At the first sign of Spring David was ready to run outside!!! He would run.... then kick the water. Stop then turn around and do it again.

Whenever David sees a computer now he says, Computer Pa-Pa. This is a picture of him talking to Pa-Pa on Skype.
David loves to drive his friends around.

We went to see Baby Olivia in Houston in March. I learned my first color "Pink" this is the color of the baby's passi. I was a big helper always making sure that Oliva had the passi whether she wanted it or not. David was gental and practiced soft touches almost all of the time.

Auntie Ann and Mommy tried to honor Grandma's request for a joint picture of both of her grandchildren. With two little one's on different schedules we were not very sucessful, but we did manage to get this picture.

This was David's second trip to Moody Gardens. Minus the Macaws he loved it.

He enjoyed digging at the Beach.



The flight home was delayed for hours, but David made friends with a couple of brothers. They played football, climbed, and watched the planes.

David still loves shoes.


Overall David is doing a good job with Allie. Here he is petting her gently.

David loves pouring!!

He helps pour everything. Poor Allie...

Cory attended his first CME confernce at Snowmass in January. The first day was georgous!!

The second day had room for improvement. It was very cold and there were wind gusts of up to 45 miles per hour. There was 9 inches of powder on the ground when we started skiing this day and it kept snowing all day. For most people (including Cory) this would have been perfect skiing conditions. For me it meant that I was up to my knees in snow. I wouldn't call if fun, but it did build confidence. By the end of the day even Cory said, "Next year - Mexico"

Cory's parents came with us and watched David. The best thing was a big picture window where David could watch snowplows, tractors, and trucks drive by. I wish we had a video to post. It was so cute when he would stand on his tip-toes arms reaching high and in his deepest voice saying "BBBBIIIIIIIGGGGGGG"

Unfortanetly there wasn't much for him to do, but he got creative...

David also invented a fun game with the closet : ) All in all it meant a lot of family time.

We came home to more snow. Of course David wanted to help!

David continues to refine his cooking skills : ) It was so cute to see him using his little spoon to stir. He just watched as the brownies dripped. He would put the spoon back in the batter and raise it up just to watch it drip again.

These two pictures are of David "helping" Pa-Pa

David likes to copy mommy in the morning. It was a little messy, but I couldn't take it away. He had so much fun!!

Miss Ginny watch little man and Cory, Mom, Dad, and I drove about an hour to go skiing. It wasn't Utah or Colorado, but we all had a good time!

David and Daddy were on pins and neddles watching the MU v. KU game.

David had a great Christmas. Unfortuatley I can't find all the pictures! This is him playing with his new "DRIILLLLL"

Uncle Travis enhanced a picture of David. David clearly appreciated the gift. He said baby and kissed the picture over and over.
