Minnesota Democrat Al Franken and his wife, Franni, have fallen (hard) for their first grandson, Joseph Bryson Greenwald.

“Somehow, in the last few hours, Franni and I have already managed to spoil the baby,” Franken gushed May 31 in a release announcing the arrival of his extended brood.

The bouncing baby boy weighs 6 pounds, 11 ounces, and mom, Thomasin Franken, is reportedly doing well.

Congrats, Team Franken!
