    I am a Grandpa

    My daughter gave birth to my first grand kid. Bailey Erica Alice Risher initials BEAR. 5 pounds 10 oz and 18 inches. Both my daughters had a tiny bit of venison as their first non milk food. I am heading to Wyoming next month for antelope hunting and then to Seattle to see my grand daughter. Looks like BEARs first taste will be antelope.

    Good morning and Congradulations ! That is a special time in life. Our first is headed to college. One day with God's blessing you will also look back over some very good years.

    You thought you would do anything to protect one of your children, with grandchildren this feeling is much more acute, I have 7 now, 4 girls 3 boys.

    Grand kid are the best! As the old saying goes "If I had known how much fun grand childern were I would have started with them first". We have 17 grand kids and 4 great grand kids. It's too bad that most of them are spread all over the country.

    Congrats! Just remember a grandparent is a device so simple a child can operate with ease and they do!

    We had a sign we gave to my dad "More kids are spoiled because you can't spank Grandpa!" Looking forward to my turn.

    Congrats, your daughter is doing well I trust?

    I love the grand babies.Its easy to spoil them (2 of the 5 live w/me so they don't get spoiled so much).
