From what i can gather he has lived most of his life raised his children and is enjoying his retirement.

so you gave birth to a bundle of joy and now he has a new grandchild (is that his first?).

did it ever occur that simply just wants to be a part of your babies life... he is a pain now but no one knows tomorow... i wish my paternal grandfather and grandmother came over to my house when i was a baby every day... they might run up the bills but at least i'd know them.

Time flies leggy before you know it (God forbid) this man is gone what will you say then? Life is short its the bad things we will remember if we keep dwelling on the bad im sure he means well...Allow the man.. his last child now has a family of his own and he is simply proud and just wants to be a part of your childs life

Im sure he is mature you and husband can sit him down and talk... maybe he can shorten his visits to weekends.. but please at least allow him to pass wisdom to your son/daughter even if your child is only 3 months old..for his wisdom passed down may last your child a lifetime
