Congratulations are in order for the Bush family.
Lauren Bush Lauren and her husband, David Lauren, have welcomed their second baby — Max Walker.
According to Daily Mail:
The 33-year-old FEED founder was due to give birth next month, but David, 46, took to Instagram on Friday afternoon to announce that their bundle of joy has arrived.
‘We feel lucky and blessed to introduce our son Max Walker Lauren!’ he wrote. ‘He was born yesterday (April 19) at 5:33 am weighing 7lbs 8oz. He is happy and healthy and enjoying his new world!’
The proud dad shared a close-up photo of little Max sound asleep with a blue knit cap on his head.
The couple are also parents to a two-year-old son, James, who is now a big brother.
The joyous news comes just three days after Lauren’s grandmother Barbara Bush died at the age of 92.
I’m sure Barbara is looking down on him with a heart full of love.
Lauren paid tribute to the former first lady on Instagram earlier this week, sharing a series of photos of herself with her grandmother throughout the years.
‘Ganny was truly a one-of-a-kind, tell it like it is, amazing woman! My love of reading, puzzles, and travel are just a few things she helped foster in me,’ Lauren wrote.

‘She loved my Gampy and her family fiercely, and I feel so blessed to have had her as my grandmother for over 30 years. Rest in peace Ganny, we love you!’
Barbara will be sorely missed by so many.
Meanwhile, David posted a picture of their eldest son with Barbara and her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, writing: ‘Baby James got to experience the love and warmth of his unforgettable great-grandmother Barbara Bush. She will be very missed!
Page Six reported that Lauren found out about her grandmother’s death at the event marking the Food Bank for New York City’s 35th anniversary.
According to the outlet she stayed through the dinner but left before the after-party.
‘She looked somber at the table,’ a source told the publication.
Much of Lauren’s family is likely in Texas with Barbara’s surviving husband, George, who greeted mourners who came to pay their respects at his wife’s viewing on Friday.
The former president, who was married to Barbara for 73 years, was not expected to attend the viewing.
‘He just said, “I want to go.” It was completely spontaneous,’ one of his aides told NBC News.
You should see the pictures of him greeting people there. They will absolutely tug at your heartstrings.
On Saturday, a private by-invitation funeral service will be held at the church. Afterwards, she will be laid to rest on the grounds of the George Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas.
Congratulations to the Bush family!
