First Pair of Shoes

Monday was a very special day- it was the day Delilah got her first pair of shoes! My mom and my grandma came down so we could go to Lee.ser's. With no morning nap and a stranger shy baby I knew it was the formula for trouble. We get there and she was fine while the sales lady measured her feet. The sales lady then comes back with 3 pairs of shoes- 1 velcro and 2 laced. I suggested trying the velcro ones first since I really didn't want the laced ones because I knew Delilah would just untie them. As soon as the sales lady put on one shoe the water works began. The shoes were on, I liked them, so I said that those were good. The poor thing- every time the sales lady came any where near her after, even if it wasn't for her, she started crying. So we get home & feed Delilah lunch then come in the room to play a little before a nap. I tried putting the shoes on her to see if she'd walk around with them but she wasn't having it. She was very upset the shoes were on & wouldn't let me put her down. As soon as I took them off she was fine! Silly girl!! After a much needed nap though she warmed up to the shoes and now loves having them put on & walking around in them.

Today she had her 15 month appointment. She's growing well and developing fantastically. She's even over 20 pounds now! The pediatrician said we can switch her car seat forward facing which is a good thing because her feet have been able to touch the back of the seat for quite a bit now.

Weight: 20 lb 10 oz
Height: 2'6"

She had to have two shots which did not bode well- but does it ever?

Very cute shoes. My son had shoes on from the time he was probably 2 months old!! He only wore them when we went out though, not in the house. He does love to untie them or unvelcro them though, especially in his car seat.

You realize that's the last time she will cry when she gets a new pair of shoes? But, that's a good thing. I'm so glad that she warmed up to them. It was a fun day, even though there was some screaming involved!

Adorable 1st pair of shoes. Shawn's 1st pair from that exact same place (what, a year and a half ago) are just now getting snug. Well worth the investment :) Adorable pics as well.

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 ...
