ROOKIE

Are you kidding me? A blog? Well I've been learning over the recent years that it's not always about me. Someone suggested that it might be a good idea to write, or type, some of these random thoughts and experiences of being NEWT'S DAD.

I've been told that the internet is forever....Well, I guess that's yet to be determined.....but Newt, if you are reading this, it at least lasted until you became internet savvy.

Yep, that's him. The ol' bundle of joy.....my shadow.....the apple of my eye.......

NICHOLAS NEWTON NORRIS

Became a regular here on Earth on February 5th, 2008.....5 lbs. 15 oz.
(some people mount fish that big).

It's funny how one of the things I remember most was how he came out peeing TEE-TEE'n. I guess if I was stuck in belly for that long I'd have to go too.......

Newt, Newty-Newt, The Mayor of Newtville, Newtavious, Newtron, Newtastic, Newt The Magnificent
People ask all the time.....Newt?.....Like the lizard? 

Well, yes...sorta.
My father's middle name is NEWTON, as well as my grandfather's. It was a no-brain'er. Once the NEWTON was in place, NEWT was an automatic.

A good friend of mine told me in the months leading up to his birth, that I was going to find out that I had no idea I was capable of loving anything as much. SPOT ON.


LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT!

I've heard and believe that children are a gift from God........

Even now, as Newt approaches 3 yrs old, my heart still beats pitter-patters when I hold him. See that picture to the left? Text book pitter-pattering going on there.

Not long ago, I posted on FACEBOOK that "my son makes me feel the way everything else I've ever tried, never could." There has never been a more accurate statement that I can come up with to describe what this little 32 lb. GIFT from God has done for me. My only desire is to live up to the expectations of what good fathers are suppose to be.

I DIG this daddy GIG

It's probably obvious to most that I did not have him by myself. I would be amiss if I did not mention APPLAUD his MOTHER, CRYSTAL.........who has been, and continues to be a good FANTASTIC mommy.

If there's anyone out there pondering the thought of being a parent, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Simply put, my EVERYTHING begins and ends with him.
