Baby Drama

When pretty butterflies get pissed.

That girl, she's such a dramaqueen. It's hilarious, and at the same time, NOT hilarious. I wanted to get a few pictures of her in her beautiful costume and by the 3rd photo, she was shaking her finger at me, throwing herself back, trying to rip the flowers off of her head, whilst screaming and crying. I tried EVERYTHING I could think of to make her stop crying and smile for mama, but, she was not having it.

Tony's favorite thing to say is "I WONDER where she gets it from!?"

My favorite response is "from yo' mama." Because being mature is the only way I know how to be.

Just think of the fun I will be having on halloween night, people!

I can hardly wait.

It is her two little bottom teeth that just make this most perfect picture. I laugh when I think how you'll be able to torture this one with the photos when she is older.

Bwah hahaha

Cuteness. Too. Powerful. Overwhelmed. By. The. Cute.

Seriously, what an adorable little butterfly.

Okay, that is the BEST.

Ahhhhh! Killing me with cuteness!

Posted by: Amy at October 28, 2005 09:55 AM

Really Y-
She is just a precious little thing.
How could you not love her to peices.

Oh my goodness!!! Well, at least you got one pretty smile! What a beautiful costume. I can't wait to see the Halloween pictures!

Posted by: Colleen at October 28, 2005 10:35 AM

She looks so much like Andrew in that picture. You know, except the frilly pink stuff. That's the first one I've seen where she really looks like either of your boys.

That's an amazing costume!! She looks just adorable.

If she showed up on my doorstep I would have to give her all my candy.

Too CUTE!!!! :)

First picture GORGEOUS!

Second picture FUCKING HILARIOUS. I laughed out loud at that and then even harder when I clicked on it to enlarge.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA

That has got to be the CUTEST costume I've ever seen. I'm really glad my daughter isn't in here with me right now, because gah! SO CUTE! GOOD GAAAAD! And she would be pining for it, even though she has the perfect Princess Aurora Costume. Wouldn't be enough after seeing Gabby's Butterfly!

Happy Halloween!

Oh, I'm dying of the cuteness. That is officially the most adorable girl child/butterfly ever.

Posted by: Tammy/averagemom at October 28, 2005 02:20 PM

I thought of you today during our own picture hell. Though we did not have the butterfly outfit to make it worthwhile, it was BAD.

I need a drink.

Posted by: Sarcastic Journalist at October 28, 2005 02:47 PM

i just have to say that the butterfly costume is the most beautiful costume i have ever seen!! and the pics of gabby are priceless, ha ha ha ha ha!

Posted by: Jessica at October 28, 2005 06:09 PM

Look at her! How adorable!

Posted by: Girl at October 28, 2005 06:45 PM

Cutest butterfly ever! And if your daughter is anything like my son was, maybe try in the morning after she's eaten? Late in the day never worked for us, mood-wise. Good luck and happy trick-or-treating! That toothy grin alone oughta score you buckets of candy. :-)

Posted by: Beth at October 28, 2005 08:22 PM

*blinks*

Wow woman, are we ever on the same channel at times!

I'm using my oldest daughters fairy wings from last year to make Claire into a butterfly this year! LOL!

Posted by: Lucky at October 28, 2005 08:25 PM

If you are taking Gabby trick-or-treating, you better bring about 7 pillowcases, b/c that girl is going to charm her way into getting handfuls of candy at each house. Or maybe pull a drama queen crying act to get more. Either way, what personality! I love it!

Great pics, as usual!

Posted by: stephanie at October 29, 2005 12:33 PM

That is one kick ass costume. I'd give her candy even if she was throwing a hissy :)

Posted by: Z at October 29, 2005 01:43 PM

She is way too cute, it should be illegal! Happy Halloween!

Posted by: Katie at October 29, 2005 01:58 PM

Don't ever loose that second picture! You can use it against her when she's older.

Posted by: Heatheranne at October 29, 2005 03:28 PM

Very cute...pissed, but cute.

Posted by: Chris at October 29, 2005 05:10 PM

oh my gosh! She is a mess isnt' she! so cute!

Posted by: jennifer at October 29, 2005 09:32 PM

She is just too precious! Ticked off but adorable!

I am delurking as a reader for the last four months. I love hearing all about you, your kiddos and your weight loss. You are one beautiful momma.

Posted by: Sentimental (Shannon) at October 30, 2005 08:41 AM

that costume is soopretty n she is sooo pretty crying or not :)

Posted by: beth at October 30, 2005 09:28 AM

Dude, when I was that age, my mom never woulda gotten me dressed up all cute like that. I used to rip out chunks of hair trying to get barettes off my head.

Not much changes--I mean, except now, like, I know how to undo the barettes so I don't have bald patches or anything...

But oh my goodness, even when she's being a drama queen, she's so freaking cute, I can't stand it. I'm sure she loves the fact that everyone laughs their ass off when she's pissed, too...

Posted by: Natalie at October 30, 2005 10:47 AM

Gabby makes that outfit look so cute! Ry actually has the same one but I haven't put it on her yet, hope she looks as cute as Gabby! Love her drama queen act

Posted by: Nicole at October 30, 2005 11:56 AM

LOL - my little stinker did the same thing this morning in her Batgirl costume. Also, I've never seen Batgirl suck her thumb in any of the comics, so I'm not sure we really captured the essense.

Have fun tonight!

Posted by: Mommygoth at October 31, 2005 07:40 AM

Adorable.

"This is what it sounds like, when butterflies cry Doo doo do doo. doot doo doo doo heeeeee heeeeee!!!"

Ok, that's my Prince impression. Pretty sad, no?

Have a happy Halloween!

Posted by: Macca at October 31, 2005 08:01 AM

She's adorable! I never had little girls to dress up all sweet like that. Lucky you!

Posted by: Melanie Lynne Hauser at October 31, 2005 08:55 AM

Where oh where has Yvonne gone? oh where oh where can she be? With her pretty hair and her cute daughter oh where oh where could she be?

Posted by: Sarah at October 31, 2005 11:29 AM

OMG!!! She is adorable!!!

Posted by: Itchy at November 1, 2005 04:38 AM

OMG, OMG, OMG! She's simply adorable! I can almost hear her!

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
