.

Take some pictures.

Hugs to all.

Congratulations on the birth of your Grandson! You have the right to "gush" all you want. That is part of Grandma's job-- in addition to loving them and spoiling them rotten.

Nothing wrong with gushing! Glad to here that all is well and he is healthy (there is really nothing else that is important). You know I wish all of you the very best. Spoil him rotten- it's what being a grandma is all about!!! ---Colleen

Congratulations Redwitch on the birth of your grandson Aaron Thomas!!
Your heart must be filled with so much joy and love!!
I have a sister in law who is never wrong, she is a few years ahead of me and always gave me little tips here and there about what to expect in mothering etc. She knows what a mush I am concerning my son, worrying, loving, spoiling lol etc. And she has told me that "if you think you love and worry about your son....just wait till you have a grandchild...its a feeling that I cant even describe"! So I am really looking forward to that experience too, minus the worrying part lol. Enjoy your beautiful new grandson!

P.S. Islandgal, I laughed so hard at your post, because that was exactly what I was thinking lol "being christened with a shot while changing diapers" lol...happened to me many many times hehe!!
