Delaney Jane, you are 8 months old!!! I can hardly believe it!! How time flies!! I really cannot believe how much you have changed in just a few short months...
We had your baby dedication at church last Sunday. It was such a special day!!! Your daddy and I celebrated 6 years of marriage, and we got to dedicate you the same day!! You looked absolutely precious :)
 |
| Getting some love from Pop!! |
 |
| It was such a beautiful service. They announced your name, showed some pics on the screen, and gave you a bible and certificate:) |
 |
| Joel even held you and used you as an example to the whole church. It was so sweet:) |
 |
| So excited Uncle Nick, Nana Glo, & Pop could come! |
 |
| Nana and Papa were there too!! |
 |
| Mommy's sweet friends from school came too!! |
 |
| You were so sweet!!!! |
On Wednesday you turned 8 months old! Getting pics of you is getting harder because you wanna move everywhere:) I did try to get your pic with the same rabbit, but you are definitely not as good about sitting still!!
Last week, you pulled up in your crib! I turned around, and there you were standing all by yourself!!
Now you think you are big stuff!! You just laugh and laugh :)
We didn't go to the doctor this month, so we are just guessing on your height and weight :) We think you weigh a little over 15 lbs and are between 25-26 inches long. You are wearing 6-9 month clothing and are in a size 3 diaper.
You eat ALL kinds of baby food now! The only things you've not enjoyed were peas and peaches. You have had a few meats, apples & chicken, and turkey & sweet potatoes. We are going to start some table food soon as well. You still do not have any teeth, so that makes it a little tricky!!
Your personality is really starting to come alive :) You are so sweet, but BOY do you have a stubborn side. You are SOOO close to crawling and it really frustrates you that you can't do it. You also get mad when we take toys away, or when you are over something...like in this picture. It's hard not to laugh at you :)
I love these next few pictures of you. They show your sweet and sensitive side. I LOVE your smiley face, but these are priceless!!
You are still a good eater and sleeper. You eat about 5 oz every three hours still, and you eat oatmeal at breakfast, a fruit or veggie at lunch, avocado and another fruit or veggie for a snack, and then dinner! You sort of sound like a pig!! You have been going to bed around 8 and sleep till 530-6. On the weekends, we can usually get you to sleep a little later :)
You take about 3 naps a day :) In the morning you usually sleep an hour and you take about a 2 hour nap after lunch. You also like to take a little cat nap in the evenings. No matter when you nap, you are still really good about going down at night. We are sooooo blessed!! I know so many people whose babies didn't sleep through the night for a long time!! I couldn't imagine teaching every day with little sleep.
You have become quite the busy body this month! You still say mama and dada occasionally. You learned how to wave, and even said bye bye a few times. It also sounds like you say hi!! I think the waving was the cutest thing ever. We went shopping one Saturday and you waved at everyone :) I just love it!!!
You have started having a little separation anxiety, but you still do pretty good at Miss Cindy's. When I get home at night though, it is ALL me :) You are a Mommy's girl right now. Daddy knows his day is coming though :) I am so excited to have Fall Break off with you all next week!! I know it will be hard to go back to work after a week off, but I am just going to savor the time together ;)
We love you so much :) We are so excited about all the wonderful memories we will have in the coming months with all of the holidays. This is my absolute favorite time of year, and I am so glad we finally have a precious miracle to share these special times with. We love you sweet Delaney Jane!!!
Delaney at 2, 4, 6, & 8 months!!!
