Lots of info here.
Says you can catch chickenpox from someone with shingle if you have not had chickenpox before. But you can't get shingles from someone who has shingles

Shingles is contagious on contact. Most patients that have Shingles are placed in a Contact Isolation room. Your son being 4 month should avoid your father. Shingles, Chicken Pox all fall under the same category. The fact your child is 4 month old could be a concern.

I had Shingles for the first time a few weeks ago. I am normally in good health and haven't had any other health challenges before, so it came as a surprise.
Shingles is probably the most painful thing I have ever encountered. I went to the doctor, and he gave me some prescription drugs to take that was suposed to help, but didn't.
My wife found the Fast Shingles Cure ebook online and bought it for me, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. We followed the book, did what it said, and it delivered what it promised. Finally my Shingles rash is over... I feel truly blessed and thankful.

Yes you can get it even if you have had chicken pox i never had chicken pox as a kid all my brothers did then when i was 20 or so i got shingles and once you get them you can get them more then once i had 3 outbreaks in a year they are mainly triggered by stress or a weakened immune system due to an illness or having HIV so you might want to stay away from that person they will be contagious until the blisters dry and scab over and 10 days before the first signs of even having shingles and for those of us who have had them we know how painful they are

Shingles is not infectious in the same way as chickenpox, where the virus can be passed on in coughs and sneezes. However, shingles is contagious. This means it can be passed on by direct contact. Fluid from shingles blisters can cause chickenpox in people who are not already immune. People with shingles should avoid those with a lowered immunity.

Shingles is not contagious as shingles, though if you've never had chickenpox before, you could get that. You can only get shingles if you've previously had chickenpox.
Take a look at the following site for a better explanation.
