‘Hand That Baby to Me NOW’: Ree Drummond’s Grandma Moment Melts Hearts in Church
The Pioneer Woman shares a heartwarming moment with granddaughter Sofia during Sunday service in Pawhuska, Okla.
Ree Drummond snuggled up to her granddaughter Sofia in church yesterday, proving she still has the touch!
This weekend, all of the Drummond clan was in town. The kids came back home for the Cavalcade, the world’s largest amateur rodeo, that’s held at the fairgrounds in Pawhuska, Okla. The kids spent the night dancing and watching the rodeo, but still made it to church on Sunday, Ree said.
Alex, Mauricio and Sofia joined the group, too! The one-year-old attended church with her whole family but was a little whiney at first.
“During church, Sofia was a little fussy,” Ree said on The Pioneer Woman. “So of course I gave Alex the look. It’s a simple, plaintive expression that basically conveys ‘Hand that baby to me NOW, I am her grandma and I need her on my lap.’”
As Sofia sat on her grandmother’s lap with her grandad Ladd by her side, she started to calm down, but only for a moment until she started getting fussy again. Ree, her husband and the rest of the church started singing “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” which quickly calmed Sofia down.
“Immediately, Sofia seemed to relax and come along for the ride,” Ree wrote. And although Ree was singing low to harmonize and calm the baby, she doesn’t think it was her singing that did the trick!
“But it wasn’t my expert (heh heh) harmonizing that calmed Sofia down. It was Ladd, aka Pa-Pa. She locked in and listened to him sing and bought us a good four minutes of utter contentment,” she wrote. “New baby trick unlocked!”
Alex, Ree’s oldest daughter, married Mauricio Scott in 2021 at the Drummond family ranch in Oklahoma. The stunning wedding day was full of flowers, friends and family. The couple had their first daughter Sofia on December 18, 2024.
“Sofia was born around 2:30 in the morning, and she is perfect. I’m saying that with as much objectivity as I can. But I’m not kidding…she is perfect,” Ree wrote when her granddaughter was born. “Thank you, God, for Alex and Mauricio, and for my beautiful granddaughter Sofia Marie Scott!”
