Al Rokeris getting comfortable being a grandfather.
On Monday, the longtimeTodayweatherman shared a cute photo onhis Instagramholding his newborn granddaughter Sky. Roker looks lovingly into his 3-week-old granddaughter’s eyes and she stares up at him.
“I could look into this face all day,” he captioned the post, joking, “But then, little Sky Clara wouldn’t get to eat, so I eventually had to give her back to Mommy and Daddy.”

Shortly after her birth, Roker spoke withTodayco-hostsSavannah Guthrie,Hoda Kotb,Craig MelvinandSheinelle Jonesabout becoming a grandparent. “It is magical, it really is,” he said.
“The thing is, everyone tells you it’s going to be ‘this thing’ and you don’t know; it’s like when they tell you about having your first child. And then to hold this little girl, knowing almost 35 years ago I held her mom? And here she is, 5 lbs., 15 oz. 19 inches long and she’s just perfect.”
“I’m telling you, she’s a great sleeper,” he added of Sky. “Sleeps for four hours, wakes up, goes to the bathroom, sleeps another four. We’re on the same schedule!”

Hilariously, Al insisted that his granddaughter’s name has “nothing to do with the fact that I’m a weather person” — though it couldn’t be more fitting.
