1,2,3...A,B,C

Just a quick update on Delaney's progress. She can now count to 13 on her own, 15 with some help. She does the whole alphabet on her own, and has learned the ABC song as well. We are working now on letter and number recognition with flash cards, books and puzzles. We're just trying to keep it fun and are enjoying watching her learn every day! She's coming along with the potty training, although we know we are still far from being totally diaperless. It's amazing to see how our baby is becoming less of a baby and more of a little girl. My favorite part of this stage is that she is able to express affection and gratitude on her own, and that is the best feeling in the world! It makes my whole day when she runs up and hugs me or says "love you mama". She asks for kisses or says "thank you" when we give her something. Another fun thing about her at this age is her silly streak, which usually tends to show up right before bath time and bed time. She gets so goofy when she is tired! It's really funny to watch, she knows just how to get Cory and I cracking up at night. She makes life at our house entertaining and complete, each day we can't wait to see what new thing she will do or say! :)

Weekend Pics

Well, another weekend has flown by! We had a fun one...we saw Granny and Sarah, and then went to Grandma and Grandpa Carpenter's house. On Sunday we went to church and then just hung around. It was a fun weekend, here are some pics for you to enjoy:




















Laney loves her new pink hat that Nana sent her. She wanted to wear it all day!





















This is Delaney's new favorite way to enjoy a snack: sitting in her pink chair, watching Noggin!
















Silly girl with a bucket on her head in the car. She thinks everything is a hat!




















She wouldn't stop hugging Sarah





















Mommy let her have a sip of her banana chocolate shake and she did NOT want to give it back!




















What a weekend!

A few days ago I took Delaney to the park. She had so much fun swinging on the swings and watching the other kids play. She is so social, she was waving at the kids and moms, and whenever the older kids would laugh she would crack up too. Such a little copycat!

Welcome to Delaney's Blog!

Hi everyone! As Delaney's first birthday draws near and she is more active and on the move than ever, it is getting harder and harder to keep up with the weekly email updates. So, I've created this blog to keep you all updated as she grows and changes. I will do my best to keep this website updated as often as possible.
