Hi....jpmurph1 ! Congratulations on the birth of your first granddaughter Chloe. As a grandfather myself, I know exactly what you mean about wanting to brag about it and how it makes me feel. My granddaughter is 8 years old and nothing puts a smile on my face quite like she does...good thing is...the feeling will always stay with you! Congrats again !

Grand children is like Love doubled over. I have 2 grand daughters Hannah will be 3 and Hayden almost 1. They put smiles on my face every time I see them..which is often since we live 5 miles away. There is nothing better. I LOVE being a grandma!! Congratulations on this amazing journey. Don't blink....

You know why grandkids and grandparents cotton so much to each other?
They have a common enemy! ![]()

I have four grandchildren, and while the birth of the first was real special - awesome, in fact - that very special feeling was there for the other three, just the same as the first time.... it never goes away.
Conrats on your first, it's great news.

Congrats, They are right, there is nothing like the first one. I think that is always a special bond. I have 7, ages 1-17, hell at both ends now.![]()
