Marissa Lorraine Davison

Marissa Lorraine Davison born February 7, 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah. I know what your thinking. Just another granddaughter; another pround grandmother. Yes, you are partially right. But, see is special. She was doing sign language before she could walk. She loves her books, toys and loves to have her picture taken. She is very coordinated for her age. She loves to play kick ball. She loves gagets...anything that has a button, switch, anything she can move. She is very good at making things work. She doesn't give up easily.

I remember when you first discovered her shadow. We had just gone outside for a walk. It was a nice warm day and she was standing and getting into the mode of walking. She started to swing her arms and she noticed her shadow moving. She got excited and when she swing her arms to see her shadow move she just about fell over. She was young and had just learned to walk. It was exciting for this grandmother to see her grandchild experimenting and learning and loving to learn. That's my girl.

Marissa just had her second birthday. It was raining so we stayed in that day. We had a party at mom and dad's. We celebrated with cupcakes and ice cream. She loved the cupcakes and her favorite fun time was the big helimum balloon with the stuffed animal tied to it. She took advantage of the situation and used the balloon as a punching bag. What fun she had.




This picture with Marissa and her pacifier (she calls it her "B") melts my heart. Look at those eyes. Don't they just say, "I am here, watch out cause I love you and life." I hope she remains that way!

Now, this pic is a shot we got at a restaurant. Marissa was having fun, being silly and posing for the camera. I call it "coy". She know's what she is doing.

Below is pic of Marissa when she was about a day or two old.



It was a tough delivery, but well worth it!
