The weekend of 1/16-18/08 we took a road trip to Granny's house in West Monroe, LA. David did well on the five hour car ride there (slept most of the time). The ride back didn't go as well, but we won't get into that. While we were there we had a great time. David had another Christmas, we met our new cousin Mallory, and played with the boys. It's so much fun visiting with everybody.
Our new cousin Mallory. Isn't she a cutie!
Nana brought David a surprise....Mardi Gras!
What's in the corner? Is that David's very own King Cake? Why, yes it is!
Yummy!
Climbing on Papaw (Mick, Mason, and David)
Jeremy and Janet came up with an art project present for Granny. They got a tile and had all the great grandkids put their painted handprint and footprint on it to make a garden. They were just waiting on David. So here he is adding to the artwork.
The finished product.
David was introduced to the Dowdy tradition of "swinging". He started out in a blanket, and loved it! As he gets older I'm sure he will follow in the footsteps of his mom and aunts; he'll lay on the floor and raise his arms and legs in the air (this is the international gesture for "swing me").
Granny saved a pair of overalls that Papaw (Mindi's daddy) wore when he was a kid. Here's David wearing Papaw's overalls.
Walking in the leaves
Mindi saw a picture of a little boy wearing overalls and hanging from a clothesline. She thought it would be cute to do her own version on Granny's clothesline. Not anything like the picture she saw, but it's cute!
