I don't see anything prideful in being proud of your son, as long as it's not a "my son is better than yours" or "look at what a great parent i am" kind of attitude. Pride is competitive and hateful in nature, and i don't see those attitudes in your description.

Here is a great talk from Pres. Ezra Taft Benson on pride, quite famous actually (at least in the church):
LDS.org - Ensign Article - Beware of Pride
