My Little Turkey Is Eight Months Old!!!

We spent Thanksgiving Eve having a slumber party. Aunt Angie came and stayed with us. I love Delaney's look on her face. I think she's saying "can someone get me out of here"???

"Enough of the camera mommy"......


"Mommy, I said ENOUGH of the camera, they've seen me hold my bottle before"....


Now I know what you're thinking, those are NOT traditional Thanksgiving colors. Well, if you read this blog, then you likely know us and you know we are not your "traditional" girls.......just another one of mom's "finds" on Etsy (my new addiction).......oh, and her hat is from Etsy too.


And since you rarely get to see the person behind the camera...................(and yes, we color coordinated today).


We headed off to aunt Trina's with all of our essentials.................


And guess who got to sit at the head of the table........


Of course she got to have turkey too....


"Oh no, mommy's got that camera out again"....................(not sure why we didn't wipe her face).


I think she's trying to decide which to play with first......


The wagon..............


Or this toy (not sure what it was)....


"Hello, mommy, is that you? I was just calling to let you know I don't have any of these toys at home like aunt Trina has for me and I'm not happy about it".

Here's Delaney sitting in her car seat...she must be ready to go....


Turkey must have the same effect on Delaney.......she slept all the way home (and still needed her face wiped).


We have one more Thanksgiving get together and yes, Delaney does have another outfit!!

Delaney is EIGHT months old today! I am still trying to figure out how this happened.......


Dear Delaney Catherine,


Somehow you continue to grow no matter how hard I try to stop it. You weigh 18.9 lbs and are 27 and 1/2 inches. You are eating 24 oz. of formula a day and baby food. You have begun crawling and are a pro at it. Mommy continues to "Delaney proof" the house. YES, this includes changing out the mirrored hallway doors for wood ones and the carpet installers will arrive next week (just kidding, but I did consider it because everytime you bonk your head on our hardwood floors I think I cry more than you do). You continue to be such a good sleeper and average about 9pm-9am. You have even started getting some naps in which is GREAT!! You LOVE I mean LOVE to watch the news and especially like to watch the weather (you definitely get this from your daddy)!! You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and we just lowered your mattress in your crib yesterday. You are a social butterfly just like your mamma and love and go to everyone! You make the funniest sounds and expressions and have the best personality of any baby I have ever known. You give me immeasureably more than I could ever give you in return. You are without a doubt this mamma's whole world and I am so THANKFUL for every minute I have with you. I am so lucky to wake up to you laughing and cooing every morning and for knowing that I get to spend the day with my favorite person in the whole world...........


Love,


Your mommy who is so very thankful for you!
