Recalling a past conversation she had with fellow CBS journalist Lesley Stahl, King noted that Stahl, 80, had written “a book about grandparents,” titled,Becoming Grandma: The Joys and Science of the New Grandparenting.
The book, King explained, is one she now plans to go back and revisit after daughter Bumpus and her husband, Virgil Miller, welcomed their son in September.

“I read the book, and I enjoyed the book, but I told her I have to reread it cause I bet I’ll see it differently now,” King said. “Everything!”
“The skies seem brighter, the colors are nicer. You just can’t enough of this child,” she added. “And when you bring a child into the world, you realize what a responsibility it is — cause they’re little sponges. They come in wanting to be loved.”

Back in September, King announced Luca’s arrival during aCBS Morningsbroadcast.
King also shared a photo of the new family of three at the time, though she didn’t show the newborn’s face. “He’s very, very cute, so congratulations to my favorite daughter, my favorite son in law. Now I have a favorite grandson! I’m over the moon,” she added.
