Sofia's parents are Drummond's eldest child, daughter Alex, and Alex's husband Mauricio Scott.

Over on her blog, Drummond further gushed about how she is feeling as a grandmother, writing that her \"heart is exploding with happiness.\"

\"My daughter just had a daughter,\" she continued. \"I'm honestly still trying to wrap my head (and heart) around it all.\"

She added, \"Alex did great, and so did Mauricio ... Sofia was born around 2:30 in the morning, and she is perfect. I'm saying that with as much objectivity as I can. But I'm not kidding...she is perfect.\"

Drummond, who is a mom herself to five children in total, first announced that she and Ladd were going to be grandparents back in June.
