MR

Some of y'all requested that I give an update when my first grandchild was born....
...I've been real busy with family and finishing a mural I'm painting in the baby's room....and the weather has been rough around here for a couple days but I've finally gotten a chance to upload a few pic's and make the announcement.

My son and daughter in law have given me the greatest gift ever......a beautiful baby girl!
She was born the 7th and weighed in at 7lbs 6 oz. and 19 1/4 in. long....she's very alert and holds her head up already!
I love her so much...and being a grandma is GREAT!

Congratulations Phyllis. You look like a happy Grandma in the pic. I'm very happy for you. Your granddaughter is beautiful.

How cherubic!

What a cutie!!

Thanks, Rick! I had just driven 12 and 1/2 hours through the night to get here for her birth so I was a mess in that pic...but who cares....it's the first time I held her and I was thrilled! Yep, very happy....and everyone's been saying what a beauty she is. They named her Zaria...which is a Russian name meaning "goddess of beauty" so it apply suits her.

Wow, so precious. Get all the pics you can to freeze the moment.

You don't look old enough to be a gramma, P.

May God Bless you, your daughter, and the little one!

awe.......thats sweet of you to say ...I'm 48...old enough to be grandma and still young enough to hopefully keep up with her and teach her a few things as she grows.....for one thing I plan on taking her scuba diving as soon as she's old enough ....well..I won't force her to go..only if she wants to.

Thank you, Daniel! God bless you and your son as well.

I so love unique names......beautiful!
That's the first time I've seen this name.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone! ...and for allowing the indulgence...couldn't resist showing her off a little....I'll probably turn into one of those woman who carry whole photo albums in their purses and say "want to see pic's of my grandchild?" ..to everyone they meet.

indeed, a little goddess!!!
glowingly pretty...Congratulations to the parents and to the more prouder Gramma

Better than buying 15 cans of cat food like the lady I saw at the market today.

Congratulations on the baby.

no...no chance of that happening...don't have a cat...I'm allergic to cats. I buy large bags of dog food for my collie, though.....don't know what that indicates.....that I can still lift and carry 20 to 50 lbs?....well...don't know how much longer but I still can at this point. .......thanks

Congratulations, Blueskies!
I agree you have been given the "greatest gift" of a cute little angel!
I'm happy for your entire family!
