Hearfelt congratulations on the arrival of the new grandchild.  :cheers
When can we expect the cigars ???
My wife and I have been waiting patiently for 10 years now for one of our daughters to come through with one of those.   You must be a very proud grampa.

Congrats Duck!!!
Did you pick up a parlor for the little guy yet?
:thumbsup

Cigars? Hmm. How about a donut?  :donut
Thanks everyone. I haven't been up to the hospital yet. Soon as I finish work. Proud? Oh just happy all's well. What's the best guitar for a two day old? Anyone who wants to say Baby T_____ can just ... dream on.
Lynn - Mom's 32. It was a long wait but they'll probably come in bunches now. Everyone's gotta have their 2.1 kids just to keep up.   

Grampa Ducktrapper...has a nice ring to it don't ya think?   :wink:

Make sure he knows what team to root for Duck...wouldn't want him to be a Leafs fan or anything...God forbid!!!

Congrats Duck...I became a father for the first time nearly 4 years ago and even with all the sleepless nights, the screaming, the toys everywhere, the messes...etc  It's all worth it.  I can only imagine being a grandfather means you get all the good stuff without having to change any diapers...lucky!!!!!

Not to worry! Mom has been well steeped in La Tradition. Dad's into basketball. The only Toronto team he's likely to pull for will be the Raptors. Yeah we get to spoil him and send him home. What could be better?

Pump'em full of sugar and chocolate, then hand them over to mom and dad...nice, very nice :wink:

Congratulations, Gramps!
Hope everybody is healthy.
welcome to the new little guy.
:cheers

Congratulations Grandpa! :donut :donut2 :coffee

Was he a keeper?  (We always say that in my family ever since I cracked up the entire staff when my first was born, I said my son was a keeper and not to throw him back!)

Just got back from seeing him for the first time. I got to hold him for a twenty minutes or so and try to wake him up. Likes to sleep it seems. Definitely a musicianly trait, that. He's just beautiful. Looks like his mother. Definitely a keeper alright. He says thanks and hi.  :wave   

Congrats on the new arrival Duck, and all the best to the new parents.

Brian

Congratulations Grandpa, Well wishes to all.

First Congrats on the grandson.  :thumb

Sweet guitar! Want one! 
We've had a little scare with the little guy. It seems he's inherited a fairly rare genetic defect. Thankfully it may not be as bad as it initially sounded. A problem with processing fatty acids. He's doing pretty well otherwise and should be able to have a normal life. The danger is mostly in infancy however, by all indications, early detection has been a godsend to families with this problem. Say a prayer for our small friend. He'll be pickin' and grinnin' in no time.

Little Nolan and the rest of the family will be in my prayers.   I'm sure everything will be fine.   Please update as you are able.

My best wishes to you, Nolan, and the whole family.

My younger grandson Max was miserable for six months, until doctors operated and removed his gallbladder. Now that was something to be in the hospital to see the little guy about to have an operation. Thankfully, it was laproscopic... and he's a charming, delightful, happy 1st grader. Before you know, Nolan will be, too!

There's a ton of great children;s music available, so enjoy.

Congratulations Grandpa!  The little one, you, and your family are in my prayers.

Keep us posted....we want to see photos!
:donut2

congrats on the new keiki.  ditto on the pics

Pics? I'm computeretarded. I'll try to put some on my photoshare file.

Wonderful News! Genetic tests came back negative for MCAD. He had two false positives from the early scans. The boy is healthy and mom and dad (and granddad) are very relieved. It's been an emotional two months. Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers.
