19 Months

Before I know it, 19 months will turn into 19 years and Delaney really will be wearing my shoes (hopefully not my Sperry's though!). These monthly posts seem to come faster each month which can only mean one thing.
Meet Indy's most loyal Colts fan!
The daily changes in this little girl are amazing! It's like she is a "real" person. I mean I know she's real and all but you know what I mean. She is a mini little person with a mind and personality of her own. It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G how much she soaks up--the girl is a sponge! I just wish she could use a sponge to help clean up all of her messes!
Here's what Delaney is up to:
  • Sorry to start this out with "poop" but this just happened and I keep forgetting to blog about it. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened. Typically, Delaney has a late morning poop. But on the mornings she doesn't, I lay her down for her nap and EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I mean it NEVER.FAILS she will still be awake 1/2 hour to an hour afterwards and then it dawns on me---she pooped! Can you blame her for not wanting to fall asleep after she pooped??? I know it seems strange that if this happens so often I don't realize it much sooner but I don't! It is almost becoming comical--well, that is if there's anything comical about poop! So, I love the mornings where she has her morning poop because then I know she will fall asleep right away....except today! She DID have her morning poop and 45 minutes later she was still awake so I went in there and she did it again you know like the song "poops, I did it again"! Just when you think you have kids figured out................I would also like to say I never would have guessed how much you talk about poop when you have a baby!
  • Delaney is not only obsessed with her usual baby (i.e. glo worm) but now she plays with two and we have to take them both EVERYWHERE. When it comes to twins, I say better her than me! She still calls her babies "day day".
  • She is still what I consider a picky eater and WILL NOT eat meat.
  • She has been sleeping pretty late and got up at 10:00 the last two mornings. I am sure now that I typed that tomorrow morning will be much earlier!
  • She FINALLY says mommy and says it no less than 100 times a day.
  • She says hi to anyone and everyone when we are out and again says it 100 times. You really can't take this kid anywhere. She is a SOCIAL BUG I tell you.
  • I try to teach her the name of anything we come in contact with and it's so fun to hear her try to repeat things. She knows her eyes, ears, cheeks, chin, teeth, nose, feet and belly.
  • She has a very strange obsession with smelling fee/shoes and not just her's. She crinkles her nose after she smells them. Still need to get that on video.
  • She knows "no no" quite well but doesn't really stop doing what she's not suppose to be doing when she hears it. She just likes to point and say it.
  • She loves planes and I tell you this girl can hear them before they take off! I hate it because she will hear one in the house and run to the window but our trees out front are too full and she can't see the sky---don't worry, I am having them removed!
  • When on one is here to watch her when I shower, I put her in her pak n play and turn on Mickey Mouse Club or Little Einsteins. That is the only time she watches cartoons. She just really isn't into them!
  • Her obsession with the cell phone (and home phone) is increasing. She says "hello" while holding them up. Everyday she gets a hold of my cell phone and starts texting!
  • She is getting much better about letting me brush her teeth.
  • The girl LOVES her baths (always has) and I let her sit in the bathtub until the water drains and the other day she grabbed the towel out of my hand and laid down in the bath tub and said "night night".
  • She doesn't get to be around other kids but when she does she has so much fun and does really well. Any kid no matter what age she points to and says "day day" even if they are older.
  • She loves to sit and flip through my magazines.
  • After Delaney's bath she grabs her dirty clothes and walks them into her room and puts them in her hamper and it's so cute. I am sure the day will come when she does NOT do this on her own.
  • Delaney has finally gotten into her bows and when I say "into" I don't mean so much wearing them as I do getting "into" them. I "hid" them in her closet and she goes straight into her room into her closet and dumps her hat box full of them. She says "bow" now.
Dear Delaney Catherine,

I could go on and on about all of the new things you are doing and saying. Watching you learn and grow and develop is priceless. Never in a million years would I miss this time with you. I know before I know it, I'll be putting you in preschool so you can interact with other kids (and more importantly, so you have somewhere to wear your cute clothes) and our days together will be much shorter. I cannot stand being away from you even if it's just for an appointment or the grocery store. Now I know why people have more than one kid, it is just so much darn fun. I have said so many times you are such a good baby (yes, you are still a baby to me) and were born that way. I have no other baby to compare you to but you are just so easy to take care of. Thank you for that sweet cheeks!

Love,
Your mommy
