The arrival marks a special milestone for the Gifford family, as Rosie is Kathie Lee Gifford's first granddaughter. Speaking to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, the proud grandmother expressed her overwhelming joy.

"Babies are the last great miracle left in life. They never cease to amaze you, astound you and delight you," said Kathie Lee. "I am so in love already with this precious little girl!"
