First Grandchild

Born on Jan. 23rd weighing in at 6 lb. 5 oz. and 21" long, Caleb Thomas. Needless to say, Grandpa has been in very good character this week.

His dark hair will likely turn to blonde before he’s even 6 months old, like his mother’s did. He’s liable to have the same genetic disorder that his aunt and uncles have since his mom is a carrier, but we’re pretty well ready for that. He might also grow up without knowing his father (he has issues), but this grandpa won’t let that keep him from having a good father figure.

I told my daughter that she should have him ready to sit on granpa’s lap between the hours of 5:00 pm when I get cleaned up from work, and 8:30 pm when I get ready for bed. Everyone else will have to divide the remaining hours for themselves, as long as it doesn’t delay my established schedule. :smiley: :!:

:wink:

Congratulations Grandpa :!: I would not be the least bit surprised if your schedule changes and you are up later than 8:30. :smiley:

Congratulations!! Grandparents are very, very important, and special, in a child’s life. You will be the finest example of what a man, a father, is supposed to be. I am so happy for you! :smiley:
