"Jay-Z is one lucky man. The &amp;quot;Suit &amp;amp; Tie&amp;quot; rapper has a bevy of beautiful women in his life, including wife Beyonce, mom Gloria Carter, and 16-month-old daughter Blue Ivy. The proud first-time dad can hardly hide his joy when he spends time with his adorable bundle of joy, Carter told Us Weekly exclusively at a Mother&amp;apos;s Day event in support of her Shawn Carter Foundation on Saturday, May 11.\r\n&amp;quot;It warms my heart to see how he interacts with his daughter,&amp;quot; she told Us. &amp;quot;And when she says, &amp;apos;Papa,&amp;apos; he just melts. He&amp;apos;s a great dad.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nCarter added that she&amp;apos;s fully enjoying her role as grandmother to Blue, 16 months, after having raised Jay-Z and his three siblings single-handedly while also holding down a job as an investment analyst for the city of New York.\r\n&amp;quot;The amazing thing about being a grandmother is that you go get the kids, but when you&amp;apos;re tired, you can take them home!&amp;quot; she said with a laugh. (When asked if the superstar couple would want more grandchildren, Carter responded with an &amp;quot;I think so!&amp;quot;)\r\n\r\nHer own &amp;quot;baby&amp;quot; right now is the Shawn Carter Foundation, an organization that provides scholarship money for kids who have low GPAs and wouldn&amp;apos;t be able to afford schooling otherwise. &amp;quot;When I did this, [Jay-Z] said &amp;apos;Ma, this is your baby.&amp;apos; But when I need him to be here, he&amp;apos;s here because he believes in it too.&amp;quot;\r\nAs for baby Blue, who is currently learning the meaning of &amp;quot;hello&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bye bye,&amp;quot; picking up on things doesn&amp;apos;t seem like it&amp;apos;s been an issue so far.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s very very smart,&amp;quot; Carter shared with Us. &amp;quot;But [the TV show Babies Choice] teaches the babies that when you say hello, that means you&amp;apos;re going to be around. But when you say, &amp;apos;bye bye,&amp;apos; it means you&amp;apos;re going to disappear. So when you&amp;apos;re around her, when she looks at you and she&amp;apos;s tired of you, she looks at you and she says, &amp;apos;bye bye!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;So with me I&amp;apos;m like, &amp;apos;No bye bye! No bye bye!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she added with a laugh."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
