WILD after fair lights, sounds and fun;
a biscuit, pizza and funnel cake.

Good thing it only comes once a year!

2009-10-13T21:11:00.000-05:00

So high!

Checking out downtown...

Eating again. Pizza.

Wanting a bite of Mama's funnel cake...

2009-10-13T21:10:00.000-05:00

Taking it all in...

"Look at that!!"

2009-10-13T21:08:00.000-05:00

"He got me!"

"Okay, who's next?"

"Yay, a Zedonk! Just what I came to see!" :)

Fair!

2009-10-13T21:07:00.000-05:00

"What is all this noise?"

"Mmmmm, free fair biscuit shoved in my mouth!"

"Here little lamb...where is Mary?"

We are bad role models....

2009-08-16T14:18:00.001-05:00

**Please excuse the fresh from nap hair & no britches!**

This is what I found when checking on a babbling Whit this weekend.
She was obviously on the phone with someone very important and is ready to change the channel (she doesn't even watch tv!) at the next commercial break.

Silly girl.

Maley

2009-08-16T14:13:00.001-05:00

Swimming lessons are almost over...
this is what Whit does as soon as we walk in each week.

2009-07-29T10:38:00.003-05:00

After the reunion we spent the week at Sandestin with the whole Davis bunch.
We played hard at the beach, pool and Baytowne!

We even had family pics made by this incredible photographer.
You should try her out on your next Scenic Highway 30A adventure!

I am not kidding...

2009-07-29T10:37:00.001-05:00

This is what I saw while driving down Highway 90 in Ocean Springs.

Seriously, it was very much like planning a wedding!

Terrible Teeth

2009-07-08T20:31:00.003-05:00

What do you get when you have 4 new teeth starting
to pop through your almost 14 month old baby's gums?

A baby fusspot and a Mama fusspot.

Whitney refused to eat any part of her meal at Primos this evening, and she didn't stop there.
She then threw every bit on the ground...

Awesome.

I was so embarrassed, I asked for a broom before we left.

We took Whitney and Lucy to Jellystone for a playdate! I think these two girls have been missing each other since summer has been in full swing!

It was our first trip to Pelahatchie.
Who would have known that 19 miles down the road such fun existed!?!

2009-06-21T21:21:00.000-05:00

Dada,
Our family is richly blessed because you
undeniably love the Lord, me and our sweet, precious baby girl.
Your selfless service is appreciated more than you will ever know...
our days together are priceless.
Thank you for just being you.

quote of the day...

2009-06-20T16:25:00.002-05:00

Kara: "What do we want to eat tonight when the Ellis & Westbooks families come over for dinner?"
Brady: "What do we want to eat or is it more like what do you feel like cooking?"
Kara: "Well, both really."
Brady: in a sincere voice " I am really not trying to be mean, but you really need to learn how to cook something."

Poor hubby.
Maybe I do need to learn some kitchen basics...
I think I could probably boil water, I will have to try it out. :)

stepping...

2009-06-15T15:10:00.002-05:00

W took her very first real steps yesterday at Bryan & Leslie's house!

Bryan set her on her feet and she walked off...
until we scared her to death by screaming "YAY!"

She has done it a few more times...

I will keep you posted on progress!

Just Beachy

2009-06-14T20:24:00.004-05:00

We visited Orange Beach with the Hammett's last week...
The girls had fun with each other, the sun & sand!

Ninny & her MSU roomie (starting in August) Molly came to play with us too.

Can't wait for the 2nd Annual!

Beddy Bye-Bye

2009-06-10T11:53:00.002-05:00

Do you or someone you love own the Bonavita Cabana Crib?

We do and we love it....
however,
IT HAS BEEN RECALLED!!

Due to a faulty drop side which can injure sweet baby children.
We thought the messed up side was due to, umm, Daddy's lack of following directions.
All that fussing he got and it wasn't his fault...oops. Sorry honey.

Call 866.688.9009 or more information!

love.

Coast visits not only bring fun times with family and friends,
but seagulls, seashells, piers and pelicans.
I am very thankful sandy days will always be in reach for our girl.

Pity the Peter's

2009-05-29T12:41:00.001-05:00

Here are a few shards of pottery that I had Dick pack up...
just in case I got the urge to conquer the Peter's puzzle.

Sleepy Song

2009-05-24T14:43:00.004-05:00

May Days

2009-05-17T20:28:00.006-05:00

The Davis Family has had some
most exciting May days so far...

New Orleans Trip (see previous post)
Ella Wesley's first dance recital
Mother's Day- My first one. I waited 28.5 years to have such an incredible day. I must be living right for God to have blessed us with such a miracle. Our little Whin-tey Davis is truly something fabulous. I love her.

Mother's Day 2009

4. 5.12.09...our 2nd wedding anniversary

Richard Brady Davis, you rock my world.
Thank you for being kind, devoted, strong, steadfast, generous, loving, determined;
and also a, diaper changer, milk cup maker, fence builder, tear wiper, hard worker, lover not a fighter, giver not a taker...
and we can't forget thanks for being my baby daddy! :)

5. 5.12.09...Whitney's 1st Birthday(s)- We celebrated with a Davis family birthday party for Whitney and Anna Kate (cousins born 2 days apart), cupcakes on her birthday and a Servov family birthday party in Ocean Springs...it was a weeklong event!

(and i must make a statement about clothing, again.
whit had on a precious dress, but quickly became filthy. that is why she is in panties and a bib!!)

OS party...

had some serious rain scares, had to call the police to remove the homeless man sleeping on a bench, a 21 month old Brian literally rolled down the gazebo stairs, my phone went all crazy....

due to all of this,
I missed a wedding shower for one of my besties Jennifer.
I am so sorry, I have your gift. I will make it up to you!!

AND I wrapped up the event breaking SEVERAL Peter's Pottery pieces...
I was very close to tears.

But while cleaning up the pieces I looked a this baby face and...
everything was a-okay.

WRD 1 year stats--19 pounds 5 ounces; 27 3/4 inches

The May madness continues...

5 days left of school, whew
back to the Coast next weekend for some Memorial Day plans with friends
Kelsey's high school graduation in OS next Tuesday
Brady's 10 year class reunion the 30th

Fun times that we are blessed to celebrate, no doubt...
but this family is tired!

Dear Linda,

2009-05-05T21:16:00.001-05:00

I hear you are looking for a new mommy face of Maley.
Don't you think these would sell lots of lessons?

P.S.
Daddy,
DON'T BRING THE CAMERA AGAIN!!!!! :)

Whaley

2009-05-05T21:11:00.002-05:00

Guess who loved her first swim lesson?
She is going to learn to swim like a whaley at Maley!

Thanks for surprising us Daddy, Aunt Les and EW!

Wild Weekend

2009-05-05T20:48:00.003-05:00

Friday we went to New Orleans for our first Mommy & Daddy
getaway since our sweet bundle of baby joy.
We decided on The Big Easy so we could also celebrate this girl's
28th birthday at a Kentucy Derby party.
(Yay for entering the blogosphere!)

We ate too much here, (sat at the corner table President Ronald Reagan always sat in) and here and here to name a few yummy spots, walked all over and rode the St. Charles Streetcar to Uptown every time we went...
so fabulous!

Until my husband started acting like this... :)

fun for the little one

2009-05-03T18:39:00.002-05:00

Whitney's newest trick is turning the water on in our bathtub.
She can't reach the actual water, but squeals in delight at the
very idea of being under that great waterfall.

How do we teach her that drips make gallons? :)

Wedding Fun

2009-04-27T19:13:00.002-05:00

I got to visit with some fun friends this weekend...
we had a Peter's and McCarty Party for Jennifer Holliday.
The wedding is going to be here before we know it.
(2 months today! Woo-hoo!)

50

2009-04-27T18:16:00.001-05:00

50 weeks..translates into 2 weeks until the big 1st birthday.
Ohhh weee. It is so hard to believe.

Tickles

2009-04-16T20:23:00.010-05:00

Tickle attack.

Aunt Darla was the best at these growing up.
Looks like W will love them just as much as her Mommy!

Shhh, don't tell!

2009-04-13T20:40:00.002-05:00

We turned Whit's seat front facing this weekend...
about a month early.
Who would have thought it would make
this girl so stinkin' happy...
she grins like this the whole time she is riding. Hilarious.

Ninny

2009-04-13T20:26:00.005-05:00

Whit sends a great big thank you to her Ninny
who came up this weekend and surprised her with a
blue plastic pool for Easter (sorry neighbors!).
W thinks her pool is pretty darn fabulous.

Note...this was taken the same day we visited the zoo.
I promise my hubby and baby girl have full closets...they don't wear the same thing everyday!! :)

Who's at the Zoo?

2009-03-24T17:20:00.001-05:00

Whitney l.o.v.e.d her first zoological experience.

Dear Nikki,

2009-03-11T21:19:00.004-05:00

My mom tells me that sometimes you check this blog thing...
I am so glad you get to watch me grow!
And thanks for always saying such sweet things about me!!

But we were thinking, Brian is getting big and before we know it Shelby will be here...
so why don't you start a blog so we can check on y'all??
Mama says it is really easy...come on, try it out!

Hugs and kisses,
Whitney

Whitney has had a few firsts lately...

and this is the first post in a really long time!

After some family members prodding, ah hemm,
I decided it was finally time to update this nonsense again.

We have been in the road like CRAZY lately...
the beginning of the year is usually not so hectic.
I don't know what in the world is going on!

First Valentine's Day

About to open her Valentine from Mommy & Daddy in her
snazzy heart pj's from Grammy & Poppa...

Look what Daddy made his girls...
PINK BREAKFAST!

We thought we'd be proactive (see what that gets us) and
take W's passy away during the day. No passy to nursery at all.

By Sunday look what she mastered.
FIRST proficient thumb sucking.

Baby-1; Parents-o
We figured, why start one habit to quit another, so she is back in passy action.

First game of hide and you better not find my snack Mama...
notice the goldfish in the tiny compartment.

First time (and last time for a while) to feed self dinner...
not so productive, but fun, mess.

First Mardi Gras parade...
actually, the first ever night parade in Ocean Springs.

First trip to play at the park.
Loved some slide action!

Dress me up!

2009-02-09T16:38:00.001-06:00

EW came to Uncle Dick and Aunt Kaba's for a bit Sunday.
See what Whit missed during naptime!

2009-02-04T19:25:00.003-06:00

Baby fun in the coast sun.

This is WRD's all black base for her "Go Steelers!" outfit Sunday...
She cheered on the Steelers in true Yankee style.

Christmas Crazies

2009-01-02T20:17:00.001-06:00

This is Whitney's "This Christmas stuff is crazy!!" face.

We had a total of 5 Christmases from Lexington to the Coast...

Whitney got many fun things: noisy toys, push toys, learning toys
and many sweet things: engraved heirloom teether,
a homemade duckie from Pluto Plantation, Add-A-Pearl,
Mint Juleps, Spode China, sweet ornaments...

We count our blessings daily...
Thank you friends and family for a fabulous 2008!

2008-12-17T21:10:00.002-06:00

WRD follow up:
Whit's 1 ear infection turned to both ears infected.
Tubes scheduled for Tuesday.

Sick indeed!

2008-12-15T19:07:00.002-06:00

We brought Whitney to the doctor for the 2nd time in 4 days...
lil' bit has RSV (runny nose, coughing, wheezing)
and an ear infection (fever, irritability, clawing at ear)
this does not make for fun times in the Davis household.

She has an ENT appointment Wednesday to schedule tubes...
for those counting she has had 5 ear infections in her short little life.

Please pray this helps our little bundle of baby lovin'.

Partying Parentals

2008-12-14T14:10:00.008-06:00

This weekend my mom came to town to keep our baby girl while we went to a couple
Christmas parties...

Friday night had a party at the Johnston home in Tidewater...
we had a big time at the event and then also enjoyed a little after party snack with the
Jones, North and Dimon families.

Saturday night we went to Starry Night Christmas Gala, a fundraiser for...

Oh wee. We had fun.
Brady is currently taking a nap, he is not fully recovered.

She will crawl soon, right??? :)

Where is Whitney?

2008-11-22T13:46:00.000-06:00

She is lost in the marsh...
how far we will go for a Christmas card photo!

So much to say...

2008-11-20T21:34:00.006-06:00

Oh goodness, I haven't been able to squeeze blog time into my schedule these days.
It is terrible I know, I must do better!

We celebrated my 28th on the 12th.
28 just doesn't seem to have a fabulous ring to it.
Almost 30 and class reunion this summer is all I can think about. Craziness.Here is a little look into the birthday evening. Brady and Whitney baked me a pink cake (2 layers, I may add. Props to the hubby.) the night before while I was at a mini baby shower for sweet Ansleigh who is welcoming her 3rd baby...under 3.5 years old!!
I was so surprised when the Hubs whipped it out.

Yes, our daughter is wearing a camo t-shirt and socks. She spent the afternoon with Redneck Dad, he thought she looked great I am sure.
I can't believe I am sharing this with the world.
Don't hold it against her, it is our fault. :)

To accompany my new ripe age of 28, I entered the 4 eyed club.

The lady cracked up at me as I placed my new tortoise framed glasses on and shouted with excitement as I realized what I had been missing!!!
If I could only remember to wear them every day...

The Whit turned a whopping 6 months. It is insane how quickly time flies.
We love her more and more as the days pass and are in constant awe of her wonder.

She weighed in at just above 16 pounds (50th%ile)
and 25 inches long (50th%ile).
She sits, rolls, cackles and brings joy to our lives every day.

We are heading to the Coast for Turkey Day this weekend...
(which translates into Brady missing opening day of deer season, so sorry!)
then on to Lexington for true live Thanksgiving with the whole Davis clan.

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words,
but to live by them.
~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

New Cousin

2008-11-09T20:34:00.001-06:00

She is a doll, and Jenna & Jason are doing a great job in their new role as parents.

Now all they have to do is start a blog!

Yay for you Whitney!

This is what Whitney looks like with a fever virus...
all our sweet girl wanted was to be held.
We were in Lexington for an engagement party this past weekend--
thank goodness for the help of Grammy and Poppa to help us make it through!
It looks like she has her Poppa right where she wants him!

Happy Fall Y'all!
