When The Relatives Came

Today Nana and Poppa arrived at our home, and boy, were they happy to see little Miss Nora. Nana has not been able to keep her hands off of Nora, and Poppa's heart has been captured once again. Nana brought Nora to the pool for the first time and fed her gummy bears. (I guess that's what grandmas are for.) Nana and Poppa will be here for at least 4 days. It may even be longer depending on Hurricane Gustav. We will enjoy every second with them.

Along with Nana and Poppa came Great Grandma and Great Grandpa (Mawmaw & Pawpaw), Aunt Tammy, and cousins Reagan, Shawan, Goldie, Amanda, Ashley, Jayden, Caleb, and more. Wow! It is great to be around family!

Back Tracking


Here are a few of our favorite moments . . .
3 month photos
"Isn't she just BEAUTIFUL!"



Rocky VI - featuring Nora Brooks
This video was made at 4 months. Nora was just starting to get mobile. Its amazing how fast they learn. She is now semi-crawling (lil' scooter) Daddy plans on adding to this movies until we can get her climbing the stairs and standing at the top with her arms in the air. -Classic Rocky



Cruising with Uncle Bubba (Don't report us- we altered the picture) We went blueberry picking with Uncle Bubba and AJ (Aunt Jackie) . So much fun! The highlight for Nora was "driving" in Bubba's lap.


"Gimme" that spoon, Mom! From the first time to "Hey, I think I can do this myself!" This makes me laugh everytime I see it.


At the zoo with Mama J - Adorable! We had a great time at the zoo. Nora did not look at one animal, but she enjoyed watching the people. I guess you'll have to agree . . . people can do strange things at times. Here are a few pics of Nora with Mama J. Nora loves her granny.


Let's Get It Started! (Ha!)

We are finally jumping on the blog band wagon. What better way to share all our great pics of Nora.

So . . . yesterday, Nora went on a toy shopping spree. We let her run through the store and get anything she could grab in 5 minutes. :) Being that she can't walk yet, we were in luck. Anyhow, we did go out and buy her several new toys, and our girl is a natural basketball star. We let her explore a new toy and within a couple of tries, she was dropping the ball in the hole every time. Nora - SWOOPS!


Oh, did I mention Nora is semi-crawling now? She's not lifting up her bottom yet, but she has a mean scoot! Look out all of daddy's high-tech toys, Here comes Nora!
