Candace Cameron Bure is settling into her new job: grandmother.
During the Friday, Nov. 13, episode of The View, the Full House alum, 50, shared her thoughts on her daughter, Natasha, 28, and son Lev, 26, both welcoming children this year. She even showed off a video of her reaction to her daughter’s happy news earlier this year.
In the clip, the actress could be seen reacting after seeing a baby onesie, baby hat and boots set up on a chair in her hotel room with her husband Valerie Bure.
“Wait, what, are you kidding? You’re kidding?... Are you kidding? Wait, for real?” she exclaimed excitedly before Natasha confirmed her baby news. “I need to cancel everything off the agenda. I don’t want to work a day in my life anymore. I’m freaking getting a grand baby.”

“You guys, it’s true. I will quit everything just to stay home and be grandma,” she told The View hosts.
Lev and his wife Elliott welcomed their first baby together, a son named Bond Leo Bure, on Aug. 4. Natasha and her husband Bradley revealed on Instagram on Oct. 6 that they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Winnie Helaine.
With both of her older children now parents themselves, Candace has embraced her new role as a grandmother — and even has a special nickname.
“I’m the ‘CandyGram,’ ” she said.

When asked how the “grandma life” has been treating her, the Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test star shared that it’s been “unbelievable.”
“Val was calling me a baby hogger because every time he has the baby, I’m just like, ‘No, no, no. Give the baby to mama. I need the babies,’ ” she said. “I just love it… [The babies] do smell good and they’re just precious.”
She explained that becoming a grandmother has given her a new appreciation for the baby stage, allowing her to enjoy those early moments from a different perspective than when she was raising her own children.

“I was 25 by the time I had all three of my kids… and so to experience little babies now when I’m wiser and more patient, I can settle into it,” she explained. “It’s just [bliss],” she said, sighing with happiness.
