The first-time grandfather said his granddaughter Sky is one of the best things that’s ever happened to him.

“You could love up on ’em and then you give them back… If I had known they were this much fun I would’ve had them first. It’s the best.”

Just recently Roker reported for grandpa-duty and babysat his 3-month-old granddaughter for the weekend.

Although he admitted to forgetting “how hard a 3+ month old is on your own,” the two still managed to have a wonderful time.

The proud grandfather shared a carousel of photos of his granddaughter enjoying lots of walks during what Roker called “the perfect weekend.”

“It’s been a while since I had this setup going on in the kitchen,” he wrote alongside a photo of baby bottles drying on his kitchen counter. “Good to know I can still do this. Like riding a bike. But, I get to give the bike back to the owners,” he joked.

We’re so glad to hear Al Roker is feeling so much better! And we couldn’t agree more that a lot of it has to do with having a new baby in the family.
