Grand Pa's Turn

The one and only Grandpa Walker comes to Palmdale to swoon Gloria!
Straight from the land of micro brewries and bratwurst Gloria's Grandpa Jim came to introduce himself to his third granddaughter.
We cannot get over how calm this gentle giant made her when she was in his arms(not a peep). Notice that he didn't even need the boppy for support. but what the kicker was when he sang his patented song "Signifying Monkey" which then prompted the rest of us in the room to break out in dance.


Even though the picture doesn't show it Gloria kept grinning.

These grandparents have magical powers ( not a peep when they are around but the minute they leave.....DRAMA)

Along with her grandfather's visit , her Auntie TT and Uncle JP visited with Gloria's (22) month old cousin Hana

.

It was so sweet watching Hana want to help out with gloria who knew she was so maternal

Yummy Yummy!!!

Nana came to town....



Well another exciting week in just her third week of existence. 1st Gloria's Nana came all the way from Atlanta to visit the little angel. More importantly she spoiled the parents by letting us get some sleep(As well cooking every night (-:). Gloria took to the swaddling in Nana's arms so much that i don't she is going to grow out of it (trust me i know from past experience).



Playtime was a must and Bernice was waiting her turn to be swaddled (jk).



While Nana was here she was able to meet more of Bernice's family. Bernice's Tia and cousin came to introduce themselves to the new addition to the family, as well as continue a tradition that all the women in their family participate in

EAR PIERCING!!!

She actually took it like a professional. Small cry and that was it.


Nana left back home to Atlanta but the turnstile of visitors to bond with the baby continued.


By the end of that week Bernice's co-worker Mayra took time out of her busy schedule to visit with her old friend and new one.



That was in the 7 o'clock hour, by eight Ken and Joanne Ray who are friends that we play softball with came by, and you think Nana spoils Gloria wait til she got a hold of Auntie Jo.














Joanne even came equipped with a kit that immortalizes the size of her daddy like feet. She has showered her with countless treasures and keep-sakes that we are so grateful to her and Ken.


The grand finale ended with the arrival of Great Tia Marleen and grand Tio Jorge.


Gloria was hypnotized by Marlene's leopard print. It's safe to assume that she should wear that everytime she wants to feed Gloria.
