Mary had a little lamb... but we found her!

~EDIT:

Also, on Saturday we went to Auntie Ashley's so that Jon & Ash could go out for their anniversary. Auntie Ashley had an Easter gift for Delilah- it was the most adorable Precious Moments prayer bunny. Delilah's first one. Thank you Auntie Ashley!

P.S. I didn't ~intentionally~ forget- John was hurrying me along to get out the door ;-)

Yesterday was Easter- Delilah's 1st. Daddy got a card from Delilah and of course, she got lots of great stuff from Mom & Dad :-) We got her a first Easter card, fisher-price "gumball machine", a fisher price Sing-a-long stage, the Pinocchio DVD, a stuffed bunny, a lion bank, a rattle, keys, a toy to play with when we go out to eat that sticks on the table, a lovey (a blanket with a stuffed animal head attached) & a book... Quackie & Quertie. Er, that's Gossie & Gertie rather ;-)

After we shared our Easter morning together we packed up & headed off to Grammy & Pappy Hans'. There we were greeted by not only Grammy & Pappy Hans but also Great Grandma Gerst. After 3 long months, give or take, she's back from Georgia. Delilah is so excited to have her back & to get to know her. From Great Grandma Delilah got the cutest, ginormous Easter card & monetary gift. From Grammy & Pappy she got a very cute card, monetary gift, basket w/candy (well that's more for mommy & daddy), 101 Dalmatians DVD, adorable Easter bunny & the fisher price Crawl n cruise magical jungle (which she LOVES).

Friday we went to John's parents for our Easter visit. It was a lovely visit where Delilah didn't cry for Grandma & PapPap. They also gave Delilah an Easter basket with candy (also for mommy & daddy) and card.

Yesterday Delilah made the funniest face- I don't even know how to describe it exactly but we call it "The Monkey Face". It was the first time she made it & as I was taking a video of her in her exersaucer I caught the face on camera & took a snapshot of it.

A playdate at Auntie Ashley's

Yesterday we went over to Auntie Ashley's for another play date (our last one didn't go too well with Landon feeling yucky from his top teeth coming in- poor lil guy). I just love it when these two little babies get together. They are so in love with each other- I love seeing both of their faces light up at just the sight of each other. And of course we can't forget Shawn who Delilah is also infatuated with (but not as much as Landon hehe). Auntie Ashley was kind enough to give Delilah a jar of green beans (it was dinner time for all of the little ones) and we got some really cute pics of her feeding herself. Ok, she wasn't really but she was playing with the spoon & it had green beans on it ;-)

Today Auntie Ashley & I went house hunting while John watched Shawn & Landon (we took Delilah). Auntie Ashley & Uncle Jon are looking in to moving from this hellhole we call Sunbury. Ok, ok... where we live isn't ~that~ bad but it is Sunbury still. I'm hoping we'll be able to join them in moving someday soon. Seeing the house we saw today definitely makes you appreciate what you have (not that it was horrible but it wasn't "The One").

O my one socked wonder

The two cutest babies in town

John's road rage

That's right- John has road rage... or so some random woman told us today. We were on our way home from my parents (Grammy Hans got home today so we went up to get her from Grandma Gerst's house to take her home and visit a little) and came upon the turn to go in to the Hol.su.m parking lot (we turn there to then go down our alley to the back of our house). Suddenly this woman in a big SUV pulls out in front of us from Race Street (on the left) and goes straight (in to the parking lot). And of course, she's on her cell phone. John kind of does this thing he does where he gets a little too close (which scares me like usual), beeps his horn, and swerves around her (she stopped dead in the middle of Hol.su.m parking lot) and flies in to the alley. He turns in to the alley & parks the car. She follows us in to the alley. I say "Great." thinking 'O boy she's going to start screaming at us.'

She rolls down her window & at first is apologizing. She's not from around here, she thought it was a 4 way stop (it's not), and she's lost (there's a detour thing going on). John's like "That's ok. No problem" when she says "I don't appreciate the road rage." Oo boy- she shouldn't have said that! He starts yelling "Get the f*ck out of here!" And I'm saying to her "We have a BABY in the car!". In the midst of that she's saying she has two kids in the car and could we at least give her directions. John takes Delilah in to the house & I reluctantly go over to give her directions (I'm too nice to just walk away & leave her... and normally John would be too but she ~really~ pissed him off). I give her directions & she adds in again how she didn't appreciate blah, blah, blah... I ignored it.

We're lucky she didn't have a gun or something (because you never know!) and vice versa.

Ashley's right- I am going to get myself shot one day LoL

A busy Sunday

Today was a busy day for little Delilah... first we went to my parents' house to visit Pappy (Grammy is in Georgia bringing Great Grandma home- Delilah misses you Grammy!). After that we were headed out to Grandma & PapPap Williams' because we didn't get to go see them yesterday. Delilah, I think, was hungry & a bit tired (short nap on the way there) because as soon as we handed her to Grandma she started crying. It wasn't until a bit later when she was all fed & playing on the floor with Grandma that she was smiling & happy. She loves those little piggy toes!

Now, every Sunday Grandma & PapPap have guests come out to have dinner & play dominoes... one of those guests being Great Grandma Williams. We decided to visit until the dominoes crew came out so Delilah could visit with Gram Williams & little and we could get a few pics. She hasn't seen Gram Williams since before Christmas so she was a little unfamiliar with her & got the lip out ("stranger" anxiety is normal for this age).

Afterwards we headed down to Great Grandma Kurtz's house... to my surprise, since Delilah also has not seen Grandma Kurtz for a bit, Delilah didn't cry. At least, not right away. After a bit she decided she wanted her mommy (it was mommy day today!). Delilah did so well for such a busy day today... even when we got home when it was time for a bath & bed and she was tired she did really well. I'm so proud of lil munch!


The bib says it all ;-)

Peas and Carrots and Green beans- o my!

So yesterday Delilah tried her final vegetable... green beans! Now I don't think she liked them, but I don't think she didn't like them. Of course when you view the pictures you'll see she's made pretty much the same face that she's made with all the other vegetables. I want a FACE!! LoL Next on the agenda is fruit but I'm going to wait a little on those & just do vegetables for a few more weeks (and I promise Auntie Ashley that you WILL get to be present for the first fruit! ;-) ).

I was so proud of her yesterday- she was playing in her exersaucer & grabbed a hold of the hangy things and pulled on them! That was the first time :-) She also took a nice 2 hour nap in the afternoon... those kinds are rare... usually she only takes a nap for about an hour.

We're still trying the bottle- unsuccessfully. I'm not sure she'll ever take one. I really don't know what to do about it... and our pedi has no suggestions for us either. I just want to stay home with her... she needs her mommy... and mommy needs her. Come on Holsom :-\

Almost rolled over!

~EDITED~

Yesterday we visited Auntie Ashley for a playdate. Delilah was laying on her back on the floor and all of a sudden was rolling from her back to her tummy! Well almost... her right arm got in the way & instead of going over the rest of the way she flopped back on to her back.

* Today we went for a walk with Auntie Ashley, Shawn & Landon to our usual walking spot. Auntie Ashley brought along her new camera (an easy carry along point & shoot for just such occasions). I love our walks there & Shawn loves to walk too. He begs to get out & walk around and run up to the trees. He also likes to inspect the steps & knock on the doors of certain buildings. Shawn also decided to take Landon for a walk. He wouldn't bring him back though LoL

Tomorrow we'll be trying green beans. I hope they fare well for her stomach- the peas seemed to give her some trouble... or maybe that was because she hadn't pooped for like 2 days. I dunno- but sweet relief came yesterday (for her that is ;-) )
