Congrats, She's a real cutie..
Congrats to parents and grandparents, she is darling. And the portrait process is fun to observe on such an active model.
Congrats, Mr. Gurney. I hope that babysitting and painting won't be mutually exclusive! :)
Congratulations James!
Congratulations James and family! Such a cute baby. Did Jeanette knit that beautiful sweater?
Those eyes! So sweet. As it happens, “Granddad” wound up being my appellation. I wonder if you’ll be that or Grandpa, or one of the many other variations. Regardless, congratulations.
Congratulations! he's so beautiful!
Sorry, I meant She is beautiful!
Adorable! And she looks like you!

Congratulations! And thank you, James, for letting me see how you corrected the features!
