Our sweet baby granddaughter "J" was born yesterday! This photo was taken just moments after she was born. Yes, she came into this world very alert and with a smile on her face!
Both first time Mommy and baby are doing fine and learning about each other.
Daddy could not be more proud and happy!
Grandpa and Grandma are overwhelmed with joy to have their third grandchild and first granddaughter!
Aunt "V" and Uncle "V" and cousins "L" and "M" were excited and happy to meet their first niece/cousin! It was also my son's birthday -- he made me a mother for the first time the same day, over 30 years before, and we celebrated by singing "happy birthday" and enjoying cupcakes!
Through all the excitement sweet baby"J" slept!
Welcome to the world dear granddaughter!
You are a gift from God and a blessing to us. You have made your parents a family and you will be loved and cherished by us all! We can't wait to watch you grow and become the person God placed you here to be. May your life be long, and full of love and joy!

I spent a couple of days this past week up in West Sacramento with my son, daughter-in-law, and two granddogs. It is most exciting to see Laura, with only 2 1/2 months left of her pregnancy, finally sporting a baby bump. She's only gained 16 pounds to date so, for the longest time, you couldn't tell I was going to have my first grandchild pretty soon. I am so excited.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter and son-in-law on granddaughter, "J" - and to the whole family.
A beautiful bundle of joy! Congratulations, Pat.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Congratulations! She's adorable and everybody looks so happy, including baby.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
