I have become the youngest known to all mankind a GLAM-ma! Wooo-Whoo! Over the past weekend, my husband and I became first-time grandparents. We have THE most beautiful little granddaughter anyone could ever ask for and we are “over-the-top” thrilled!
We have been preparing for her arrival for a very long time and have put all kinds of systems in place to ensure her safety. The first thing we did was:
Prepare the grounds.
Then, we hired a whole new security team.
We offered a few suggestions on how to protect the baby from hurting herself in the house…
…and ideas on how to bond with her early on.
Although we had some great suggestions for baby names, they had a lovely name already in mind.
My husband and I plan to assist the new parents as much as possible. Anything that they need. My husband thought he could help by changing her diapers…
…and I figured they might like some assistance with walking their dog.
But most importantly, we want this gorgeous little baby girl to know that she is loved…and she is! When they placed you in my arms, you slipped into my heart.
She’s got these beautiful little eyes, precious little hands and toes and THE softest head of hair…OH! We are so fortunate and so blessed to have this little baby in our lives.
A baby is God’s opinion that the world shall go on. ~ Carl Sandburg
It is the nature of babies to be in bliss. ~ Deepak Chopra
A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankrolls smaller, homes happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for. ~ Anonymous
…I see a couture onesie in this girl’s future ♥♥♥ Glam-ma’s goin’ shoppin’!

Oh Jamie! I was laughing until you said beautiful Mak slipped in to your heart as they slipped her in to your arms and now I’m completely sobbing in my kitchen trying not to spill my coffee. SO happy for the family! She really is incredibly beautiful! Tell your lovely husband Travis and I send our warmest congrats to you both!
Thank you for these wonderfully kind words!
She is the cutest baby ever! I’m so happy for your family! You will make the best glam-ma ever and I can hardly wait to see what fabulous outfits you’ll find for this baby girl!!
If you’re anywhere as cool a grandma as you are an aunt and a sister, that’s going to be one happy kid.
Cheers to all of you, and especially to mom, who did the heavy lifting!
We want photos!!
So very happy for you and John! Ran into John at LePeep during the labor process and know how excited everyone was! We had our first ABQ grand baby 7 months ago and there is nothing better! Enjoy the blessing!
Thank so much – a true blessing!
Ha! Great post Jamie! Welcome to the club. 🙂
This is a cute and funny blog, James! You must visit “Gypsy Baby” in SF for your baby-GLAM. It is well hidden on Canyon Rd and worth the effort. In fact, I will go with you if you’d like:)
