He's a big little guy, isn't he? ;)

Congratulations to you and yours! :toast:

Yes, he is a big little guy!

The funny thing is, my daughter (his mom!) was herself big...She weighed in at 10 pounds, 6 ounces! Whew...

And she didn't think her son would be this big!

Well, Grandma knows a thing or two about that...;)

Thank you so much, sweetie! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear krispos42...

Oh, I hear you...

He is amazing!

Where on earth do they come from?

:hug:

[DarkTirade]

29. 10 pounds, huh. That's a big baby.

I was somewhere around that weight... and after my mother's first birth had gone so easily she had decided to have me at home, with just a midwife there and no drugs.

Needless to say, she found a middle ground when she had my little sister. :) She had a midwife AND drugs.

Hey, is he still a scorpio this far into November? If so, he seems to be in good company because I think I've seen more 'It's my birthday' threads in the last month than I have in the previous three or four. Well, whether he's one of us scorpios or not, welcome to the world little guy. We're working to make it a better place for ya. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear DarkTirade!

Yes, he is a big one...

The crazy thing is, my daughter (his mom) was also 10 pounds! And I needed a lot more help getting her out than she did her son!

Thanks for your story...and for the welcome...

We are indeed working to make the world a better place for him...

No wars for my precious grandson, thank you very much!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

:pals:

[Audio_Al]

44. Oh! Another baby with a really gorgeous head! I think he looks like me!

Well, he's younger, I must admit. I hope he has inherited your photographic skills and your way with words, too, California Peggy!

Congratulations to all from Audio Al, your Radio Pal -- and the better half, too, who shall be unmentioned!

[Audio_Al]

46. Name him yet? My wife says he was born on her father's birthday.

That was November 11, 1911. Leonard was handsome, talented, and vigorously political.


Audio Al (2007)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. He certainly does have several names...

But for privacy reasons, those are a secret...

Leonard is a great name, but it's not my grandson's....

[Audio_Al]

59. No problem. Thanks. Leonard was my father-in-law. Samuel was my father.

I just thought you might be willing to share the first name.

Now we have so many grandchildren I don't remember them all at one time!

By the way, there was a child born nearby in Oregon with an unusual given name.

They named him Jesusito. Little Jesus.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. My dear Audio_Al!

Thank you for your kind wishes!

And to your better half as well!

[Der Blaue Engel]

81. My son said to me the other day:

"I can't believe how awful I was when I was a kid. Kids are really annoying and I don't know how you put up with me. I don't think I'm ever going to have any." And then he paused and said, "I mean, unless you want me to or something."

:rofl:

I said, "Not any time soon!"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. What a great story!

You'll have to remind him, after he has some kids of his own!

And I hope he will....at the right time, of course!

On edit, I wanted to post this video in tribute to the new life in your life. I know you love the ocean and waves. I just saw The Waterboys in concert last night in Portland, and I thought this was a beautiful matching of image and song. Also, at the end they sing: "Behold, The Sea" and it reminded me of your comment about your grandson ...

When my son was in high school and was just starting the whole dating thing, I sat him down and told him that ground rule number one was that I'd better look like a grandparent before he makes me one.

His reply?

"Have you looked in the mirror lately, Dad?"

172. Only 5% of first-borns arrive on their predicted due date, so this is one special little guy!

At least, that's the statistic as I remember it, from a long time ago.

Congratulations on this new source of joy in your life!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

202. Thank you so much, my dear hisownpetard!

I was wondering about that statistic! We lucked out!

:hug:

[hisownpetard]

208. And what a bruiser he is, too! 10 lbs. 3 oz? Oof! And I just want to add -

I'm fairly new here, but one of the first things I learned was how loved you are, by so many!!!
So that is one lucky little (or not so little) kid, to have you for his grandma.

That's a big baby. Still, he is so tiny.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

216. My dear greatauntoftriplets...

I thank you...

Yes, compared to any adult, or even to his brother, he is tiny...

And yet the potential for all sorts of growth is there...

And one sweet day, he will be grown up! And we'll marvel at how he's grown...

Life's a miracle...:hug:
