Fall Photo shoot with Melinda

Fall Fun

Here are some pics mommy has taken of me while I was playing in the leaves and on the playground. I love to jump, run, and take all my clothes off and go streaking through the house. I also love to put on "music shows". I am very rough. Even though I am rough I still "try" to think of others, for example I asked my great grandma Smallwood to go to the park with me today. I also gave my Papa Byrd a sucker when he said his was all gone and he sure would like a sucker. I always remember when someone has a boo-boo and ask them if its all better. Here are some pics from this month.



This is right before I threw all these leaves on Mommy, haha!

Halloween 2009

This year I told mommy I wanted to be a skunk. I loved being a skunk and would even spray people! I also liked to say pee you! I made my usual rounds and ended the night playing with my cousin Tristan. Here are some pics!

This is me with my certificate and five dollars for getting Runner Up from a costume contest at the Runaway Ranch.

What I'm talking about

This is Dayona'a mommy reporting on some things she has been saying recently. She had been watching kung fu panda and came into her nana and papa Smallwoods bedroom and said, "lets kick some whiny butt!" She also told Jason and me that later that night. She told me she spanked daddy and that it was an accident. Nana Smallwood got her a new backpack, which she took to Felicias, when they got home Nana discovered Day had filled it with blocks. When she asked her where the blocks came from Day said, "I think they might be Felicia's." The other day she told me she was "going to work." When I ask her why she said, "for the money". When I ask her where she said "for papa". Then I ask her what she was going to do. She put her boots on and said, "go to the barn, with sheep, and pigs, and cows." She told me it was for "Papa Byrd." Jason and I are treated night to Day Day's Music Show. She usually sings then bows and says thank you thank you. She will also tell us if we forget to clap. Right now, we just got back from a b-day party, and Day is singing happy birthday to barney asking me where his presents and cupcake are. This girl keeps us on our toes. You never know what she might say. Yes Day, Barney is special!

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to the pumpkin patch. I liked the animals as always, but I have a new favorite this year. I really liked a little red "house". I kept calling it my house. Mommy and Daddy had to knock on the door, so I could let them in. I told them I didn't have any toys in my house. I fed the cow, goats, donkey, and miniature horse. I also picked out my own pumpkin, which I kept trying to throw like a ball. On the way there and back I kept singing Old MacDonald had a Farm. I love to sing. It was so much fun. I didn't want to leave "my house!"

Trip to the ER

Well I went to the ER last Tuesday night. Mommy and Daddy took me around 10:00 pm, and we didn't leave until 4:00 in the morning on Wednesday. I hit my head on the edge of a rocking chair. I didn't fall asleep that night until around 2 in the morning. My boo-boo didn't stop me from singing, jumping, and just "giving Mommy heart attacks" in general while waiting in the waiting room. The doctor said it did need stitches. Dr. Lamb did a great job on my stiches. Daddy and a nurse had to hold me down. I cried, especially at first, but then I was a very brave girl. The nurse told me that in just a little bit she would show me my stitches and that helped me to calm down. I have three stitches. I am very proud of my boo-boo.

32 months old

This is me and mommy in front of daddy's crane at 50 Penn place.




Me and Kenna. I love Kenna. "She's my family"!

Mommy has been really surprised at some of the words I am saying right now. I have said telescope, interesting, delicious, tasty, and disgusting. My daddy has been gone for 2 weeks now and I miss him very much. When I was on the phone with him the other day I was drawing and I said "I draw a heart for you daddy". I actually drew a heart. I like to "write my name" (scribbles). I know circle and triangle, and sometimes square. I am learning my colors too. I know red, blue, and pink really well. Sometimes I know green, yellow, and orange. I can read 4 words, tiger, hi, dog, and elephant. I love to throw balls, race, play doctor, play brothers and sisters at school, and have picnics in my room.
