Shortly after celebrating the arrival of her first grandchild, Ree Drummond shared photos of the baby girl—as well as some new details about her arrival—in a post on her blog.
The Pioneer Woman host’s oldest daughter, Alex, welcomed her own daughter, Sofia, in the early morning hours on Wednesday, Dec. 18. Alex and her husband, Mauricio Scott, shared some snapshots with their daughter later that day in a joint post on Instagram.

Drummond shared her own photo with Sofia on Instagram that same day, and later followed that initial post with a collection of snapshots on her blog. The handful of photos showed the newborn being held by Alex, Mauricio, Drummond, and Alex’s younger sister, Paige. See the snapshots here.
Drummond began her blog post by telling fans that her “heart is exploding with happiness,” adding, “I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head (and heart) around it all.”
Drummond and her husband, Ladd, traveled from their ranch in Oklahoma to Dallas, Tex. to be at the hospital as Alex delivered her baby. However, Drummond wrote that she questioned the necessity of their presence, writing, “Mauricio attended to Alex’s every need, to the point that the rest of us questioned if we even needed to be there. 😂.”

After meeting Sofia for the first time, the Food Network star described her granddaughter as “perfect.”
“I’m saying that with as much objectivity as I can,” Drummond wrote. “But I’m not kidding…she is perfect.”
The TV personality then explained that she was posting the photos so that those who have watched Alex grow up by tuning in for The Pioneer Woman episodes over the years would “be able to celebrate the best day of her life,” as well as the “best day” for Drummond and her husband.
Following the initial roundup of photos, Drummond promised her fans that “there will be many more to come.”
