Al Roker, the beloved weatherman on Today, recently shared his joy and excitement about becoming a first-time grandfather. In an interview on the NBC morning show, he couldn't contain his happiness while discussing his new granddaughter, Sky Clara Laga. Al's daughter, Courtney Roker and her husband, Wesley Laga, welcomed their baby girl on July 3.

Al Roker described the experience of being a grandfather as «magical.» Holding his granddaughter brought back memories of holding her mother, Courtney, nearly 35 years ago. Sky weighed 5 lbs., 15 oz. and measured 19 inches long, making her perfect in every way. Al also mentioned that Sky is a great sleeper, following a consistent four-hour sleep pattern.

When asked about the origin of Sky Clara's name, Al clarified that it had nothing to do with his profession as a weatherman. However, the name does seem fitting. Additionally, Clara is the name of Courtney's godmother, giving the name even more significance.

Al provided an update on Courtney and Wesley, stating that they are both doing well. Courtney had a cesarean section, so she is facing some challenges, while Wesley is adjusting to the responsibilities of being a new dad. Al's son, Nick Roker, 20, is overjoyed with the new addition to the family, describing his experience of holding Sky as «enthralled.»

After Courtney gave birth, the Roker family, along with Wesley's parents, had the opportunity to visit the new parents in the hospital. However, shortly afterward, Wesley's parents left for Greece, allowing Al to spend more time with Sky, which he greatly appreciated. Al expressed his desire to be called «Pop Pop» by his granddaughter and was thrilled
