When was your grandchild born?
October 24, 2009
How big was your grandchild when he arrived?
7 lbs 15 oz 19 1/2 in
How excited were you about being a grandmother when your daughter told you she was pregnant?
I was so excited because we were hoping for a girl but when she surprised us with a card that had the ultra sound picture proving it was a boy and saying “You are now grandparents of a baby boy” we were equally excited because our family lost our son Michael 9 years ago and now we have a little Michael to fill that hole in our heart and we all know our Michael is looking down on Baby Michael with a Big Smile.
What is the best part of being a grandmother?
All the hugs and kisses I get to give him daily because he only lives a few blocks away.
If you could give another grandma a tip, what would it be?
At times I need to take a step back and let my daughter take control as Michael is her son but I am always available to answer questions or to help her in any way I can.
Did you throw a baby shower for your daughter? If so, what theme did you use?
We used Modern Baby Boy. It was so much fun, we had the diaper cake, tableware, candle tins and body butter favors. We also played the download games which even the guys had fun playing. Oh and of course New Daddy “Casey” wore his Daddy Diaper Duty Device proudly.
What is your grandchild’s favorite toy or activity?
Bottle full of milk! Michael loves to mimic what you are doing and then he smiles.
What is your favorite thing to do with your grandchild?
Give him a bath, he enjoys it and then loves to cuddle in his “Monkey” hooded towel.
What is your favorite product on SimplyBabyStuff.com and why?
I love the theme page. You can choose whichever theme fits your needs and they have everything you need in that theme to throw a fabulous shower. I also love the Monkey Boy theme. We used the Monkey Boy theme for a baby announcement because my daughter always called Michael her little monkey before he was born.
Anything else you want to share about being a Grandma?
I do love my children but being a Grandma I can spoil my grandson so much more and I have more time to spend with him. He has my complete attention and just maybe he has Grandma wrapped around his little finger!
