Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

"Ladybug"

I know, you can hardly believe it, a new post from us!  Sorry we've been MIA lately.  We're here, just enjoying our summer days.  I have a lot of blog catching up to do but for now, here's a cute video of Delaney from a carnival we went to this past weekend!

Game On

We can hardly believe it's time!!! Don't let my girl down Andrew!!!!

The Fair

We went with grandma and grandpa today to the State Fair.  I must say, Delaney did much better than I! She was such a trooper in the heat and was great!  I however, was a different story.  I told my mom when we got in the car "that was worse than being in labor"....a slight exaggeration maybe but it was still MISERABLE!!!  We came straight home and Delaney went down for a nap and I hopped in the pool, hoping the chlorine would "wipe away the fair".............

This is about the ONLY time Delaney kept two hands on the wheel.  She spent the ride doing her beauty pageant waive............(and I spent the ride glaring at all of the people NOT waiving back at her)

Lazy Summer Days

I guess I will just sit on the floor.....

"Nine O'Clock"

So here's my super cute new thing Delaney says! And, as if that isn't enough, this morning when I got up, I went into the bathroom to brush my hair back into a ponytail before I went into Delaney's room and when she heard me open the drawer in the bathroom she yelled "mommy brushing hair"! But wait, there's more....I went in her room and she dropped something on the floor and I said "whose is that" and she said "Delaney's" PLAIN AS DAY!! She normally refers to herself as "Laney".  And just to be sure it wasn't a fluke, I asked her again tonight what her name was and yep, she said it again...Delaney! 

"Uncle Bird"

Let me start by saying Delaney does NOT have an uncle by the name bird.

While Delaney played with my phone (her favorite thing to do) I had no idea she downloaded a couple of Apps (Fieldrunner2 and PennyTalk--whatever the heck they are AND DON'T I HAVE TO ENTER MY PASSWORD TO DOWNLOAD APPS??????)!!!  Perhaps I should not have been glued to the t.v. to watch the finale of Love in the Wild......or perhaps I should just not let my two year old play with my phone.  I am guilty of giving her my phone to keep her quiet distract her and she has never taken an interest in Angry Birds--EVER!  So, when she was holding my phone and said "Uncle Bird" I about lost it!  I have no clue the last time I even showed that to her so the fact she remembered what it was called was too funny!!  Oh, and I can't blame the screensaver on Delaney...I wish I could but that was all me...(please tell me you have gone to see Magic Mike by now???)

 Delaney woke up yesterday morning and the first thing she said was "baby Logan".  She is so excited for her cousin to come in town for the weekend but she has NO concept of time so every day she thinks he's coming.  And we sure hope he plans on swimming because Delaney keeps telling me he's going to get "in the pool"---she says that phrase about 100 times a day!  Here was her bed head (it was much worse...better??) in person.  She would not look down so you can't really see it.  Every morning when Delaney wakes up (10:00 the last three mornings and it has really thrown us off track) I say "did you have good sleep" and now she just tells me "good sleep" without me asking her!!

 If you live in Indy, don't forget to book your reservation for Polar Express.  I missed the boat (or train??) last year and we didn't get to go.  It sells out quickly!  I can't believe we are even thinking about Christmas time!!!  However, it will probably take me until December to teach Delaney to say "Ho Ho Ho".  She will not say it three times...she prefers "Ho Ho".  We'll see what she says when she actually sees Santa! I'm guessing it will go something like "no mommy no".  I'm really worried though that we only have five months to pick out which pajamas she will wear!!!!

Delaney started saying something SUPER cute and funny but it's got to be heard, not read so I'll try to get it on video this weekend!  Actually I think just about everything Delaney says is SUPER cute and funny but I guess that's what makes me her mom.  One of my favorite things about being her mom is that the little things ARE the big things!  Just like "Uncle Bird" it was so funny and unexpected.  Man I wish I could even come close to describing how much I love my girl!!!!
