Avery Elizabeth McGraw
I’ve shaken a lot of hands over the years, but the most powerful handclasp I’ve ever experienced in my life took place a few days ago when Avery Elizabeth McGraw, my new granddaughter, wrapped her hand around my little finger.
When she was delivered, I quickly tweeted that this was going to be a game changer. I was way off the mark. This is such a life-changing event that I don’t even know where to start. No single emotion can describe what Robin and I are going through. There is, of course, the elation that Avery Elizabeth is a bright-eyed, bubbling baby, already so full of life. There is the immense sense of relief that neither she nor her mother experienced any complications during the delivery. There is also the overwhelming pride we feel looking at Jay and Erica, realizing they are now parents, about to start a whole new, wonderful phase of their lives.
And, interestingly enough, Robin and I have begun to truly understand something else. With the arrival of a new generation in the family, we suddenly realize where we are in the continuum of life. We are at a place where we have to admit that life no longer stretches endlessly ahead of us. We are, indeed, at a place where we can number our remaining years.
In a way, it’s been sobering to recognize how quickly things move on. But we also think of this as a magnificent opportunity to make those remaining years as important and as meaningful as they can be.
How are we going to do that? I’ll tell you one way: we are definitely going to spend the next chapter of our lives being the best grandparents we can. We absolutely cannot wait to provide unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life — as well as cookies, and extra spending money, and on and on. We have promised ourselves that we will be the kind of grandparents who are always short on criticism, long on love and respectful of her parents’ guidelines in shaping their daughter.
I do love how the cycle of life works. Jay and Erica have always made us proud, and they will do so as parents. We have already seen their loving touch, their gentle nature with their daughter. Avery is blessed to be born into a happy and stable marriage; a God-centered home with vibrant and involved parents. Robin and I, along with Uncle Jordan, gladly accept the challenge to make her the most spoiled granddaughter on the globe!
HA! Did I say that out loud? Well, it could very well be true. Robin held her every chance she got today, rocking and cooing. And a friend said to me, after watching me grin with delight while little Avery Elizabeth snuggled into the crook of my arm, “That girl’s going to get more out of you than the IRS.” And why not? In just these few days, she’s already given Robin and me a feeling of joy that can’t be measured. And as time goes on, she will be giving us the chance to see the world again, through a brand new pair of eyes. She will take us places we wouldn’t otherwise go. She will show us things we’ve gotten too jaded to notice. She will surprise and delight us, and I hope we do the same for her, sprinkling whatever stardust we can on her life.
I love the old saying, “Grandchildren are God’s way of compensating us for growing old.” God has compensated us well. Welcome to this world, Avery Elizabeth McGraw.

In my late 40’s now, I have had grandparents my whole life. I dread losing them. They are still alive at 94 and 89 years of age. Yes – there was some early childbearing going on there. My grandmother first giving birth at 18, and my mother having me at 21. My grandparents became grandparents in their early to mid-40s. Perhaps we needed you for some things Dr. Phil. It’s funny to hear you speak of the awareness of the senior years of your life… but that sure won’t be the perspective of your grandchildren who simply won’t know life without you in it.
I sent a pkg to you and Robin for the baby. I had sent an email to Robin asking for an address where I could send the Package and when I didn’t hear I sent it to the address for letters to the show. It is still at your post office but am afraid they will send it back since it has not been picked up. I Put many hours of love and prayers into the baby shawl asking that she always be in Gods arms. I hope you get this. Thank You Karin Moore
What a lucky man you are to have so much in your life. My life was my children because of DHS my son is dead. My only child left was my daughter that poured all my love I had left into. When she gave birth to her son she named him after her brother. Before we even had a chance to get to know the little guy he was kidnaped for money. We are so heartbroken because we know we will never see him again. I still cry everyday and can’t seem to grasp how anybody could be so mean. Since the kidnaping he has been abused 8 times that I am aware of I have reported it every time but nobody cares. I have been forbidden to report it anymore and I am sure when they finally kill him I won’t be allowed to attend the funeral either. We have done nothing wrong except make the wrong person mad for breaking the law. I had to speak up for the sake of other children I have always been a protector of children. I am the woman at Wal-Mart who makes people mad because if I catch you abusing children I will say something. I am so depressed and heartbroken that I pray every night that God will take me in my sleep, only to wake up the next day and know that I have to live a horrible nightmare of a day all over again. I always hear people say that God will never give you more then you can handle. I don’t believe that anymore my plate is full and spilling over the sides but yet more keeps getting dumped on top. This world has become so cruel people don’t care about one another anymore they only care about themselves. I am amazed at what people will do to others just so they can get their own selfish needs taken care of.
Dr. Phil, Robin, Erica, Jay and the entire McGraw family…..
CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of beautiful Avery! Enjoy her….the fun has just begun!
Mazel tov, Robin and Dr. Phil.
My younger daughter (a single mother) and my beautiful 4-year-old granddaughter, Brianna, live in the same high-rise as I do. Brianna attends daycare and every evening she calls me and says, “Grandma, come down NOW!” If I say I’ll be down soon, she says, “not soon – NOW!” When she and her mom are having a disagreement, I get the phone call from Brianna.
When I babysit Brianna, my daughter leaves a list of instructions a mile long about what she can and cannot eat or drink; what time she has to brush her teeth and be in bed; etc etc etc…… The minute she’s out the door, I give Brianna whatever treat she wants and let her stay up to play a game or watch a movie of her choice. Sometimes we even forget about the brushing of those beautiful teeth, but please don’t tell her mother. I have a wooden sign on my front door which reads “Welcome to Grandma’s house. Kids spoiled while you wait.”
I also have 2 older grandsons, Adam and Jordan (14 & 12). When Adam first said “Grandma”, I almost melted. It is the most beautiful word in the world. Just wait until Avery says Grandma and Grandpa……….. There is nothing like it.
Enjoy every second because they grow up too quickly.
Fondest best wishes from Montreal,

hey, i was just wondering, how should i feel after beein told i can not have kids? i feel sick to my stomach, as its not me that cant have kids, it my husband. i look at him as if you took my dream away, and i feel like i hate him some times because we will never be able to have our own kids. no one even understands how i feel, or they do and they bring up adoption, which i am still gettin my head around i wont be able to have a daughter or son that is ours. what else could i do? and how can i stop blameing my husband?
Dear Dr Phil (and Robin:) I just want to congratulate you to the newborn..! I felt a warmth within me so I can just imagine how you feel every day! Here in Sweden we are lucky to see your show.. a few months delay but still..! You have made a change in my life and in my familys.. I am 36 years old teacher and I have 5 children; 17, 15, 5,3,1. The two eldest I have with a different father. The major change you made was that I don´t longer raisemy voice.. as you once said – If I do I loose..
Love your show that I have followed since 2005..! My biggest biggest BIGGEST dream would be to bo on one:)
love//R
Well said and well felt Dr Phil. You sound like the grandfather my dad was to my children and the kind of grandmother I strive to be to my 3 yr old granddaughter. What else in this life is as important?
Congratulations to all of you!
I became a mother this year and thank God every day for this blessing. She is the joy of our lives… but there is another thing that came with motherhood that I didn’t expect. The love and pride I feel when I see my dad light up around our little girl. He loves her sooo much and what a blessing for Addisyn to have her grandparents around her. So… not only is Little Avery fulfilling your lives, you and Robin are enriching Jay and Erica’s as well. Enjoy every second
Cathy from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
bless you all.
CONGRATS to all of the McGraw family, on the celebration of Avery Elizabeths birth. I love the Dr. Phil Show, and The Doctors.
You are real people, living in a financial world, that I will never be fortunate enough to experience. However, you all remain down to earth. The shows help me in so many ways to keep my hope alive, that I will be able to move on from my recent divorce, move forward in my career, and hope that someday I will be able to be proud of my two sons as they progress in difficult times.
Dr. Phil and Robin, I applaud you both for your success in raising 2 amazing boys, and showing and teaching us about the world , love, communication, and laughter.
Congratulations to everyone! She will fill your hearts with so much love, but of course Mr. and Mrs. Phil McGraw you already know that when you had your 2 boys. Jay and Erica take it all in and do not miss a minute. They grow up so fast. Enjoy every moment. Love you all. God Bless
Mazel Tov! Two of my three kids recently married. Can’t wait to join the grandparent community. May you be blessed with many more grandchildren.
Russell Said. I am looking foreward to see that baby tomorrow Afternoon from 03-

Dr Phil I just want to say Congradulations to your new baby grandDaughter Grand children are amazing and bring you so much happiness. we have 8 We lost our oldest grandson when he was 20 and it was so devastating that is just not supposed to happen . live in the moment that could be all we have. I love your show and watch you all the time when I watched your show on that youn boy on drugs and how you turned him around I wished I could have done the same for my grand son before it was to late. God Bless you for all you do.
Hi Dr Phil and Robin:
I became a grandmother one year after my husband passed away, and I had just finished treatment for breast cancer. My daughter asked me to be in the delivery room. I was just coming out of the grief and healing process myself, and this “indescribable” experience was beyond words. We now have 19 month old Harlow Sofia, who is the light of my life. She makes me want to get up each and every day.
I was asked to move in with my daughters family and I left New York and moved to Maryland and this was the best move for me. To have this immense pleasure of seeing Harlow each and every morning is the force that drives me each and every day.
I want to congratulate you both with the addition of Avery Elizabeth, and most of all, enjoy every moment with her, as I have.
With best regards.
Congrats to you and all the family on the birth of your Granddaughter .
There is no kind of love like being a grandparent nobody knows this until
they become one!! It is a great kind of love . I feel you should be called
Pawpaw McGraw and Robin , Mawmaw McGraw . Any ways whatever Avery
decides to call you when she says it for the first time it is so awesome!!
We are expecting my first Grandson any day now but hes being stubborn and don’t want to come .
I can’t wait I have four Granddaughters ages 4,3,2,1 so a boy is a welcome change we are all waiting patiently!!
She’s adorable.
I thought that my kids were the most loved children on the planet, but since Oprah didn’t say it to me on the Dr. Phil show, I must’ve been mistaken.
.Dr. Phil@Robin}you have a beautiful family and a beautiful granddaughter she is adorable”i myself know how you feel i”ve got 4 grandaughters @2 grandsons so let me tell you i love them all to pieces;myself i love being a grandmother theres just something about being a grandparent;so let me tell you both i know how you are feeling]it:s different to when you sons have babies of there own but when your .own baby boy has a baby of his own thats sure different let me tell .you both;my youngest boy just had a son of his own last june 15th. so thats different let me tell ya’ but just love them all to pieces}SO CONGRAULATIONS TO THE WHOLE FAMILYwish you all the very best}.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family and she is beautiful. I know Jay and Erica will be excellenct parents because the way you and Robin raided Jay. Have fun with the Avery!
My son and this girlfriend just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They even named her after a little girl I had 42 years ago and she dies eight hour after birth. Her name was Melissa Marie Reed, and my new grand daughters name is Melissa Dawn Reed. They both weighed 6lbs. 1oz. This is my first grand daughter….I have two grandsons. Dr. Phil… I was not happy about this pregancy from the begining, because my son does not have a job right now, and they were both making wrong decisions in their lives. I have tried to help my son, but sometimes you have to back away. There is a long story to go with this, but I won’t bother you with it. I only want to say that I hope and prayer that now that they have this little precious girl in their lives they get their act straight. I must mention that both of them have another child. He has a son and she has a daughter. You are blessed to have a grand daughter with responible parents….
I just want to congratulate everyone of you on your granddaughter. You all are just glowing over the newest member of the family. You did a great job with your kids and you will enjoy the time with the granddaughter. My mom said if I knew grandkids were so much fun I would of had them first. You will be able to spoil them and then send them back. You said on your show that you don’t know what your granddaughter will call you my mom wanted to be grammy and my dad grampy and I can say whatever the first grandchild comes up with for a name is what the rest will call you my mom is minnie and grampy is grampy but it started out beety.
You just can’t imagine how your life with change with a little “Princess”. Especially after having boys. They are a fantastic learning experience, & such a awesome miracle from God!! Get ready for the dresses, dolls & tiara’s. I can’t even put into words what my little Princess means to me, she just turned 5, but I know exactly how you feel. It’s out of this world!!
.
Congrats to you all, shes gorgeous of course. Enjoy every second you can. They grow up way too fast
i just have to say that becoming a grandparent is a feeling like no ther,,, it is undiscribable and being called “grandma” is the greatest. so congrats on the little one,,, didn’t think anything would be the feeling of becoming a mother, but boy, was i wrong,, becoming a grandparent is totally awsome… take care and treasure every moment u have with the granddaughter, they grow up so fast..
CONGRADULATIONS!!!! Baby Avery is beautiful!!! You and your family have so much to look forward to as she grows!!! I know that you will enjoy all of the months and years ahead. Thank you for sharing this special time with your viewers. I LOVE to watch your show and I am so glad that I was able to see the show today when you introduced your pride and joy.
How does it feel to a grandparent?
I am watching the program right now, this very minute, about the introduction of Baby Avery, and I have to tell you, I am the mother of four grown children and we have 10 grandchildren, ages 18 down to age 5, and a person would think that I’d be used to babies, but I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face; tears of joy for the new grandparents! When our first grandchild was born, I wanted to get on the roof of the hospital and annouce to the entire town that the baby was born!! And now, almost 19 years later, when I see this precious first grandchild, my eyes still fill with tears of joy! There is no greater love than a Grandparent’s love, I am positive of that!!!
Congratulations to the McGraw family!
Congratulations McGraw’s! Avery Elizabeth is perfect! God Bless your family.
Congratulations to the McGraw family. Just watched the show announcing Avery to the world. Let her pick your name, my older son’s children call me grandma but the younger son’s call me geegaw and I love it. My granddaughter could not get grandma out very well, so now I am geegaw. She is a beautiful girl and it is you and Robin’s job now to spoil her and love her forever.
I am watching your show with baby Avery Elizabeth’s TV debut!!
God bless your whole family.
I can help Robin put into words what she is feeling trying to describe the love for a grandbaby – not trying to take away from the love you have for your own children. It is so simple. There are several different kinds of love. You love your parents differently than you love your spouse, you love your spouse differently than you love your children…and you love your grandchildren in a truly unique way – so much different than any other kind of love. Yes, grandchildren are your reward from God for having children. Enjoy this bundle of joy every day. You can NEVER give a grandchild too much love. I speak from experience!
Again, God bless your family.
Dear Phil,
I loved, loved, loved today’s show!
Too sweet. I have a womb ache now. I’m thankful God is blessing you all and happy for you. Still hoping that I’ll know such joy one day. (time’s running out so we’ll see) Hugs to bundle of love, Avery.
Um, did i mention I loved the show?
Thanks for sharing your new mini blossom.
sharon
p.s. nice grandpa guilt trip, Pip. you learned that skill quickly…had to stay tuned, wouldn’t ever want to break a grandpa’s heart.
thanks for the laugh.
To Dr. and Robin McGraw: My husband and I are proud grandparents of 10 blessings. We have always said that God leaves a hole in your heart that you don’t know is there until He fills it with a grandchild. Enjoy your blessing every day. She will grow up so fast.
To Jay and Erica: I remember the day the doctor first laid my son in my arms like it was yesterday. He is now 36 years old. Treasure every minute of every day of her life.
Our best wishes for God’s continuing blessing.
CONGRATULATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AVERY ELIZABETH IS ADORABLE !!!!

WE LOVE YOUR FAMILY STORY.
CAL AND ARLENE LAUER
NO. 1 GREAT GRANDPARENTS
I have 3 grandchildren whom I love to death. Robin, I totally understand what you mean about how much you love your grandbaby, not more than your own children, but definitely as much and in a different deeper kind of way. I never thought I could ever love anyone as much as I loved my own children, then I had grandchildren!! As for what the baby will call you, yes, little Avery will find her own name for you. My grandchildren somehow chose Amma (rhymes with Mama) and I just love it ! I’ve never run into another Amma, either. They call their grandpa “Papa”, I guess we kind of taught them that one. It’s easier than grandpa, and doesn’t sound quite so ‘old’? lol Anyway, she’s beautiful, enjoy !
Dr. Phil,
First of all congradulations to Jay and Erica on the beautiful baby girl, secondly to you and Robin this is a new journey for you two so congradulations, it acutally reminded me of my first child born 28yrs ago she was born on the 16th of the month and weight was 6lbs6 1/2oz and 21in it just was a great memory to bring back. Avery Elizabeth McGraw is a beautiful baby and what ever she calls you and Robin i’m sure it will fit you perfectly. God Bless You and your family, I believe he always smiles when a new baby is born.
your grand daughter is beautiful. I watch your show every evening unless I have to work, but then I make my husband tape it so I don’t miss it. LOL. I agree with robin you don’t look like a grandpa…. my grandson calls my husband papa and he came up with that on his own. God bless you and your beautiful family
I just wanted to let yall know that yall have a very beautiful baby girl and yall are very blessed with her. I know the feeling because i have a 3 year old little girl my self. Im a very happy and proud mother to my daughter Lilly Marie. I wish you all the happness in the world with the new baby. My daughters baby pictures are on my myspace page for anyone to look at anytime they want to.
Agan congrats on the new baby in the family
Amanda
Dr. Phil & Family;
Congratulations! I am going to be a first time Grandma the end of June, and I can’t wait! I can’t even begin to imagine what is in store for me, of course for the better. She is just precious, and I know you and Robin are going to be wonderful Grandparent’s. If Robin is anything like me, you can’t even go shopping without going into the baby department! Again, Congrats!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful celebration of your precious granddaughter, Avery Elizebeth on today’s show. My heart was full of joy to see how happy all of you were. Little Avery stole each and everyone’s heart who were watching. May you dedicate her precious life to our Lord “from whom all blessings flow”. I would like to suggest you choose the names for Avery to call you, “Grandmother and Granddaddy”. When my daughter was carring my first grandson, she wanted to know what we wanted him to call us when he started talking. I told her “Grandmother and Granddaddy because he was our Grandson, and it is meant to for us to be grands also.” She said those were mighty big words for such a little boy but she would try to teach him. Guess what?? He pronounced the names better than some adults. I had a Grandmother and Granddaddy when I was growing up and it was a warm feeling every time I called them by their names and it was a feeling beyond words when our Grandson Jordan first said Grandmother and Granddaddy to us. We also have two granddaughters Ashley and Haley and another grandson, Jordan’s brother, Jonathan, (who is adopted and that is another proud moment in our family) and they give us a thrill when they use our special names to get our attention. All these nicknames of grandparents I guess are all ok but just try “Grandmother and Granddaddy”. People notice when our grands call us Grandmother and Granddaddy. I truly feel that is the way it is suppose to be. Just try it you will love it! They call their parents, Mom and Dad!!!
Dr. Phil & Robin..Congratulations on the birth of your most precious gift, little Avery Elizabeth. As a Grandma of 4 precious children. I treasure each one, and thank God for blessing me with 4 wonderful and most precious Grandchildren. Avery is one very lucky baby to have such wonderful Grandparents. Blessings to all of you..
PS. One of my Grandchildren.. Holly Wen was adopted from China and she is one very special treasure.
DEAR MISS AVERY ELIZABETH MCGRAW,
I SAW YOU ON T.V. TODAY WITH ALL OF YOU LOVING FAMILY MEMBERS. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL BABY AND YOU WILL BRING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO ALL OF YOUR FAMILY. THE FIRST GRANDCHILD IS ALWAYS SPECIAL. MY BABY IS NOW 16 AND SHE WAS THE FIRST GRANDCHILD AND SHE HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY PARENTS HEARTS. (THEY NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD EVER HAVE ANY GRANDCHILDREN.) YOU WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE AND MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU. I KNOW THAT YOUR GRANDFATHER WOULD MELT WHEN YOU ARRIVED AND HE DID. BEST WISHES TO ALL OF THE MCGRAWS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
Dr Phil and Robin. I wanted to share with you how I came to have my Grandma Name. My sister had a son and when he use to visit his Grandparents on his Father’s side – he could hear the Church bells ring so he calls them Grandma and Grampa Church Bell. My nephew had given my mom a cat and the cat’s name was Holly (a christmas kitten). So he started calling my mom Grandma Holly. When my mom passed away I was given the priviledge of taking Holly. Now I am a Grandmother and my granddaughters call me Grandma Holly. My granddaughters other grandparents are named after there pet dog Methos – so they are called Grandma and Grampa Methos. Enjoy the blessing you have been given.
You are going to love being grandparents. I am feeling the emotions that you are, over my granddaughter Joanna Lynne Elfleda Durbin born on April 13th , her mother’s birthday. She and my son have been married since 2001 and have a little boy Gareth,almost two. I had the joy of taking care of and getting to know him during the 2 weeks I was able to be with them. I am still silly with delight and she is my 4th granddaughter. The oldest is 32. My grand kids call me Grandma Joann and they called my husband who is now gone, Grandpa Roy. Did the same for their grandparents on the other sides.
Congrats y’arl from downunder..Isn’t life weird but wonderful Phil when your wife fails to give you a daughter, but then your son (and co.) delivers the goods.
As a father of two girls I can say that Avery is probably going to turn ‘hardman’ Phil into a pink marshmellow.. Enjoy the distraction and call me if you need some advice on raising girls. Dave
Hi,
I saw the show with Avery she is soooo cute! I was wondering where you got the gown Erica puts her in that ties at the bottom with the big pink bow? My sister as just had her daughter and I would love to get her one!
Thanks,
Sara
CONGRATULATIONS Dr.Phil and Family! Avery Elizabeth is the most beautiful baby girl I’ve ever seen. She is gorgeous! She is the most loved baby on the globe. your right Dr.Phil, she is going to be spoiled rotten!!! Congrats again, Marissa.
Congrats Dr. Phil and Robin, You two are such proud grandparents, I am so happy for all of you. I am a grandma of four girls. My youngest one was born Jan. 16. 2010 she was also the same birth weight as Avery. I have only seen a picture of my granddaughter cause i live in Florida right now and my son and daughter in law live in Wisconsin. Sure wish i could see her. I watched your show today with the new baby, I got home sick missing my girls. Robin you are going to be a great grandmother. Dr. phil i watch your show all the time. I love it. Again, congrat’s on your new family member.
I was just watching your show today ,, which I had to video tape it like I do everyday because I had to work.. and was just watching you show off your grandaugther.. It made me think of when I got my first grandchild.. you had the same look of joy and feeling so deep words just couldn’t express all you really felt as I did when I met each of my grandson.. I have 5 grandson..
when you were describing what your grandchild should call you . I wanted to scream at the tv lol and say pa pa .. My lord to me that sound so sweet coming off the lips of a child.. I mean I remember when mine was small and they say grandma or pa pa or even ma ma before they could say grandma.. it was so sweet.. I do really believe it is more personal and child like. I feel it fits you to.. but pa pa is what they should call you. it fit.. Congratulation on you first Grand child.. you will have many happy memories from that alone.. and well Robin your wife she said something I did myself.. she said I love my kids but there is something about the love of a grandchild.. Like I said you just can’t explain in words the feeling but you can see it in a grandmothers eyes… Just had to say it .. you need to be call pa pa lol. well that is my opinion ….
Dr Phil, Robin, Jay, Erica & Jordan,
Baby Avery is truly a beautiful baby girl !!! Congratulations to your family !! Happy tears on your show today…..those are the best. My first grandbaby was a girl also. I have been told that I spoil her but believe I spoil the four grandsons that came after her also. I tell her she is Nana’s “Queen Bee”, but of course why wouldn’t she be since she is the only girl. I love being these babies Nana and always cherish every minute I get to spend with them. I totally agree with you when you say this is our reward for growing older. Enjoy & God Bless your family !!!
Regards,
Bev Couture ( A Nana in Vermont)
