Bill Clinton's first appearance as a grandfather came alongside former first lady Hillary to welcome their first grandchild Charlotte in September 2014.
The former first couple would eventually welcome three grandchildren from their daughter, Chelsea.
Bush was a doting grandfather, even while he was hard at work at the presidential retreat, Camp David.
Years after leaving the White House, the former president joked with his granddaughters Barbara and Jenna before their father George W. Bush was sworn in for the second time in January 2005.
Jimmy Carter was most recently pictured alongside his grandson Jason, a Democratic Georgia state senator, on the 2014 campaign trail in an ultimately unsuccessful bid for governor.
In one campaign appearance, Carter touted his grandson's priority of fighting the state's voter identification law to expand voter access.
"He's led the charge," Carter said, according to the Guardian. "Everyone here and everyone you can contact should join with Jason when the time comes this year to make Martin Luther King's dream come true."
Carter's grandchildren Sarah, Jason, and James Earl IV. took front stage in front of President Ronald Reagan to cut the ribbon opening the Carter presidential library in October 1986.
The Carters would eventually have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In his 1978 presidential proclamation, Carter touted his views about the special relationship between grandparents and grandchildren that can "close the space between generations."
"Because they are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations," Carter said."
Lyndon Johnson's first grandchild was right at home in the White House.
Dwight Eisenhower hosted his grandchildren at his private farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
The farm is now a National Historic Site that's held under the National Park Service, which has fully preserved Dwight and Mamie's house on the property.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt had 13 grandchildren in total.
Roosevelt's grandchildren must have felt comfortable in the White House over the years that cemented their record for living in the Executive Mansion longer than any other first family.
