It's a boy!

It's a boy!

Welcome Sweet Baby Tate!
(Some Odd Girl--Baby Snuggle Kaylee; Papertrey Ink sentiment;
MFT onesie/duckie dies)


Yay, our grandson's finally here!  Tate was born on November 18, 2011, 1:57 pm., 6 lbs. 9 ozs, 20.5 inches, and is the cutest most precious baby you ever did see!  Ah, well, that's proud grandma talking of course, hee hee.   It was a very long and hard delivery for my DIL, but we are so thankful that baby is healthy and strong and with some healing time, mother will be just fine too.  What a blessing, we're all as happy and proud as can be!

 Here is Tate enjoying his first shower

ahhhh...
he is sooo precious!

Thanks for visiting me and for all your support and well wishes throughout the long 9 months!  My crafting/blogging days will not be as often as it was before but I'll try to visit you as often as I can.  Take care and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Oh Shirley, you are so lucky to have a fine healthy grandson! You did a lovely job on the card and treat bags. Helping to raise a grandchild will be challenging but well worth the effort. Don't be a stranger to blogland.

CONGRATULATIONS, Grandma Shirley! I'll bet you'll love hearing that, huh? Tate is adorable and he's actually smiling during his bath--so kawaii!!

I hope you don't spoil him too much, but how can you resist? A firstborn is always spoiled!

Your hospital treats and card are awesome! I hope you'll still manage to sneak in some cards and projects in between Tate's naps. Take good care, Shirley, and give Tate an extra hug from me! ♥

Congratulations Shirley!!
A beautiful baby boy, a Grandson for Nana to spoil ha!
All babies are gorgeous, so sweet and snuggly but I do love baby boys (though now mine is 17 he is turning my hair grey!)
My boy adores his Nana..they have a mutual appreciation thing going on..and his Nana still spoils him!
What a lovely gift for all your family.
