So you were using her as excuse, because you wanted to go play at De efteling. ;) That's a pretty scary looking dragon.

Goodness that child is photogenic! I love the pic of her and daddy. :)

@Shawnee, hèhè.....thanks! :D
@Bruce, euh....kinda! I was never there when i was a child and was waiting for this moment! :p:

Wow, that little girl has some legs on her! I predict either soccer or track in her future.

Track, basktetball, and/or volleyball.

Track and football, thank you ;)
More lovely pics, York. Makes me realise how much I am missing in the growing up of my friend's daughter...

Nah, she'll be one of those tall long-legged volleball players who looks all sweet and beautiful then they go out and kick some ass. Or tennis, like Maria Sharapova.

V-ball players are often leggy. I thought soccer players were typically more low to the ground.

Maybe the picture has a strange angle on it.... Héhé, Basket or Volleybal , i dont think so! Im only 5"3 and mom is 5"4! :D
But she likes to play soccer and tennis!
Pico , one point! ;)

Meh I just meant from a European POV.
Those are sports that really matter.
Although ice-sports might be appropriate to York....? It's more temperate here so I'm a bit ignorant about them.

But FTR, Peter Crouch (famous "soccer" player, believe me) is 6'7".
Which is why he has to go out with a model. Obviously.

My five feet maybe 4 inches younger sis-in-law walked on court for a tryout at her Division 1 college volleyball team. She had thought she didn't want to play but went to a walk-on tryout anyway. Made the team hands down. (pun intended.) So size doesn't always matter. :)

@SG : oooohh that way! :D Ice sports? hhhmmm , she might eat it all! :D
Peter Crouch is a good forward! Back at Tottenham Hotspur now doing his "robot"! Messi and Maradona arent that tall either and are "great" ;)
@ Shawnee : i know for a long (or was it short?) time that it doenst mater! :D Well see what she likes most and than she can choose! ;) Like most at that age she likes so much now, tennis, soccer, cycling , being a ballerina, a veterinarian , an actress, a princess..... ;)

Wow that place is soooo cool! And what a beautiful girl she is!!! Looks like you guys have lots of fun!

Yep, we try to have as much fun as we can! You'r only a child once (and in a rare occasion twice , like me at the parc! :D )
We definitly think about going again next year! :)

My Girl is a big fan of MJ, and because the shirt was kinda made for her.... :D I couldnt leave it!

Not bad, just spoiled by her father. :lol:

hahaha that too...Nobody ever says she's bad or naughty, but also none of those people ever lived a week with her! ;)

Hello Guys and girls! Whats up there on the other side of the world?
My "baby-girl" is getting big! She turned 5 yesterday and it was a lot of trouble to get everyone here! A lot of snow fell the last days so there's about 40cm here!
this was day one : http://oi51.tinypic.com/1z6zewn.jpg
I got in the hospital because of my diabetes and i had a really busy last months! I didnt take any pictures anymore, up till yesterday.
So here are some late, but still best wishes for X-mas!!

What a lovely young lady! (and a very patient old moggie you have there)

I admire your daughter's taste in plates.

nice!

Tnx Wolf! Kitty is popular here! ;) But whats a moggie?

A moggie is a a cat - usually a non-breed cat (like saying mongrel for a dog) but sometimes just a familiar term.

Aw she is beautiful as ever.
I must ask my friend for more pics of his daughter - she will be as grown up as yours my now. Blimey.

Sorry to hear about your diabetes, hope all is now well. Scary.

And 40cm of snow!
WOW! We had a quarter of that and really suffered. I'm happy to say it's melting nicely, as I'm making my epic trip to Scotland the week after next.

Hey Sundae and tnx for the mog-info! :p:
All is much better now tnx! I have it for 25years now but i still get an occasionaly bad hypo! (low sugar!)
Over here the snow is all staying! :D Its been here for more than a week and we had 2 days with a +1° , the rest of the days it's frreeeezing!!
Tess is sick , she has a sour throat and fever! Hope she'll be fine by the end of the week! Luckely its during my week a holiday! :(
Have a great end of the old year and a wonderful beginning of the new one! Later! ;)

Hi York, good to hear from you! your pictures are always a welcome respite from the every day grind.

Proud Papa has done everything he could to make his baby girl happy, right? Well don't forget the most important thing you can do is make sure you're around, so take care of yourself. ;)

Thanks Bruce! I will do that but, i got sick one day, was in the hospital one day and my boss told me to stay home and take care for two weeks! So ive been home with my girl for more than a week now! ;) Good huh? :D
Tomorrow i go back to work!

Yeah, well don't be making those faces at work. :lol2:

Wonderful pics York. Hope you are feeling better. I just recently reviewed this entire thread. Being able to watch her grow from birth to now has been most excellent!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Haha Bruce i ll try to.... They know those faces at work... ;)
Classicman Tnx, i am feeling better but diabetes is depending on many things... If i work too hard it gets too low! :D
Feels good being able to come post some again!

Saturday afternoon..... Cookie - time!!!
One moment that she's my big red's best friend! There are other moments too!! :D
Making the dough for the cookies and off course the endresult!
And because of my diabetes she made some with dough without sugar and nothing on top! Hahaha Love her!!

Your daughter is just too cute. What a sweet thing, making cookies without sugar for her daddy. :p:

Those eyes and that smile, what a cutie!

Thanks!! ;)

:D

RAWR!

Played the lion queen at school!! :D

Cute cute cute!

Ha ha, cat behind her is pointing out you ain't foolin' nobody!

that is pretty cute!!!

So in the picture of her before is she rehearsing? ;)

hahaha U can say that! ;)

She's stretching out, taller and thinner.

Yep she is, but she still is the smallest of her class! ;-)
Here a photo again , not much time, not much photos! But a lot a fun!!:D

She may be small, but looks like a healthy spoiled brat. :lol2:

Spoiled? She's a doll! You can't spoil a doll!

York will explain, she's definitely spoiled. :lol:

BigV, wer talking about the one on the right! :p:
And yes , she is spoiled! :D Only child and she gets everything just by the looks she gives us! ;)
5 years an about 20 Barbie Dolls , 9 babydolls and the list goes on and on.... ;)

And you love every minute of it. :D

Haha, a lot of them , not every! :rolleyes: She can tire us out sometimes, just by asking the same thing 100 times in 5 minutes! She wants to know everything and if i explain she still knows better! haha She sometimes wines and wines.... but thats how girls are i guess! :D :D :D

Yup. :D

Took some pics yesterday... stuck inside with a big summer carnival and a lot a rain outside!

:)

She's the same age as my friend's daughter; a school year younger then the children I teach.

No doubt she is amazing and intelligent as she is.
But give her a year or two and she will still be Daddy's girl and yet off the chart on the amazing and intelligence scale.

I love that I get to watch this in other people's children.
Keep posting York.
And a YouTube clip of her speaking Belgian (Dutch?) wouldn't go amiss.

Kids can be so cute. :)

Yes they CAN Lola! :D
Sundae , ill try to put one up! Ill have a search when she's in bed! ;)

Here is one, i dont know exactly what she said anymore... Its 11pm here an time for bed! Look for antoher one later! ;-)

York: I hope you don't mind but I watched your other videos of your daughter. Oh my gosh, she is so adorable. :D

You should buy that poor deprived child more toys. :lol:

Why? His exercise machine works perfectly well as a swing. :D

Look at the background.;)

Hmm....she has toys. You really think she doesn't have enough or you're being sarcastic? I feel dumb now. :(

Don't be, York and I have been going at this for a long time, so I kind of post in shorthand. He understands, but others may not get my sarcasm. :D
