Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just took on a major role: grandpa.

The New York Democrat tweeted an announcement Wednesday that his family grew by one with the addition of Noah Melvin Schumer-Shapiro, “a very happy Brooklyn baby.” The middle name, Melvin, Schumer wrote, is in honor of Schumer’s great-grandfather, a New York City cabdriver.

Shapiro’s parents are also first-time grandparents.
