Wow, I prefer every pic you've ever taken of her, York. She just seems natural and in her element in your shots.

I'll second that, York captures her natural charm in her own element. :thumb:

Thanks guys and girls! The holidays are coming and she will be 3 years! A lot a pictures with a lot of presents! She really wanted a tractor to play with... Im curious about her reaction on me getting her one! :D

Here is the first one! Sinterklaas came and gave a lot of presents!
But to explane that she gets more from santa Claus is harder for her...
Because her birthday is on X-mas , we'll move that to a coupple days later... To prevent her from beiing too confused! :D

Happy Birthday, Christmas Girl!

She's really a cutie, York!

Aw York... I went back to the beginning of the thread to compare the early shots and most of them are gone. (But when there is one, the difference is amazing. How humans develop. Just amazing.)

Indeed! She developed real good! She's more beautiful every day!
One of the early days... Where does time go so fast? ;)

She's such a doll! :)

Only 3 years from helpless & totally dependent to Boss of the house. :lol2:

Ha! Haaa! I love these. :)

What a sweetheart!! *swoon*

:D :D Oh so right! ;)

Hèhè, we promised her a new room for X-mas, with a big bed!
She asked if it was as big as daddy....haha I said it would be a lot bigger.... But she needed to try dad....

Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family, York.

Thanks Sundae! To all of you to.... and a great beginning of the new year!
Yesterday was a hectic day.... But nice.... ;)
Here's my birthdaygirl and her cake

There's poo on that cake... I mean Pooh on that cake. :haha:

Haha, and you know what? It tasted even better than it sounds!

Ooooo--York, that pic (Most Favored Daughter and Kitty Cat) up there is sooooooo cute! Congrats!

Its freezing out here. Most of the party's are over... ( for us ) For kids everyday is a party! We went to an indoor playground today...
A themepark around Studio 100. They make tv-things like Bumba, Piet Piraat, K3..... ( i guess nobody knows what im talking about )
She enjoyed herself by watching the other kids... I also enjoyed myself by watching the.... :D

My word, they grow up quickly over there. What have you been feeding her?!

She's a lovely young lady!

(She has your eyes! An will likely use them to dangerous effect.)

Enjoy them while you're still Invited to the daily parties. :D

York Sir, is it in your plans to create any more of these beautiful youngsters?

Wolf, everyone says she s got my eyes... Big and brown. Haha , i wonder how many hearts she will melt like that! btw, i feed het everything i eat.... :D

Bruce, i do enjoy al the party's... feels like im 3 again! :D

Undertoad, its a bit of a long story. I always wanted kids but when i started seeing my GF i knew she didnt want any. I was sure it wouldnt last if she didnt change her mind. But she did because she loves me and knows im a fan of all kids! ;) A second one, no thats not gonna happen but we' r both very happy with our girl. My GF is so happy she agreed with me.... :D

We went to the Winter WOnderland in one of our closest cities (Milton Keynes) a rew weeks before Christmas. It was in the large exhibition space at the end of the shopping centre, so we didn't need kids to get in :)

I don't want children myself, but if I could have conjured up a 3-7 year old just for an hour I would have done. The carousel, the helter skelter, Santa's train... all wonderful. And the shining eyes, and the Dads running to get into position to take photos from the best angle. My parents had to drag me away.

Your daughter looks perfectly sanguine on the ride. I hope she will give her Daddy the pleasure of hearing her scream on a rollercoaster one day!

I hope so too! It means a lot of fun for me too! :D

"Drie koningen". Three Kings, on the 6th of january people celebrate Balthazar, Caspar and Melchior over here. And i took the crown for Tess! :D

Queen for a day?
Nope, Queen forever.;)

Yep, it just made her extra aware.... :D
Winter has arrived! It was -20° Celsius over here.... Bbrrrr...
Its about - 13° now so its getting hotter but not enough to melt the snow from monday.... Kinda good, now at 3 years old she really knows what snow is! :p

Did you make snow angels or a snowman?

Nope, nothing at all! We've tried to make some but the snow just fel apart. It was not sticky so hardly possible to make something out of it. The fact that i could write my name in snow was funny enough for her! :D

Ahem, York - I think Bruce was referring to something like this.

http://www.tetongravity.com/usergall...ow%20Angel.jpg

Yup, that's a good snow angel. They're even better when the snow's not sticky enough for a snowman.

Ooops, ive never seen something like that! Looks nice, will try next year! Seems easy and simple, why didnt i think of that? :rolleyes:

Yes York, you can do snow angels when there isn't enough, or the right kind of, snow to do anything else.
Hope you had a good birthday. :thumb:

Minus twenty! Good lord man, I'm surprised it didn't shrivel up and drop off!
Oh, wait... you were probably writing with your finger right?

Yep , one of my fingers! :D

Tnx Bruce, we had a nice birthday!

My little princess. Its almost Carnaval here and time to start dressing up... Friday she needs a costume for school... She really wants a princess costume and we rehearsed with a dress and a crown she has....

That picture makes me smile. What a darling child.

Beautiful young lady. Makes me almost wish mine were at this age again.
You are very fortunate, York. Proud for you.

We have watched her grow and watched you love her. Thanks.

You can sense a child who is so very loved. It does my heart good to visit this thread.

Thanks guys and girls! She really makes me happy too ( exept at 6am in the weekend ).... I guess al parents should be as happy and proud.... Time goes by so fast....

You make such lovely children, you should make some more. :D

Haha Tnx Bruce, thats what i tell my wife all the time. :D
But its a little more than that... My wife never thought she had any so....
This morning she put on her dress for Carnaval. Partytime in school!

Looks like she's ready to rule.


Oh wait, she already does. :haha:

Manga-Eyes

Wow! I think I just melted. Boy, are you're gonna have your hands full in a few years - lol.

Yeah, she's a man eater, that one. :haha:

Question #1 When did you get married??? Belated congrats!!

Question #2 Carnival for what? The only holiday around here that we dress up for is Halloween. . .

LabRat, i didnt actually got married. I guess its a habit. We feel like man and wife for some time now, and maybe will get married some day. But its all in our mind.... i dont need it to be confirmed on a paper or by a ring... Thanks anyway! :D
Over here we have Carnaval at the end of february and Halloween on Octobre 31th.
Carnaval is something catholic, some kind of "eating and party period "before the 40 days of fasting (?).... But everybody gets along, also the no-catholics... Like everyone partying and dressing up on Halloween...
Info : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival
And after party en play... they fall asleep :)

European cats are the same too. They want to share what ever you're using, a jacket, newspaper, keyboard, everything.:haha:

Really everything? He's always taking my seat when i get up.
But i dont pay much attention to it... maybe thats why i dont notice.
Im sure i dont have to share my GF/wife because he got castrated! hahaha :D
Seems like you got some experience with cats too huh? ;)
Mine went to the hairdresser and wasnt happy about it! haha
off topic, sorry dudes and dudettes! ;)

Cats, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do;
And made 'em nuts, without exemption.

:haha:

:D :D :D

Hello guys and girls! Whats up there? Here everything is ok....
Tess just had a medical exam because she's not eating very well and always has a runny nose... Seems that she has very big tonsils even in a not infected stage... They have to be removed together with her ..??? Polyps? Is that the word? It will be on june 25th...
She's a real girl and starts to talk a lot more! :headshake :D
She knows what she wants to dress, and when she wants to play my pc! She 's so handy with the mouse.... great! :o :D
She's loving music, listening and playing it!

sweet!

She is absolutely adorable.

Uh oh, we're moving from play with me, to get out of my way. :haha:

And back to " take my picture "... And all i had was my mobile!
Sometimes she just poses, and than i gotta grab the moment...;)

Getting her picture taken seems to make her very happy, is it when anyone takes it, or only Mom and Dad?

I guess its only when mom or dad make it.... And when she's in a good mood. :D There are times that she looks so cute but wont let me take a picture at all! When it comes to people she doesnt really know, it takes about 30min to get her to look at them! ;)

She's just practicing making the boys crazy by ignoring them. :haha:
