Girl, this is so funny -- just earlier today I was thinking "Where's La Wumpette these days -- I bet he just became a grandfather and that's why he's not around"... and alas I was correct.

I'm so happy for you! Congrats.

Much congrats!  Like bocker said, grandkids are made to be spoiled.  I'll be spending this Saturday with my oldest granddaughter, helping her celebrate her birthday (filling her full of sugary treats, and buying shit just because).  Have fun!

Yes, we have a wittle waby wumpy :) and it looks like she is fixing to punch me because I wouldnt put her down. Momma kept saying "Can I hold her now" lol.

I decided I REALLY like Grandbabies because it's all fun and no work, whenever she started crying or started "smelling" I would just hand her over to momma. It's really a sweet gig I got.

That's what I'm looking forward to myself. I just hope that when my daughter decides to start having children, that she's living on the Rock again. She's home for a few days this month, but then has to return to Lowestoft in England to begin her teaching career. I miss her - she was just in Norwich for a year to get her teaching degree. I'll be bummed if she starts a family so far away.


She's so tiny! I can hardly remember when mine was that small (24 years ago!!!) - she was nearly the same size at birth, 7lbs, 11oz. The dress and tiny little cardigan are just adorable - and so is she.
