Delaney is 4 months

Everyday we are noticing new things with DD. At four months old now she is certainly becoming a little character already! I don't know how it happened since Papa, my dad lives in Florida, but somehow she has his shit eatin' grin???!!! Weird...she burps like him sometimes too, and for those of you who know my dad's burps, it's a pretty big accomplishment, so coodo's to DD for tackling that one. She likes to have bare feet, not a huge fan of socks or shoes, but don't worry, I'll get her liking shoes before you know it, and then daddy will be soooo happy! Her hair is starting to fill in since she lost about everything she was born with, but it is coming in dark brown and her eyes have changed to brown. She enjoys her swing and her play mat, and it seems like she can't get enough fingers in her mouth at once to suck on. She is starting to teethe already, I thought it might be a little early, but she's has the flush cheeks, low grade temp, and bumpy gums. Her sleep patterns have been all over the place and was super crabby while she was awake, until we started giving her some infant drops. She's not napping like she used to, but she's not crabby when she's awake anymore. Actually she's pretty silly and loves to play and laugh. She can't get enough attention and can go pretty wild with excitement when we play with her. She really likes to look in the mirror, just loves sesame street, and loves music. She still likes when I read to her and is really focused on the pages. She's a handful some days and it is hard to do school work, but boy is she fun and I wouldn't miss this time with her for the world!!

Homecoming 2010

Grafton High School recently had their homecoming. Cody stayed after school most of the week to work on the freshman float for the parade. I was pretty excited to see it, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a little bare. It will be fun to see how the class improves on them each year. Also a must for the week was toilet papering (tp-ing). Ya...not exactly on my list of things for him to do, but all the kids were out doing it and had fun. We got hit the first night, but luckily I have 3 dogs and I caught the little varmants in the act. Of course I made Cody go out and clean it up too! The homecoming peprally and football game was after the parade on Friday night. Grafton played whitefish Bay, and the score was....um, well...oh who needs to know the score? It was homecoming, a night of friends and fun times right??? Ok, we got wooped! Cody took his girlfriend Cailyn to the homecoming dance on Saturday..awwww, they looked so sweet together! Cody got her a wrist corsage, & they wore black and silver. Joe had to work so I had to be the chaufer for the night, and little miss Delaney accompanied me. We went to Cailyn's house to pick her up and take pictures. She looked adorable in her dress and her most awesome boots. On the way out, Cody opened the passenger door and I went right in putting Delaney in her seat, then I realized that my son was not opening the door for me, but for his date! Oh what a proud mommy moment! Yes...I ruined his moment, but I was so proud of him for being such a gentleman. I think that with Delaney's car seat in between them, the mood was lost anyway. I mean come on...his first official date and his baby sister is in between him and his date with his mom dropping him off? Hey, wait...this could work!!! Maybe Cody not getting his license next year is a good idea. Delaney and I could chaperone all of his dates!! Oh how he would love that! I dropped the kids off at a nice restaurant for dinner and then after they went to the dance. They seemed like they had a wonderful time. I did get a little teary eyed on the way to pick her up, but held it together. My son's first homecoming and first official date. He looked so handsome and was a perfect gentleman (at least from what I saw)! I am so proud of him and proud to see him growing up!
