GOOD BYE BUMPER PAD!!!!!!!!

Here is Delaney (yes, I know, her Bumpo seat should NOT be on a table but she was being closely watched) in her Cat in the Hat onesie!! This little girl smiles ALL DAY LONG!!! I count my blessings everyday to be able to be home with her. And, she has found her feet...

Which means she wants NOTHING to do with these! I keep telling her when winter comes, she is going to have to keep them on!!!

And here is how I found little Miss Delaney Catherine yesterday morning ON HER BELLY (at 9:45 a.m. I might add)!!! She wakes up EVERY DAY smiling and laughing (and, since I am STILL in the process of figuring out how to upload video, you'll just have to take my word for it).

And this is how I found Delaney at 11:15 a.m. just an hour and a half later. REALLY??? How can she already be tired (but trust me, I am not complaining because her naps are few and far between)!

And here is how her bed looks now! Because YOU KNOW I was on the phone with Delaney's pediatrician as soon as I found her rolled over in her crib. I knew it was recommended to remove bumper pads once babies roll over in their bed. I also remember when I had her baby bedding made thinking how FAR AWAY THAT WOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A trip to the ER, a hotel evacuation and a wedding!

Delaney went on her first out of State trip. We headed to Bowling Green for cousin Jeremy's wedding. And, I learned the secret to Delaney napping...apparently, we have to go on a trip. The only problem is, it's not practical to drive 4 hours away just so she'll nap. She slept the entire way there and the entire way home! We didn't know which size U-Haul we needed to rent! After all, it was our first trip and Delaney needed multiple wardrope changes!!!! But after some "down-sizing", we decided we could just take our car. Two suitcases, two diaper bags, one stroller, one pack-n-play and we were off!

I have learned to pack my outfits on my hangers. One of the first things I do when I get in my hotel room is put my clothes away (because I HATE to have to iron!). I know what you're thinking, and YES, I match Delaney's bibs with her outfits!! Doesn't everyone?
Notice who got most of the closet space!

Have you ever? I got my pick, a soft.....

Or firm pillow........

Delaney wasn't picky! Here she is all dressed up for the rehearsal dinner.

"Delaney, that's not your bed sweetheart".......................

"No really"

"Here's your bed honey".........

"Delaney, honey, you get your picture taken every single day, you know what to do...look at the camera sweetie".............

"There you go"..........

I have about 2 seconds once she looks at the camera before her outfit goes in her mouth!

Cousin Maria and Delaney at the rehearsal dinner.

Great grandma Purichia bought this dress for Delaney. She calls it her "date dress". Poor grandma Purichia...she thinks Delaney is going to be allowed to date!

Delaney Catherine you're

17 pounds

of heaven!!!

All ready to leave for the wedding (minus shoes which Delaney is not fond of!) We're working on that and I sure hope it "happens" before winter gets here.

If you happen to live in the Bowling Green, KY area (oh, and are getting married), you HAVE to check out this place. Lost River Cave! It is a very unique and neat place to get married!

Here is the bridge to the cave.

A trip to the ER, a hotel evacuation and a wedding (part 2)

Is it just me or is your favorite part of a wedding the cake!?!?!?! The skirting for the cake table was really neat.

Delaney, Caleb and Adarrah (you do know how hard it is to get three young kids to look at the camera right?)

Me and the groom, Jeremy. Gosh, I sure hope I hadn't put my heels on yet!

Here's where the trip to the ER came in. Poor Caleb hit his head and had to go. We were told at the reception our hotel had to be evacuated and the fire department arrived. We never found out what happened.

The centerpieces were so pretty....

And the groom's cakes! Colts and Fighting Irish................

And the candy bar!

I made sure to let Delaney know mommy doesn't even own pearls. Aunt Beth got these for Delaney.

"Mommy, why don't I get any cake"???

I know this picture is dark but hopefully you can see how adorable the bridesmaids were. I joked and said you had to be a size zero to be in the wedding! They were so cute (and skinny).

Cousin Maria (sister of the groom) read scripture...my favorite "Love is Kind, Love is Patient..."

Cousin Steven was an usher.

Caleb is about to get a new sister. Delaney was still waiting on cake!!

Daddy and his girls. A candle was lit in honor of daddy who was suppose to be a groomsman. What a special touch and honor it was. He was there in spirit!

Great grandma Purichia and Delaney..........

Are they cute or what?????????

Don't think Delaney is asleep for the night. She woke up just in time for the dollar dance!

Cousin Elaine is having a girl in January and we can't wait!!!

We got home just in time for the second half of the Colts game. It was a real nail biter for Delaney.

"Mommy, are you kidding me, I don't think we're going to pull this off today"..........

"The Gym"

Delaney wasn't sure if she wanted to hit the gym or the mall...................................Afterall, the gym would be some place "new"......... But WHO would wear their Little Black Dress to the Gym?????

Certainly, not Delaney! So, we decided the mall it was.......................
