Spongebob... Boogerhead???

Image
Ok so this isn't about Spongebob but in fact about our boogerhead. Yes, that's Delilah. Yesterday when she woke up from her nap John saw what he at first thought was goop. It actually turned out to be a boogie!! And daddy took pictures (which I ~am~ going to share). Delilah also got a chance to feed herself yesterday... as you can imagine it didn't go overly well. Mommy got home from work for her lunch break to find quite the mess on Delilah's highchair tray that Daddy was in the process of cleaning up. Delilah was making the most humerous faces yesterday at lunch. She looked like a toothless little old lady the way she was sucking her lips in. She also has another face that mimicks the lip but is actually in good fun & does ~not~ mean sadness is on the way. Last night after her bath I was drying her hair (which she does ~not~ like!) & when I pull the towel away she had a mohawk! Of course I had John take a picture :-D I swear Delilah just gets bigger & bigg...

Memorial Day Weekend (Looonnngggg)

Image
Well this actually starts Thursday... Thursday night we went to Auntie Ashley's to give her the other half of her gift. The half that would allow her to play the first half of her gift (Guitar Hero World Tour bundle & Guitar Hero Aerosmith). Ash was playing in the water at the sink with Delilah and since it was bath night & she was already at the sink, Ash suggested a bath. So Delilah had her first irish bath. It was interesting to bathe her in there but I think I'm just going to be sticking to the rainforest bath tub we have LoL Especially after Delilah bonked her head on the side of the sink- her lil noggin was ok though! Auntie Ashley was kind enough to take pics for me :-) Also Thursday Delilah was doing the sippy cup herself! I'm so proud of her! Of course we have it rigged up so that some comes out regardless but she surely showed what a big girl she is by holding it herself. Friday I took off to spend the day with John & Delilah. Ash said the night before...

The force is strong with this one

P.S. We are ~not~ Star Wars freaks ;-)

I got it!! I got it!!

Yay!! Finally!! We got a.... ~FACE~!!! Last night we gave her some mangos out of the fridge. I didn't warm it in the microwave or anything so of course, it was cold. After that first spoonful there it was- the face. Not over a new veggie/fruit mind you- but just a cold fruit LoL Yesterday John went for a walk & ended up at Auntie Ashley's to visit. Landon & Delilah got to play a bit and Ashley got some really cute pics she generously shared with me for blogging :-D The one pic is just too funny- Delilah's hair is standing up because Landon had just licked her head LMAO! John has this thing about getting the perfect picture to photo shop a light saber in Delilah's hand. First we tried with her rattle that looks like a microphone. It didn't look right. Next John found our small, black flashlight & has been trying to get just the right pic for it. The Face Light saber pics take 2

It was bound to happen...

I knew it was only a matter of time before it happened... John has been testing the fates of goop since Delilah began gooping. While I showered before we did our bedtime routine, John was playing with Delilah in the bedroom. After finishing up in the shower, I walk in to find him laying on the bed with her held up in the air over his head. As I was dressing, he was making her "fly" a few more times before our little airplane had to come in for a landing. And that's when it happened... that's right- Goop! And not just on his shirt but right on the side of his lower face/neck area LMAO Serves him right ;-D That shirt was done for the night! Since going back to work I haven't felt that my time with Delilah has been all that horribly shortened. I have in the morning before work, at lunch time, & then when I get home until she goes to bed (which we've kept her up a little later because of this) but tonight I really did. It made me feel sad and that's not a ...

Marina- Yay!! & Mangos- Yum!!

Today was a busy day. First my mom & dad came down to help us take some stuff to the dump. Goodbye ruined things of cats past! After that John & I went to see the new Wolverine movie- I loved it!! That's no surprise ;-) Then off to Walmart (ugh!) for some supplies. This afternoon Auntie Ashley & I went to the marina so Shawn could play & Landon and Delilah could swing. We got in a good 10 minutes before the rain began. After some playground fun we went over to Ross's for some yummy icecream. We had lots of fun! After our trip to the marina, I returned home and that's when I decided that Delilah need to try a new fruit. Mangos!! She absolutely loved them :-D Of course this time she actually made a face... and of course, this time John missed the perfect shot >:-\ Enjoy some pics below. Shawn giving the little ones a push My little love My favorite little red-headed monkey My favorite little imaginative genius :-D Mangos- mm, mmm!! And a video for your enjo...

6 month pedi appointment

Today was Delilah's 6 month pediatrician appointment. Besides the crying & screaming it went pretty well ;-) The crying started as soon as I lay her down on the scale to be measured & weighed. It stopped when I picked her up but started again as the nurse took her temperature (you try having a thermometer shoved up your rump!) and also while the nurse measured her head. As long as I was holding her she was ok- but as soon as the pedi started her exam she was crying again. And don't get me started on the shots!! Poor baby :-( It was a tough day for her- no morning nap, pedi appointment + shots, 3 hour nap after I fed her when we got home, & grumpy the rest of the night. Anyway, her stats are: Weight- 16 lbs 4 oz Height- 2'2" Delilah's 6 month pics are finally ordered! I can't wait to get the pics :-D I went a little crazy ordering prints but I sure as heck got a lot more for my buck than I would've at S.ear.s!! Tomorrow night Auntie Ashley & ...
