A Sad Dylan (aka Daffodil)

As soon as I walked in the door this afternoon to pick up the girls, Lexy greeted me with an outstretched arm full of daffodils!  What a nice surprise for a mommy on what was a long Monday.  Except I have to give one to daddy.  Anyway, on our way home Lex keeps saying, "Mommy, it's sad, it's so sad.  Look mommy, it's sad."  I was like okay, and kept on driving.  Then, I actually look behind me and she was holding the daffodils out, sure enough, one had broken and it was drooping down.  Lex says, "See, I told you mommy, it's sad."  Then, later, 3 of them had broken somehow (wonder how that happened?) and I heard her say, "Now, there are 3 sad dylan's...that was her interpretation of "daffodil".  How cute.  I tell her she is crackin' me up today and she says...yep momma, I sure am!

Mama...Finally!

Delaney finally said momma for the first time on March 26th.  Yea!  How exciting.  She said dada and momma within 1 day of each other.  With Lexy, I had to wait an entire month for her to say momma.  Delaney is just learning new things every day.  She's starting to "liven up" I guess you could say. 

We had Delaney's first Easter pictures made and Lexy's 4th yesterday with Heather.  I think they are going to be so great.  She had baby chicks.  Delaney squeezed them about to death and Lexy didn't care for them scratching her.  But, I can't wait to see how they turned out!

On another note, we will be carrying Delaney to the doctor this afternoon.  This will be the first time she will be going to the doctor for a sick visit.  We've been lucky that she has been so healthy her first 8 1/2 months.  Hopefully this is just sinuses and nothing more than that.

Daddy's Girl

Delaney finally said her first official word...can you guess..."da da"! I should have known. Lexy said "da da" first too. I guess little girls are "daddy's girls"...at least mine are. How precious though to hear your sweet baby say something. Now, if she can just get momma out. Did I mention her first tooth has come through as well? On the bottom, a little glimpse of white is showing. I guess that was that week of sleeplessness (is that a word).  Delaney is such the best sleeper, well, that was until the week of spring break.  But, she's back to normal...sleeping away...in her own crib now.  My, my, how time flies. 

Lexy is obsessed with playing on the "puter" (computer).  She asks everyday if she can play on her game...starfall.com.  She loves it, and it's funny because the sound on our computer doesn't work and  she still loves it even though she can't hear any of the words or sounds.  She especially loves to recycle on it.  As I am typing this she is begging, "When are you going to let me play on my stuff?  When, momma?  When?"  Enjoy the pics!

Firsts...

Okay, so this is my first blog ever!  It's taking me a while to figure this whole thing out.  But, when I visit my blog to see what it's looking like, I want to actually see a post.  So, here it is!  What a beautiful day!  And, what is worse than being stuck inside cleaning?  I took the girls out for a stroll.  Lexy had been dying to go out and play.  I was strolling Delaney down our driveway and back and Lexy says, "Mom, what are we doing?"  "Taking a stroll" I say.  Next thing I know she is on her tricycle yelling, "Here I go mom, I'm takin' a stroll...watch out!"  I love when she picks up on things I say and then she uses them in her own sentences.  We also played ball, and she kept calling her strikes, stripes.  Too cute! 

Oh, and Delaney pulled up to stand for the first time on a big basket of toys.  Precious.  She is learning new things every day!  I love being their mommy!
