High Five!

Yesterday Delilah gave Daddy a high five!! Sort of ;-) We were playing on the bed & John held up his hand asking Delilah if she could give him a high five. I took her hand & showed her how. Then I asked her if she could do it. She took her hand, balled up in a little fist, and gave him a high "five". More like a high fist LoL Last night was the first time I gave Delilah a bath totally alone. John was doing something on the computer that needed his attention so I took her up. I should've let her in her crib while I ran the bath but I didn't & just took her in the bathroom with me... undressed & hoping she wouldn't pee on me LoL The only difference with giving her a bath myself than other bath times (we usually do a bath together as a kind of family moment- we've always done it this way since we brought her home) is I didn't have John to help rinse her hair. One of us, whoever is doing the washing that night, holds our hand over her eyes like a visor so she doesn't suck up any water (she doesn't exactly know how to hold her breath as to not breathe in the water) & rinses the shampoo out while the other person pours. Otherwise whoever is doing the washing does all the rest themselves anyway.

Monday also marked a big event- I took Delilah off her motion monitor. I figured it's not really doing anything anyway because it was blinking like it was detecting her even if she wasn't in it! I think it's because of the fan vibrations & the monitor part was on the floor but I'm not sure. Either way she's off it now.

Friday is her weight check- we'll see if she's gained any since upping her rice cereal intake from none to 3 1/2 tbsp 3x a day.

Next Monday I send her birthday invites out!

YAY for the high fist! HAHA you have to post a pic of that!

We always do bathtime together also, but the times I had to do it alone were a pain in the butt. We pretty much have the same routine as you, one pours and one blocks! So, it can be difficult alone!

Can't wait for pics! :)

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
