Earlier this week, daughter-in-law Erika shared a video of the dedicated “Bubbe” singing to her grandson as he lies on the floor under an activity center toy. As Kathie Lee plays with him, the infant laughs.

“One week ago with 👵 ✨,” she captioned the cute video. “His little chuckle has our hearts 💛 Greatest sound in thee world 🫠”

Speaking with PEOPLE in late August, Kathie Lee said that being a grandmother is “just beautiful.”

“Everybody says it is. I FaceTime with him every day and he’s just a wonderment,” she shared. “He’s extraordinary. And everybody thinks their own grandchild is the best in the world, so I won’t say anything other than they’re right, their grandchild is.”

Last December, Kathie Lee told PEOPLE how she found out she was becoming a grandma.

“I had just arrived home to begin my book tour on theToday Showthe next morning,” she recalled, adding that she was seated at the table with Cody and Erika, as well as longtime friend Christine Gardner.

“Cody and Erika handed both of us something that was wrapped and asked that we please open at the same time. It was a two-sided frame and mine read, ‘Can’t wait to meet you Grandma’ on one side and on the other was a photo of Cody and Erika holding their ultrasound,” she continued.
