Way to go Pops! ;)

Congrats, Grandpa. :D

I will actually be going with 'zeyda' instead of 'grandpa'.

Mazel Tov, Zeyda Rich!!

When's the barbeque?

Congratulations!

Bloody marvellous! How exciting *smiles* You look so proud in that pic Rich :)

Congratulations to you and your family!

*passes giant cigar-shaped joint*

Well done for bringing the ankle biter up well enough that they're willing to risk it themselves.
Congrats, you look like a very proud man.

Is Zeyda a title, or a generic word like Grandad?
Are you a Zeyder or the Zeyder?

Congratulations! Best wishes for a happy and healthy babyhood.

Congratulations, rich!

Zen...quit bogartin'

The birth of a grandchild is a Very Good Day.

and I should know!

Congratulations!

Awe... Congratulations!! Grandparenting I'm told is the best! What a little looker you have there!

hey, but you didn't mention the sex or the name, or the birthweight, or how the mother's doing, or anything. (shakes head). Men!

Guys, even guys who have had children, really don't understand the importance of such things.

Congratulations Rich! I loves me some babbies. Watch out for the dingoes.

congrats, Rich!



Zeyda is the Jewish/Yiddish/Hebrew (no offence intented, not sure which is correct) word for Grandpa. I think Grandma is Bubbie, mum is Ema and is dad just Papa? i'm pretty sure these are what i hear the Jewish kids here call their parents and grandparents.

Awesome! Congratulations Rich.

I wonder if your doppleganger had one as well?

Let's see.
The mother is doing fine and checked out of the hospital today.
Name: Nolan
Birthweight 8lbs 3oz
Size 21 inches

Sex....Guess!;)

Enjoy it!

Look at his fuckin balls

dumb question

Adorable. Your son makes fine sons.

Congrats to Mom, Dad, and both sets of grandparents.

What was your other son's response to becoming an uncle?

Nice big babbie!

So very cute, Rich. Congratulations!

Ta, Monster.

OMG - I laughed so much at UT's post that my Mum stuck her head round the door and asked to be let in on the joke. It didn't tickle her fancy. She just smiled and said, "They're as wicked as you."

I didn't go into the layered thing with the cat balls. She laughs at the rainbow/ kitten/ puppy emails.

Awesome Rich! Congratulations.

Oh, many, many years ago
When I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter
Though it really brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy

This little baby then became
A brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
Then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
WHo of course is my step-mother

Chorus
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife
She's my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother
Then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandma
I am my own grandpa

Here's a picture of Nolan taken about a week ago when he was almost 5 months old.

Wow! Now I really want to have another one.

Well, I was going to post a picture of Nolan crying to remind you of the downside, but I just couldn't do it.;)

Here's another cute one.

AAAGGHH! Adorable!

Why babba, what big EYES you got!
All the better to control you with my dear....

Handsome chap.
