It finally happened. I'm a Grandma!

My kids will tell you that I have been excited to have grandbabies long before any of them were even considering getting married and starting families so this is a big milestone in my life. It happened at 12:01 AM on August 21st, 2010.

Benjamin Ralph Pace entered the world at a whopping 9 lbs 5 oz and is 21 inches long. He has lots of gold blonde hair, long fingers and huge feet. He has Lisa's cowlick and chin, and Cameron's hair and eyes. So far he has been a great sleeper and eater and pooper and all the stuff you want a new baby to be able to do.

Isn't he so sweet?!!!
It is fun to watch Lisa and Cameron learn how to take care of him. Here, he is getting his hair washed.

He has been sucking on his fist for quite some time. He had blisters on his left hand when he was born.

After his first bath.

Paul and Liz were in the waiting room with me through the labor. It was really sweet to watch them with their new grandson. My parents also came down and visited for a little bit and that was special.

I can't wait till Dennis gets home from Colombia and can meet this little guy. We are going to enjoy every moment with him while we can before the Pace family become residents of Bloomington Indiana.
