Delaney's Baptism

Delaney's Baptism

January 12, 2014

Shandon Presbyterian Church

Here she is on her big day...

She wore a gown smocked by her Nana. The bonnet was also made by her Nana and was the one she wore home from the hospital. She looked so pretty!!! Mommy and Daddy were very proud :)

Here are a few pictures taken after the church service...

After church we went back to our house for a reception. We served chicken salad and pimento cheese sandwiches, fruit, chips, cheese and crackers, carrots and hummus, and of course…

CAKE!

Nana did a great job on Delaney's cake.

It says, "Delaney Child of God" :)

So blessed to have so many people come and celebrate this special occasion!

A photo of Delaney's baby book. I had everyone who came sign around her Baptism invitation. I did the same for Dylan and it will be a great memory to share with them when they get older!

So proud of you baby girl!

Mommy, Daddy and Dylan love you very much!!

Delaney is 9months old!

Delaney turned 9 months old!!!

Here she is...

all SMILES!!!

She's such a sweetheart :)

We went to her 9 month well visit with Dr. Barker and here are a few stats...

Weight: 21lbs 14oz (93%)

Height: 28.75in (90%) *I think Dr. B gave her a little extra here...

Head: 45.5cm (91%)
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Light brown

Sleeping: Same as last month. Bedtime is right after bath at 7pm. She goes to bed easily but if something is bothering her (ex. constipated, runny nose) it can get in the way of her staying asleep. But if she's feeling good she can sleep from 7pm to 6:30-7am. She normally has 2 naps during the day. Her first nap comes about 1.5 hours after she wakes up. So if she wakes up at 7am she's ready for her nap by 8:30am. Her afternoon nap is when Dylan sleeps (thankfully!) usually from 1:30-3:00.

Feeding: Same as before...nurses 6 times a day for no longer than 5-10min. Usually at 6:30, 9:30, 12:30, 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00. She has cereal with fruit for breakfast, a tub of veggies for lunch and cereal with fruit for dinner. She also loves puffs, mum-mums, crackers, green beans, peas and anything else that's on my plate (with the exception of meat-haven't given her that yet!) This girl loves to eat…and sings while she's eating!!!
Clothes: Delaney is wearing 9 month clothes and some 12 month!

Fun Facts: Delaney can pull up now! She still army crawls and may not crawl conventionally because she loves to stand. She can't stand by herself yet but she's getting stronger and stronger! She loves her big brother and belly laughs at him…it's the sweetest, funniest sound!

Here she is standing up for the first time :)

She really wanted to see what Big Brother was doing!

A few more pics...

Delaney checking out the chalkboard.

Yes, she IS standing without my help…but she's leaning on her crib :)

This girl LOVES to smile!

My sweet baby girl!

Love you so much!

Delaney is 8 months old!

On December 17th 2013
Delaney turned 8 months old!!!

A few stats...

Weight: ???

Height: ???

Head: ???
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: light brown

Sleeping: Delaney is not as good a sleeper as she was in the beginning. Bedtime is at 7pm right after dinner and bath. She usually goes right to sleep but sometimes she may wake up late at night or in the wee hours of the morning. There are nights when she goes down at 7pm and doesn't wake up until 6-7am! I like those nights! As far as the day…she usually takes 2 naps. Her first nap in 1.5-2 hours after she wakes up. So if she wakes up at 6:30am, she's ready to lay back down by 8-8:30am and will sleep 1-1.5 hours. Then she usually goes down for her 2nd nap about 1:30-3 or 3:30. Every once in a while she will have a catnap in between her morning and afternoon nap (usually if we are in the car) and it just cuts her afternoon nap short. But for the most part she sleeps about 3 hours during the daytime and about 11 hours at night.

Feeding: She nurses 6 times a day. Usually at 6:30, 9:30, 12:30, 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00. I'm still pumping once a day after the first morning feeding to store and use for her cereals.
Clothes: Delaney is wearing 9 month clothes and some 12 month!

Fun Facts: Delaney has 8 teeth! Four on the top and four on the bottom :) She loves to wave and say "bye bye"! She rolls everywhere she wants to go. She hasn't figured out how to crawl yet but can get around by rolling. She has started eating table food!!! Her first foods were from my plate after Thanksgiving. She tried the stuffing, corn casserole and a roll. She LOVED it! This girl loves to eat…and will scream at me if I don't give her food fast enough. She loves her puffs and can easily pick up her food off her plate.

Here she is eating peas off her table!
