Hi....  !  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!  :-D

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. :thumbsup: :)

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.:')
