At 0730ish this morning my granddaughter Millie Jane Baker was born. 55cm long and a touch over 4kg (size of a nice snapper )

Mum and bub doing well.

Fantastic news mate!

Best wishes to all the family!

Thanks Saeed, I'm going home this weekend for two weeks so they should be out of the hospital by the time I get home.

Oh well there goes the tinkering with your newly acquired 9.3 for a while. Higher grandy duties take precedent now.
Best wishes to you and family. You've got some great times coming up.
Similar to boys going with mums and girls with dads, I notice grandkids are the same. My only grand-daughter (8yo now) has always had me twisted round her little finger.

I love grandkids. Have 12 of them, ranging in ages from nearly 14 years old, down to 5 1/2 years old. Two sets of twins in the bunch. Fun! Congrats!

Oh plenty of time for tinkering mate. I currently live on 1000km away from them.

Ha ha you just wait, your new addition can't articulate yet but once she can, distance means nothing. When they get up on your knee, wrap their arms around you and whisper they 'need' a certain leggo set for a school project, the fact it costs $180 just doesn't cross your mind .
I suppose the cost is about the same I spent on her 10yo brother for a 20g single shot he got for this years duck season so I can't complain.

They know how to melt your heart, and open your wallet

I don't have any.

But my brothers do, and they all somehow are very fond of me??

Yesterday afternoon I had several here in the workshop, and had to actually kicked them out because their parents wanted them back!

Their grandmothers keep saying I am one of the children!

Congratulations, Bakes! Some say the true test of our genetic success is not how many kids we have but how many GCs. I guess it shows that not only can we get/beget kids but ones able and motivated to go out and do likewise.

So far we've only got two but they are the apples of my eye. Their mother asked one if he would like to go 10-pin bowling, to be told: "No, we only do that with Pappy."

Congratulations, better a poppy than a Daisy.

We had our fourth grandson come into this crazy world a week ago.

He, and each of his cousins, is a joy and our devout hope for the future.

Congratulations, Bakes!
