Christmas 2009

Santa 2009

It didn't go to well, but in a way that is a good thing. It would be a little creepy if she sat willingly on a strangers lap.

all of these WONDERFUL pictures were taken by Naomi Jennings.

and just to throw this out, this is the sweetest Santa in the entire world!! It's the same one from last year. as seen HERE!

Charleston beach.. continued

Warning these videos are kinda long, so pretty much for Die hard Delilah fans only. I wasn't going to post them then thought about the back lash I might receive.

Grandma's last night

Before Grandma Shaw went home she had to see Delilah eating ice cream in person.
Delilah didn't let her down.
(we decided to go get ice cream, post tub hence the jammies, and terrible hair)

After Ice cream it was a quick trip to the store to pick up some last minute souvenirs.

Delilah hasn't worn feety J's since last winter, and Grandma picked her up some. Delilah hates them. We keep putting her in them because the keep her so warm, but this is what we usually see when we get her out of bed in the morning. She has figured out how zippers work.

They were unzipped past her belly button.

Daddy's School

With Grandma Shaw in town we took her on a tour of Collin's school. It was a drizzly no good kind of a day but those are the best for exploring, and being adorable.

Charleston

Since we have moved here we have found a love for Charleston. The only bad part is it takes a while to get there and once we are there Delilah is usually tired, and doesn't get a nap so she is usually tired most of the trip.
On the right are the pictures of Delilah the way to Charleston. She got a magna doodle from Grandma as an early Christmas present. That kept her entertained for a good amount of the ride but towards the end she was sleepy and will FIGHT sleeping in a car. She didn't even sleep on the way home and it was after 10. The pictures on the Left are her eating a lemon and her lunch, and her hating her stroller until she finally passed out from exhaustion. Notice the two outfits. it's because of the beach....

Delilah Loves the beach!! LOVES THE BEACH. We knew if we took her to the beach we wouldn't be able to keep her out of the water so we made sure to bring an extra outfit for her. Even though it was cold and foggy Delilah ran straight for the water. The waves made her nervous the first few seconds but eventually she was running in them, splashing, digging in the sand, and squishing sea foam. She is a crazy little girl. there were so many adorable pictures I couldn't narrow it down.

After the Beach we went to a fishing pier where it was so foggy we couldn't see anything, so Delilah just pushed her stroller around and was plain adorable.

a girl and a straw

Sweet Delilah loves straws. The following story did not take place when these pictures were taken but they go well with the story. Delilah loves straws. She loves them, when we go to restaurants she plays with my straw, her straw, Collin's straw (if he's nice). She bends them, takes them out of the drink and puts them back in, blows bubbles in her drink etc. I believe most kids love straws. One of the first night Grandma Shaw was here we went out to eat. Delilah got her own drink in a little kids cup with a big plastic bendy straw.
Side Note: Delilah also has rediscovered her nostrils, I need to keep an extra eye on her because she shoves things up it constantly.
Back to our story, you guessed it Delilah shoved her straw up her nose. Funny funny we giggle and think nothing of it until she sniffs. . . and gets sprite up her nose. She screamed so loud and long, I had to take her away from the table to calm her down. Collin and Mary Lou saw it and were both laughing so hard they could barely tell me what had happened. Sad to say she still shoves straws up her nose.

Grandma Shaw

Grandma shaw came to visit us last week for six days.
Delilah loved playing in the bathroom with someone who isn't constantly pushing her out the door.

ouchie

On my birthday Delilah struggled. 1st she was playing and hit her head on the corner of our entertainment center and got a bruise that looked like someone had drawn a line on her forehead with pencil. (too light for pictures)
About an hour or so later I was laying on the ground when Delilah fell off the couch and hit the top of my head with mouth. It was one of those delayed cries so we know it was bad, pluse it hurt me so I knew it hurt her. When I picked her up i immediately saw bright blood below her nose. I thought she had given herself a bloody nose or her teeth cut her lip. After further examination it wasn't blood, at least on the surface. She got a kind of blood blister/bruise right under her nose. It was so sad and took her about 5 minutes to stop even crying. She cut the inside of her lip as well and got some carpet burn on her chin, all from one little slip off the couch. Poor girl.

Delilah takes some snaps

As a welcome back I thought I would show you that I am not the only one taking pictures in this home. Delilah has caught the bug as well.

new laptop in the mail

see you in 3-7 days.

In case you didn't know

my computer is broken and will hopefully be repaired or replaced, soon.

Until then

a morning in the park

A day of toys. . .

Delilah does love her toys.

Please excuse the binkie, the top canines are coming in and if it isn't her binkie it's her hand, toys, me, anything.

She loves to stand her toys up. If they don't stand up she throws a fit, until she finds a surface that will allow them to stand up.

She also loves her Elmo mail box and her tupperware shape ball (not pictured) she is getting really good putting the shapes in on her own. She also enjoys shoving random things in the holes.

And this picture. . . I watched her do this, I didn't even try to stop her. If you saw her doing it you wouldn't have been able to stop her either. She laid on her tummy and carefully and thoughtfully colored her sweet babies face (one of her 2 favorite). She would color a little, look at it, color a little more. It was almost like she was carefully putting make up on her (notice the lips). When she was done she carefully placed her in a basket with pride.
