Ree Drummond, known as the “Pioneer Woman” blogger, is officially a grandmother! Her daughter Alex Drummond Scott welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Sofia Marie Scott, on December 18, 2024.
Ree shared the happy news on Instagram, and fans flooded her post with congratulations. Many commented on how much Sofia resembles her grandmother, with one admirer even saying the baby looks just like Ree.
In her Instagram post, Ree shared a photo of herself holding her granddaughter alongside her husband, Ladd Drummond. She expressed her joy, saying, “Our first baby had her first baby. ❤️ Thank you, Lord, we will never be the same.”
Ree also teased fans with more photos of Sofia on her Instagram stories. In one picture, she cradled the newborn and wrote, “Sofia has arrived!” She then shared a sweet photo of Sofia wrapped in a white blanket with baby footprints, wearing a white bow tied with a red ribbon.
Alex, the new mom, also announced Sofia’s arrival on her Instagram with a series of black-and-white photos. One heartwarming picture showed Alex and her husband, Mauricio Scott, gazing lovingly at their baby girl.
Alex captioned her post: “She’s here 🕊️. December 18th, 2024. At 2:27 am our perfect girl made her arrival a couple weeks early, just in time for Christmas! We are so in love and forever changed. Thank you, Lord.”
Mauricio also shared the announcement on his Instagram stories, writing, “Our baby Sofia is here 🥹😭💓.” Fans celebrated with them, leaving heartfelt comments about the new addition to their family.
Under a photo of Ree holding her granddaughter, one fan remarked, “Sofia looks like her mommy 🎀🥰.” Another said, “She looks just like her momma in this photo! Congratulations❤️.”
Some fans thought Sofia resembled Ree, with one writing, “She looks like her granny 😍😍 congratulations @thepioneerwoman 🎊.” Another added, “Congratulations…I can already imagine the fun you two will have baking sweet treats together. ❤️”
A touching moment was captured of Mauricio holding Sofia, which drew emotional responses from fans. One commented, “Oh my heart…that last picture?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭 The relationship of a daddy and his daughter is so precious!!”
Ree expressed her excitement on her website, saying, “My heart is exploding with happiness. My daughter just had a daughter. I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head (and heart) around it all.”
Ree also praised Mauricio for being an amazing support during Alex’s labor, joking that his attentiveness left the rest of the family wondering if they were even needed.
On her blog, Ree described Sofia as “perfect,” humorously adding that the word “perfect” in the dictionary should reference Sofia Scott. She shared photos of her granddaughter and thanked her fans for joining in the celebration of this special family moment.
Alex and Mauricio first announced their pregnancy in June 2024 with a heartfelt post showing their ultrasound. Their dog, George, even joined the fun, wearing a scarf that read “Big Brother.” Later, the couple revealed the baby’s gender in a funny way—by letting George eat a cupcake meant for the reveal!
During Alex’s pregnancy, she had a beautiful baby shower with her friends and family. The event featured delicious treats, sentimental moments, and even a surprise visit from Mauricio and George.
Before Sofia’s birth, Alex shared that they picked the name simply because they loved it. The name Sofia, of Greek origin, means wisdom. Her pink-themed nursery is beautifully decorated, featuring blue accents, white furniture, and thoughtful touches like pink cowboy boots and a rocking horse gifted by her great-grandmother.
From their friendship to marriage and now parenthood, Alex and Mauricio are excited to begin this new chapter. They tied the knot on May 1, 2022, at the Drummond Ranch and are thrilled to embark on this new journey as parents.
