super curls

a fit

Delilah has been throwing fits for a while now. She will do the lay on the grown screaming, walk to the wall and pout, grab our legs and cling to us freaking out, so we are getting use to the fit. But recently this sweet girl has thrown us an adorable curve ball. When a fit is needed she closes her eyes. Kinda like saying; if I can't see you, you aren't there. She will usually continue crying but will shut her eyes super tight. The most common one is when she starts crying closes her eyes then walks to you. It's hilarious.

This video is her at dinner when Collin took her food away because she was throwing it. It's kinda long but if you can stick it out to about 40 seconds it's worth it. She is so silly and adorable. We are in love and will take these fits over the others any day of the week.

When one isn't enough

Sleeping Arrangements While Mom is Gone

Last night I woke around 4am to change Delilah's diaper. I didn't think anything of it. When I woke up the next morning I found that Delilah had already tried to change her diaper. What isn't shown is that everything in the frame here was in her bed, not on the floor. Even the blanket you can barely see under the bed. Here is what was in bed.

1) Diapers

2) Wipes (about 15 of them)

3) Jeans

4) Shirts

4) Dolls

5) Blankets

6) Leggings

Crazy girl!

visitor

Aunt Anna is in town which means there will be a lot of fancy hair do's, and since Aunt Anna is a visitor you will hold so still mom will think you have died because she's more familiar to the wrestling match approach to get just ONE elastic in your hair.

Then Aunt Anna will paint your fingernails for the very first time. You then sneak the nail polish when no one is looking and put it under your pillow so you can look at it during nap time.

Aunt Anna will give you TONS of attention and play tons of games with you. Which your parents love because they can breath with out being climbed all over, but it doesn't quite make up for the super annoying Dora doll she gave you.

Another perk for having someone sleep in your living room is that your other Aunt sends presents with her. Thanks Aunt Janay for these SUPER cute PJ's and the sweater.

Helping mom cook

Delilah drug her table and chair into the kitchen to "help" me cook.

So proud!!

Toddler bed update

So far she has been perfect sleeping in her toddler bed. Every night we do the same thing, all three of us go into her room kneel down and say a prayer. As soon as we say "Amen" she walks over and climbs into her bed. One night she was crying and whining becasuse she didn't want to go to bed, but still climbed into bed.

We thought she was just going to sleep but I keep finding things in her bed.

On this occasion I went in her bed was FULL of stuff she found in her room. We aren't really sure how she is getting around in her room because the only light she has is that music box, and it is pretty dark.

Did you notice the shoe? she is a crazy crazy silly girl. But as crazy and silly as she is we are just grateful she is still in love with her bed and sleeping so well. If she keeps this up I don't care what I find in bed with her.

For some reason I feel I should explain the PJs. We were at a dinner party late and when we got home she was nearly asleep so we just took off her jeans and threw on whatever pants were closest. :)

Cheessseeeee

She's still obsessed with the camera

she's either taking pictures of herself

or wanting you to take a picture of her

or freaking out when you try to take the camera away

She reminds me of him too.

Night #2

Last night was great.
Nap was great.
Tonight was great.
Let's hope that it keeps going great.

UPDATE~~ this is Delilah in the morning waiting for me to get her out of bed. When I walked in she said "mother, my bottom needs to be changed please" which to the untrained ear sounds like "poops" and then climbed off her bed.

I'm not sure who this perfect angel is but I hope I can keep her.

Part one of I'm sure what is going to be a very.. very long story

Well she did it, Delilah broke her crib. She enjoys gripping the edge and rocking her crib back and forth smacking it against the wall while talking to herself when she's trying to fall to sleep.

We bought her crib as a set (changing table, crib, dresser) for 200 bucks, so we weren't surprised that it was falling apart. We didn't plan on it making it to another child, we just wanted something for SC and figured when another one came along we would buy a new crib.

We knew we needed to get her a replacement but really didn't want to get a toddler bed because she has NEVER EVER tried to climb out. I was happy keeping her in there until she was three!

What we weren't planning on was that her crib would be recalled. So today we finally took it apart and took it into walmart and hoped we would get at least enough to buy her a toddler bed.

They gave us $213.87!! and they KNEW it was part of a set.

So new plan find a new crib that would convert to a toddler bed (eventually) and might make it to see another child. We went to three walmarts none of them had one that would work for us, and since we didn't have a bed at home we had do do something. So we made the difficult decision that our little girl was growing up on us and got this $55 dollar toddler bed.

We set it up and as soon as Delilah realized what it was she jumped in bed covered herself up and said "night night". She LOVED IT! We let her play in it for about 45 minutes, she played, fell snuggled and had tons of fun.

We said our prayers, snuggled her, gave her kisses and at that moment she realized we were leaving and she was staying. Luckily she was tired and only cried about 20 minutes but didn't' get out of bed.

Here she is an hour later. We will see how tomorrows nap goes, fingers crossed.

Delilah lately

good taste

some have it and some wish they had it. Our baby girl She's GOT IT!!

Fortune Cookie

While Collin was out of town D and I went and got some Chinese take out. The sweet lady who took our order gave D a fortune cookie.
It wasn't much of a fortune but I thought it was fitting.

Cute even when she's not trying..

in case you missed it did you see the mess she made.
