Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, who is a Fox & Friends co-host, tells PEOPLE, “Just before George was born, the whole family was on baby-watch.”

Steve recalls that before George arrived, he was watching Peter deliver a live report from the White House lawn, and he saw “out of nowhere a dive-bombing bird smacked him in the head.”

“I woke up my wife Kathy, who listened, paused for a moment and said, ‘This bird that hit Peter — was it a stork?’ ” He clarifies it was not a stork. “That night Peter went home, shampooed his hair to get the dirty bird out, and Hillary went into labor sometime after the cream rinse,” he says.

Steve tells PEOPLE that he’s looking forward to spoiling his grandson. He explains his Instagram feed serves him a lot of Reels about grandparents and their grandchildren, that feature “sentimental music, kids running at grandmas in slo-mo, big smiles, lots of laughs.”

“But what I see beyond that is the unconditional love that the kids show to their grandparents and vice versa,” he says. “Little do they know as a grandparent, my job is to spoil them rotten the rest of their lives.”

“I expect in the not too distant future I will have a conversation with young Mr. Doocy that goes something like, ‘George, when your parents come home tonight after work,  there’s really no reason they need to know we had pie and ice cream for breakfast…again,’ ” he says jokingly.
