And I Love Her....

One of Delaney's favorite activities is to lie on her activity mat and stare at the giraffe and elephant. I either sing to her or we listen to Rockabye Baby U2 or Beatles CD's. Delaney much prefers those CD's over me singing. Tyson enjoys these times as well. If Olive were more assertive you would see her head in the pic but she is hanging out in the background.
Another one of Delaney's favorite activities is to lie on her back on the bed and stare up. What she is staring at is beyond me but I would like to think it is something really fabulous, not just the ceiling fan with big dust clumps.
Delaney and I take long walks every day and this is the adorable face I get to look at on our travels. She appears to take these walks very seriously.

Delaney's First bath

Delaney will be so pissed at me when she's older for this one. I had to do it though. It's a little long so only if you're really interested watch it. I think it's adorable. She did really well. Should have videotaped the second bath. She really loved that one. We definitely have a water baby.

Delaney and Fam on Memorial Day

Delaney is keepin it real on her first holiday. She's regulatin' the peeps coming in and out of the Roberts crib. I wouldn't mess with her, would you?

The Roberts family had a fabulous Memorial Day at our house. Dave, Mandi, Davis, and Morgan all came over to the pool to swim. Randy and Davis "dive" off the side together.

Mandi and I work on our tans while Davis strikes a pose.

Delaney is 2 weeks old today

Time is flying by so fast. I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since Delaney was born. Our days go by quickly but honestly I can't really tell you what we do. Randy asks when he gets home from work and I have several things to report, such as "took a walk", "played on activity mat" but I don't know what consumes the rest of the day. It's probably the large amount of eating and pooping but I also think it's that I am so mesmerized by her it takes me 20 minutes to do anything. My fast paced OCD world has certainly slowed down. Thank you Delaney---I needed it!!

Delaney is now much more aware of things and loves to look at herself in the mirror. She also loves to go outside and look at trees. We did have "Olive the Nature Dog"....now we have "Delaney the Nature Child" as well. Watch out Rick Flair.

Watch out You Tube. Delaney's First Video at 10 Days Old and She LOVES Being On Camera.

Delaney and some various Aunties

Delaney and Mia discuss their parents. Mia: "I've noticed that the tall cute one helps out with our poop and the shorter one with the fuzzy hair dresses us in outfits. Neither of them can sing worth a damn." Delaney: "I like to dance when they sing, especially "Hooked on a Feeling". Mia: "At least you don't have to wear your initial around your neck. Thank God it's connected to a rhinestone, I mean diamond, collar so I maintain some sort of class."



Auntie Monica bonds with Delaney.

Auntie Steph meets Delaney for the first time. She was wearing her running shoes so I had to watch her carefully to make sure she wasn't going to steal my baby. Auntie Becky was not pictured because she had a tad bit of a cold.

My nickname growing up was Sparkle Darkle, and now just shortened to Sparkle. Delaney will be Sparkle Jr. as captured in her fab-o onesie made by her Auntie Kimmie.
