re: New Grandpa here. What can I do to start a sound college savings plan for my little guy?

My father in law put $10k in a 529 for each of his grandkids when they were born. I chose to contribute $50/month to each of my kids. Although we took a bath for several years because he was hard headed and wanted to invest in foreign high risk stuff and we lost a lot of money for a while we ended up with decent results over the last 7 or 8 years that'll go a long way towards my two kids undergrad degrees.
