Davis likes to kick-back when he's watching a movie and what's a movie without a bubble intermission of course, following the movie, it's time for dancing

Davis looks good in any color, but brown really seems to bring out his big dark eyes. I think everybody has gotten used to the short hair cut, but next time (and in the future) it won't be as drastic. A nice medium length cut that will keep him looking sharp is the plan. The little boy is still fascinated by eyes, eye lashes, and eye brows. He likes to try to touch them as well, so you have to be ready with a guiding hand, or else risk upsetting the little boy. (here's a sepia tone photo for Daddy!)

It was nice weather for being outside this weekend, so we planned a mini-outing at Chaffee. A dead-end road with a bridge over a stream, a little hill, and a small patch of daffodils made for an ideal spot for the little boy to run around and explore. Quite a few of the daffodils by the burned-down barracks did return, but there's some work being done in the area, so we steered clear. Davis is fascinated with shadows. Just mention the word, and he starts waving his hand, looking around for it. He's a pretty inventive little dude, finding places where he can race his cars -fast. We had to literally drag Davis off this hill (after he had run up and down at least half a dozen times).

Davis spotted a monster truck while we were out to eat, and he just had to have his picture taken with it! tires as big as Davis! here he is saying 'hitch!'

Daddy's at work, so the little boy has to operate the TV remote all by himself Daddy's at work, so the little boy has to check the batteries in his toys -all by himself Daddy's at work, so the little boy has to practice his band instruments all by himself

Davis was a dancing machine at the ballgame little boy was sooo tired on the way to Neosho (the flower box city) big steps in big shoes little boy has his own little travel DVD player (never leave home without it) tow-mater from the animated movie 'cars' is one of his favorite characters (Davis sounds so much like a true southern hick when he says tow-mater -really slow and drawn out, it's impossible not to chuckle) Finally, it's nite-nite time.

It was windy and cold when we went to the ballgame Saturday. The $40 razorback blankets being sold by the vendors seemed like a tempting deal, but we settled for $20 of hot cocoa and hotdogs instead. There was a good size crowd, and the hogs got out to a quick 10 to 1 lead over Georgia. The little boy was happy to be at the ballgame! He met a fellow little razorback fan ...soon after the 4th inning, one pitcher gave up 7 runs to the Bulldogs, and there was more to follow and the Razorback batters couldn't muster anything more than long fly outs Davis was a little dejected by the final score, but we'll enjoy warmer weather and a closer parking spot for our next trip to Baum Stadium!

Davis really likes his new blocks. He sees the box of the open sided cubes that fit inside each other and yells "stack 'em!" With a little help, he's able to build a block tower as tall as himself! He does have a steady hand, and always places at least the last two blocks without any assistance. As soon as the last block goes up, Davis can hardly contain his excitement as he knocks the tower down. Of course he likes to build obstacles for his monster trucks to jump over too.

First thing when Davis goes to see his Papa and Nana, he's looking for his monster truck toy. He gets in a real hurry, running down the sidewalk. If it's nice outside, he gets to play with it in the front yard. heading out of the garage for some monster-size fun! the little boy hard at play

During the last round of snow showers, Davis took it upon himself to check outside every 5 to 10 minutes. "It's snowing!" He was amazed and delighted, seeing everything turn white. Davis hasn't been turned loose to play in the snow, yet...Maybe next year. Sometimes the little boy would stay at the window so long that his cheeks and nose turned red!

Last weekend was so beautiful we swung by and picked up Bailey to go to the park and the "super slide" with us! It was 80 degrees out that day and we got a little hot, and it was very crowded, but still managed to have some fun. Now Davis recognizes Ben Geren park as the Super Slide park and he can see them when we drive by, which is pretty often. I may start taking a different route, so he doesn't get upset when we don't stop. Bailey was a lot of help making sure Davis got up the stairs to the slide and stayed right behind him the entire time. I really appreciated her being there, so I could take some pics and had a great helper! Davis really likes the bumpy slides the best now, here he's watching Bailey fly down it right after him, he was so fast I didn't catch him! We are getting adjusted to Marc's new job and slowly trying to get into a routine around here! Thanks for stopping by!
