I would like to introduce you to my grandparents! I am blessed to have both sets of my grandparents around to love and spoil me. I refer to my maternal grandparents (Mommy's parents) as Grandma and Granddad. and my paternal grandparents (Daddy's parents) as Grandpa and Grandma Jo or Granny). None of them live in Tennessee, but I talk to them on the phone and via Skype all the time. I am thankful for all four of them because if it wasn't for them, there would be no mommy and daddy.
Welcome to Our Journey!
Affectionately known as "The Cooks'", we are the proud expectant parents of our first bundle of joy! This blog will serve as a means of communication between us and our family/friends around the country so that everyone can keep abreast of our preparation for parenthood.

Dear Dallas
Dear Dallas,
As I sit here watching you fast asleep, I silently thank God for blessing me with you. You are lying next to me, so very innocent, mommy's precious angel. I never could have imaginged how much I would love you, cherish you, want to protect you. Had no idea that it was possible. You entered my world, turned it upside down, but I wouldn't have it any other way. When you cry, my only concern is to soothe your pain. Oh, but when you look into my eyes and smile, my heart simply melts. Your smile makes me forget about all of our sleepless nights and frustrating moments. With each day that goes by, you grow more and more and develop into the special little boy that God has destined for you to be. I wish that that I could press "pause", but mommy knows that you can't stay a cuddly baby forever. So, as you continue to grow and learn, remember that mommy loves you- always has and always will.
Love,
Mommy

10 Weeks OldMy apologies! I cannot believe that it has taken me so long to post on the blog. Let's just say that the current journey to Dallas keeps me busy and tired these days! So much has happened that I don't know where to start!
Dallas is now 10 weeks old and weight approximately 11 pounds, 3 ounces. He is 21 3/4 inches long, but barely fits into his 0-3 months clothes. He seems to changes before our eyes each and every day. He is able to recognize familiar faces. He definitely knows his mommy and daddy. When he looks up at me (mommy) with those precious eyes and flashes me his handsome grin, my heart simply melts. He holds his head up like a "big boy" and even tries to push up during "belly time".
