...and baby makes 3!

2008-07-11T16:16:00.000-07:00

It's been a LONG while since my post. I am now THREE years old. I am about 34 inches tall and weigh 29lbs. I've come a long, baybee. I am now talking NONSTOP. I love to be a little bossy, especially with my Stratton. I hope to get some of my birthday pictures up. My mommy had a petting zoo at my house. It was so so neat. Not sure what my favorite animal was but that fainting goat made me giggle everytime. My mommy also made sure that this was a birthday that I would not forget. You see, the day before my big party, mommy left the cake on the stove top and somehow the knob was turned on. A little while later, me, mommy, and Nonnie are outside setting up tables and my mommy noticed that there was a fire in the kitchen. Next thing I know, there is a pretty red truck at my house and all these people with a big ol' water hose. But I heard my mommy tell Nonnie that it could have been worse and to think about where we were three years ago....NICU with me (2lbs, 3ozs). Since then everything has been replaced and looks as it did before, brand spankin' new! My mommy has not had much time since starting her new adventure/ business too. You'll have to check it out at karladavidsonphotography.blogspot.com . But she is going to try her best at keeping up with both.

This is something else I love to do. Ride the three-wheeler or sometimes four-wheeler with my daddy. Usually, my mommy makes me wear my Dora helment .....someone forgot.

2008-02-24T20:33:00.000-08:00

Guess what I'm doing.....and I LOVE IT.

This is my buddy Kate. We go to gymnastics and love it. Of course, it took me about two weeks to warm up to my instructor, Ms Carrie. I am very shy around new people. But it doesn't take me long to warm up and when I do...watch out!

2008-02-24T19:40:00.001-08:00

My Mardi Gras beads were weighing me down!

2008-02-04T21:51:00.000-08:00

I love building stuff with my daddy. After we build it, I knock it all down!

2008-02-04T21:47:00.001-08:00

Even Princess liked my toys. Oh yeah, I renamed Annabelle. All of a sudden one day I decided to call her 'Pincess' (translation: Princess).

2008-02-04T21:28:00.000-08:00

And then, I woke up the next morning to find this note! Santa came down the chimmney ....he left some presents, ate some cookies, and left me a note.

2008-02-04T21:26:00.001-08:00

Look what I gave my daddy. I think he liked it.

2008-02-04T21:22:00.001-08:00

2008-02-04T21:15:00.000-08:00

Christmas at our house just gets better and better. I'm starting to understand this thing about Santa. He's just about the coolest person in the world, besides my mommy and daddy. And the baby Jesus. Almost every night, I would ask my mommy to take me to see Santa's house and then go just one more block to see baby Jesus and his mommy Mary. Today is Feb. 4 and I still talk about it! Of course, this Christmas was no different than the last two....well, if I could remember. Tons of stuff at my Nonnie and Gene's house. My entire family to enjoy it. Paper everywhere!

2007-12-19T16:34:00.000-08:00

It's becoming so much fun.... all the lights, music, presents!!!!! Everyday, when we are riding in the car, I ask to go by Santa's house and baby Jesus' house. I even have my own little people nativity to play with.

2007-12-19T16:32:00.001-08:00

2007-12-19T16:29:00.000-08:00

Merry Merry Christmas!!! I was so good for my Nonnie that Santa came to my house early. Look what he left me in my stocking....her name is Annabelle! Isn't she sweet?

2007-11-12T21:56:00.001-08:00

And we're off to tricker treatin'. That day I was a hobo and Kate was Minnie Mouse. Here are a few other pictures...

2007-11-12T21:51:00.000-08:00

Karen and her brother Gabrial dressed up too. And there is most of our group. It's hard to get everyone to look at the same time.

2007-11-12T21:48:00.000-08:00

Kate and I are good at making crazy faces!

2007-11-12T21:39:00.000-08:00

For Halloween my 'Mommies and Me' group had a Halloween party. Some of us dressed up....I was 'Max'. Just like the mascot at WSHS. See my tail!

2007-11-12T21:26:00.000-08:00

Oh my how time flies.... we got home from vacation and before we turned around it was Halloween. A couple of thing happened however, leading up to the 31st. On the 29th our loving puppy Jake passed away. Oh how we will miss him! He was our good buddy and was always around. Sometimes a grouch but oh how he would wiggle around with excitement when we would walk through the door. I am so glad that I got to love him like my mommy. He was 8 1/2 years old. We miss you Jake!

2007-10-19T23:03:00.000-07:00

Well, we decided to come home tonight (Friday). It was a little sad but I was really ready to come home and see my puppy Jake.....Molly and Riley too! I was so exhausted but still took time to read....haha (my mommy just had to show this)

Then we ate at the Rainforest Cafe. I was in a really, REALLY good mood. Sorry that the video is sideways but my mommy loves to watch me cut up and I don't do it often in public or if I see her video taping me.

2007-10-19T00:37:00.000-07:00

These pictures were chosen by me...I told my mommy what to take a picture of...my shoes, my hands...what a clever little director I am!

2007-10-19T00:31:00.000-07:00

After Animal Kingdom, we went to the marketplace at Downtown Disney. The first place we went...to buy me a POOH. I have discovered that I really really like POOH. Maybe because I was traumatized at the Crystal Palace the other day....but I love my mommy anyway! This Pooh is big enough to sit by me in the car too.

2007-10-19T00:29:00.001-07:00

MINNIE!

2007-10-19T00:17:00.001-07:00

If you are wondering why my mommy doesn't have any pictures of me beside a character. Well, it's because I don't want to be beside one of those cute characters. I like them from afar :o) REFERENCE BELOW: the incident with Eeyore :o)

2007-10-19T00:12:00.000-07:00

I gave out. After 3 straight days of NON STOP going, I finally gave in to a nap. A well-deserved nap. Oh well, I can watch it all over when we get home on video.

2007-10-19T00:07:00.000-07:00

Then we went on a safari...my mommy couldn't wait for me to see all of these creatures...well

2007-10-19T00:03:00.000-07:00

Look at Pocahontas...she loves all the animals and the forest too!

The 'Lion King' was a little loud for me at first but when I saw that elephant, I started getting excited!

2007-10-18T23:46:00.001-07:00

The third day, we went to the Animal Kingdom. It was so neat. I love to look at animals. Of course, the only animals I have seen up close are puppies and kitty cats. Man on man! Lions, tigers, and bears....oh my! Actually no bears but it sounded good. We were able to watch another wonderful parades....this one was during the day since this park closed early. Here are a few pics and video...enjoy.

This was sooooooooo neat. What a wonderful job .

2007-10-16T23:40:00.000-07:00

Once we arrived, I was able to go around and 'trick or treat' to different areas....how cool is that? Trick or treat with Mickey!

2007-10-16T23:37:00.000-07:00

This clip is of me and my daddy riding the 'tea cups'...
We also rode Dumbo but my mommy wasn't able to get a good clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BALk_uy2_uY

2007-10-16T23:34:00.000-07:00

This is where I spent the majority of the time ...tonight I had something to play with...

2007-10-16T23:29:00.000-07:00

Well, it's day two ...we showed up at Magic Kingdom around 7pm for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It was so much fun and the people. They say it's the slow time of the year. Someone lied ....my mommy said, of course.

My daddy even joined in the fun. He's such a good sport! My mommy did too but someone had to take the pictures. We had some taking a bit more professionally, that my mommy's in and we'll post when we can.

This was a long day but well worth it! Can't wait until tomorrow!!!!

2007-10-15T20:51:00.000-07:00

2007-10-15T20:49:00.000-07:00

There he is...the mouse I came to see!

2007-10-15T20:46:00.000-07:00

Yeahhhhh we were able to get pictures up...My first visit to Magic Kingdom!

2007-10-15T20:37:00.001-07:00

This next clip is me telling everyone HI right before the parade on Main St USA! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYhvyH8c2g

2007-10-15T20:34:00.000-07:00

This is an extremely short clip of me and my daddy on Cinderella's Carousel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK50fJB6M6s

2007-10-15T20:29:00.001-07:00

Ok..we're having trouble putting pictures up so we're gonna put up our links to videos...sorry. Pictures later!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzIqsRMfC10

This clip was at the Crystal Palace. All the Pooh characters marched around the resturant and then come to your table. I'm still not used to the big furry animals.

2007-10-11T22:30:00.000-07:00

We are two days from leaving for Disney World!!! My mommy and daddy keep talking about this person called Mickey Mouse. I've seen him on tv a couple of times, but tv doesn't hold my attention too long. I'd rather be outside or climbing ANYTHING! Anyway, I am getting excited. We started packing our clothes tonight....my mommy even bought a dvd player for the car. She thinks this my help me enjoy the 15 HOUR ride a bit better. We'll see.... Keep up on what's going on because my mommy is planning on posting pictures and video at night after fun-filled days from the 'happiest place on earth'. Hope to see you soon....

this is the only way i know to post video

2007-10-06T14:08:00.000-07:00

About two weeks ago my mommy put me in a pagent. Usually, she would rush home and put pictures on here to show. She would have this time too....if I would have posed for pictures. I thought I would be a big girl and walk on this thing called a stage. Ya know, in front of all these people. It looks a lot easier than it is. Bascially, my mommy had to carry me the ENTIRE time on stage, while I looked the opposite direction from the audience. yadda yadda yadda....no pictures. I did receive a green ribbon. It was just a little fair pagent for fun. Well, then last Wednesday, we put our puppy Jake in the pet show. I did much better...I didn't whine one bit and I looked at the audience the entire time I was showing my puppy. Did I mention we got to dress him up....like a pirate! ARRRRRH! He won a blue ribbon and a white ribbon.

2007-10-02T22:44:00.001-07:00

weeeeeeee....the fair is in town this week. I love the carousel! The teacups were fun too. I hope we get to go back...maybe tomorrow afternoon to see the chickens, rabbits, cows, and whatever else there is to see....it's all so neat!

2007-10-02T22:40:00.001-07:00

Sometimes a little perseverance goes a long way!

2007-10-02T22:35:00.001-07:00

Back in September, Stratton was asked to be on the homecoming court at her high school. Look at her in pink! That same day, Danna was in Lafayette being honored at an academic pep rally. Way to go my girls!

2007-08-25T20:41:00.000-07:00

This picture of Danna was taken the only time she wasn't giggling....

2007-08-25T20:37:00.000-07:00

Right before we were finished....I thought I should have my picture made sitting on the stairs with my feet on the brick.

2007-08-25T20:34:00.001-07:00

2007-08-25T20:30:00.000-07:00

...and then my mommy had fun with the camera Here are a few of me and my girls! I love them OH SO much!

2007-08-25T20:28:00.000-07:00

and of course JenJen for Jeananne...she's so crazy!

2007-08-25T20:25:00.001-07:00

Dandan....that's how I pronounce Danna.

2007-08-25T20:23:00.000-07:00

Statton and Ginsy ...this is how I pronounce Stratton and Lindsay.

2007-08-25T20:18:00.000-07:00

Everyone likes to watch me and I love it when they do! When I'm at Nonnie and Gene's, I can pretty much do anything. surprise surprise!

2007-08-25T20:09:00.001-07:00

2007-08-25T20:03:00.000-07:00

Everyone had fun.... There is my daddy, Mr Elveston (uncle danny's dad), Danny, and Gene enjoying the heat???They were crazy...and then on the other side is Jeananne and Jake. SMILE!

2007-08-25T19:46:00.000-07:00

August and the first part of September, usually means birthday, birthday, birthday.... First, we start with Stratton. Then Gene and Nonnie and end it with Jeananne on the 3rd of September. Today, we had one big party. We had boiled shrimp. My mommy warmed me something else to eat. But I wanted a shrimp and actually, they were pretty dern good. Then we celebrated by singing and eating this WONDERFUL chocolate dobashe cake with homeade ice cream.

2007-08-25T19:40:00.001-07:00

This past Friday, was the first pep-rally of the year at Stratton's school. She's a senior this year. I'm ready for the football games to begin, but ready for some cool weather. Maybe it will start cooling down soon! Don't you like my 'pig-tails'? I love it when my mommy plays with my hair.

2007-08-16T19:31:00.001-07:00

My mommy had fun with the camera this afternoon....

2007-08-16T19:27:00.001-07:00

And last but not least....guess who graduated with her masters!?! Oh yeah, did I forget to tell you that my Lindsay has a new job and can buy my TONS of stuff!!! That's the best part! (my new phrase ....dat part)

2007-08-16T19:24:00.000-07:00

We celebrated my Granny B's (my daddy's step mom) the other day....Happy Birthday!!!! ...oops, where is my shirt? My mommy didn't want me to get anything on my shirt.

2007-08-16T19:06:00.000-07:00

Then there was the 4th of July. Look at earlier post and look how I've grown....compared to a watermelon.

2007-08-16T18:52:00.000-07:00

Well, this is a start. My mommy says that it will take a long while until we're finished. And the yard...well, that 's a WHOLE 'nother story :o)

2007-08-16T18:47:00.001-07:00

WHAT A MESS!!!!!

2007-08-16T18:44:00.001-07:00

And then (two months later) came the big move.....UGH!

2007-08-16T18:41:00.000-07:00

2007-08-16T18:40:00.001-07:00

2007-08-16T18:34:00.000-07:00

Around the first of May, my mommy and daddy decided that we needed a new house. Well, we moved and man, did we have a lot of work in store. It needed everything done to it....

2007-08-16T18:27:00.000-07:00

Yes, yes, yes....it's been a while but I have to say that a BUNCH has been going on since April. I'm sure, the few of you that read this journal, my Mommy keeps for me thought that we had stopped but we're back! After Easter, my MaMa Linda (my Daddy's mama) got really sick. She had to go be with Jesus about a week after Easter. We miss her but we know that she feels a lot better. I just know that she is definitely one of my guardian angels. Love you MaMa Linda.

2007-04-09T22:52:00.000-07:00

Finally...the sun came out but it was still a little chilly. Look at all of us at Easter...just wish Jeananne and Danna were in the picture too! Love y'all!

2007-04-09T22:48:00.000-07:00

After the bunny....we got ready for church. I love going to Sunday School!

2007-04-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

Look what I found at the end of the string....the Easter Bunny left me all kind of stuff....mmmm a chocolate bunny!

2007-04-09T22:41:00.002-07:00

I woke up Easter morning with a string tied to my toe....so I got out of the bed and followed the string...

2007-04-09T22:41:00.001-07:00

2007-04-09T22:38:00.000-07:00

I love my daddy....he's trying to show me how to take a picture with my new camera.

2007-04-09T22:36:00.000-07:00

Told ya I'd get her back...

2007-04-09T22:31:00.000-07:00

ONE TWO THREE.....Happy Birthday to JOSIE!

2007-04-09T22:18:00.000-07:00

We had cotten candy and face painting too! Look what Danna did to my face...I got her back too!

2007-04-09T22:11:00.000-07:00

I got to have a carnival party....Stratton is giving me pointers on how to jump in this huge bouncy and Danna is showing me how to act crazy in front of the camera...

2007-04-09T22:09:00.000-07:00

Jeananne and Danna made it to my party! I miss them so much because they live in Lafayette...but I knew they would make time for me!

2007-04-09T21:58:00.000-07:00

I finally made it to TWO!!!!! I am now 24 pounds and 34 inches tall. That's a big difference from 2 pounds 3 ounces and 14 inches long! Hard to believe it's been two years and I have definitely not missed a step. My mommy says that I am getting faster everyday and into EVERYTHING! I find stuff that she hasn't seen in a long time. I am talking more...but some people have no idea what I am saying...what's up with that? I like to list everyone's name and emphasize on the word 'and' when reciting my list. Mommy AND Daddy And Jake And Riwee (Riley)....it's really funny! I like to boss...my mommy thinks it's cute but will probably have show me how to tone it down a bit, the older I get. Some times they call me "Ms Priss Pot".

2007-04-09T21:52:00.000-07:00

Now that it is warmer outside, I play ALOT more outside :o) And USED to it would take a while to go to sleep but not lately. My mommy let's me play all I want to...you will see in future pictures, I'm sure. Oh how I sleep in all different directions too!

2007-04-09T21:49:00.000-07:00

It's finally Spring! Look at the flowers....I love to pick them!

2007-04-09T21:39:00.000-07:00

I love to go watch Stratton play softball.... what a face she can make!

2007-02-28T16:53:00.000-08:00

My Gene takes me riding on the 'mule' and I love it!

2007-02-28T16:41:00.000-08:00

It's hard to believe but in one month, I will be two years old.

2007-02-28T16:37:00.000-08:00

I think that I am big enough to drive!

2007-01-30T21:18:00.000-08:00

On the left is Kate and me and on the right is Peyton and me. We have so much fun at 'mommies and me'!

2007-01-30T21:17:00.000-08:00

weeeeeeeeee....I finally made it up the 'jumpin' thing' and there I am coming down the slide. I DID IT!
