First photos of Tamra Judge’s granddaughter Ava Ryan Vieth

Yesterday The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Tamra Judge became a grandma as her son Ryan Vieth and his fiancée Sarah Rodriguez welcomed their first baby girl together, Ava Ryan Vieth, at 8:41 AM. Although Tamra documented the event throughout the morning yesterday with numerous photos, she didn’t share any pictures of Ava. That all changed today!

Actually, the cAVAlcade of pictures began last night when Instagramma Tamra posted the following photo of Ava in her great grandmother’s arms, although you can’t really see Ava – just her blanket and hat:

“Great grandma (GG) holding #AvaRyan.” Tamra wrote, adding a slew of pink heart emoji. “Ryan has not given the OK to post pics yet. I can’t wait to show you how beautiful she is.”

It seems that Ryan gave the OK today as Tamra then began posting numerous photos of Ava, including the one at the top of this post with proud pop Ryan Vieth holding his newborn daughter. “Just minutes old and her big eyes were wide open,” Tamra wrote.

Tamra shared a couple more zoomed-in photos of Ava:

meet Ava Ryan Vieth. She's perfect .

Tamra also took a moment to recognize the circle of life as she offered her condolences to her RHOC co-star Vicki Gunvalson, whose mother Joanne Steinmetz passed away last week. Tamra shared the photo of the floral heart below and wrote:

As my heart is full of joy with the birth of Ava. My heart is also broken for my dear friend @vickigunvalson Almost to the hour she said good bye to her dear mother as I said hello to my grand-baby. I am so sorry I could not be there for you. We will celebrate each life when we both get home. Our lives will never be the same my friend. Love you like a sister.

We know Ryan isn’t necessarily the biggest fan of being on television, but we hope the Bravo cameras were there to capture at least some of the moments before, during, and after Ava’s birth. 🙂 I suppose we will just have to wait and see.

Congratulations again to Ryan and his fiancée Sarah Rodriguez!

UPDATE – Even MORE photos from Gramra AND a video!
