Grandma's beaming: It's a baby boy, and Larry Jr. is the dad

Little Larry's the daddy!
"My beautiful grandson is not a secret," Mary Lou Nazario told me via telephone Tuesday. Reminded that it was April Fools' Day, Nazario laughed and said she was dead serious that a Coconino County judge has issued an order confirming that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald Jr. is father of Angela Nazario's baby, Devin Nazario Fitzgerald, who was born Jan. 1, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces.
On Wednesday, a court official confirmed to me the authenticity of a paternity document that came into my possession.
Angela filed a paternity suit against Junior last year. Before this, Junior had a reputation for being a classy, careful, responsible pro athlete.
Larry Fitzgerald Sr., or Grandpa as I've taken to calling him, did not return my call Wednesday seeking comment from Junior. Big Fitz has been angry because of the flippant column items regarding the paternity suit against the image-conscious Junior. A child out of wedlock is not something that sits well with Grandpa, who as a sports columnist for the Spokesman-Recorder turns a blind eye to the tabloid lifestyles led by many pro athletes.
However, now that the DNA results are in, I assumed Junior would man up and speak! At least I hope the Holy Angels alum ponies up a level of child support commensurate with that four-year, $40 million contract extension he recently signed.
"We [including Angela's dad, John Nazario] are very proud grandparents," read Mary Lou's e-mail, which was followed up with a telephone interview.
How is baby Devin?
"Oh my God, he's so beautiful; he's big. He weighs like 14 pounds," she said. "He looks just like Larry. He's got Larry's eyes, Larry's nose. He even has a little cleft on his chin. Larry's big head. He was born by Caesarean; that's why he was born early. When he was being born they said, Oh, his head is big! They had to cut Angie a little more, just to get his head out."
Devin has a dimple on his right cheek just like his grandma. "The only thing he has of Angie's is small ears, that's it." Big heads need big ears, so here's hoping for greater symmetry as Devin grows.
"Have you ever seen the website [larry-fitzgerald.com] where Larry Senior has a picture of himself with a little reporter hat on?" Mary Lou asked. "That's exactly what Devin looks like." Of course, Junior looks more like his late mom, Carol, than Big Fitz.
"I don't want to make Larry [Jr.] look bad. I love Larry, believe it or not," said Mary Lou, who clearly loves grandbaby Devin even more.
