...which club? The "Grandma Club"!
On Dec. 30, 2009 I became a grandmother for the first time! Jay William Barnes entered the world at 2:22 am, weighing in at 7 lbs 4 oz.
Below is the first picture I saw of Jay. It came over on my cell phone (via text) from my son-in-law. It was love at first sight! (check out that blonde hair!)

Jay was born a few weeks early. He had a little bit of a rough start and had to be under the bili lights in the NICU. I called them his "disco dancing" lights!
Daughter #1 and her Sweetheart, Jay's parents, live in Utah, near the Idaho border. As soon as we heard the great news that our grandbaby had arrived, we jumped into our car and drove as quickly as we could. 12 hours later...the picture below is my husband meeting his grandson for the first time. Notice Jay holding is grandpa's finger!
Here he is looking at his mom. "Are you my mother?"
I returned to Utah 3 weeks later to spend a week with the little family. Here they are with Jay. Look how much he's already grown!
He's now almost a month and half old! He weighs over 11 lbs! (yes, I'm one of those grandma's, who shows everyone pictures of the cutest baby ever! I show everyone...the people at the grocery store, the bank tellers, the ladies at the quilt shops...everyone!
Now back to quilting! Lots of little boy quilts to make for my grandson!

Congratulations! He is beautiful! And I know a beautiful baby when I see one. I have my first grandbaby, too! After birthing three sons, I finally have some girl energy; a granddaughter! She is six months old and lives too far away! Thank goodness for Skype!
The Grandmother's Club is the best club to belong to. Congratulations on your new little grandson. Glad your back on the blog. I have missed you and your beautiful quilts.
He is beautiful! What a great smile. How can you not just fall in love with such a sweet little thing. Keep us posted as he grows! I love to see pictures!

How very fun for you to be a grandma. I live 30 min from the Idaho border. Maybe I might run into this sweet family sometime.

Congratulations! Jay is indeed a beautiful baby! All the pictures are wonderful. I've missed you and your blog postings. I know you are even busier now! But, look forward to hearing about Grandmother-hood, and quilting too --of course.

WELCOME to the club - it is the BEST club in the world to belong to - and i'm one of THOSE grandmothers, too - pictures, pictures, pictures - if people don't like it, then i just want to know what's WRONG WITH THEM??!?
This has to be the most beautiful baby ever. I'm one of those people who try and hide normally when people get their baby photos out, but this little darling is so wonderful, just keep them coming.
He is absolutely adorable!! Congratulations Grandma!!
