Delaney Lou - 4 Months Old

Our sweet girl turned four months old last Tuesday and it's crazy how fast time is going by. It seems like just yesterday I was still pregnant and dreaming of the day that we'd meet her. 

February 17, 2015 - 4 Months Old

All About You Delaney Lou...

You had your 4 month doctor appointment on Friday, February 20th and you weighed 13 pounds 9 ounces and were 24 3/4 inches long. You are in the 45% for your weight and the 60% for your height.

You weren't in size 1 diapers for very long and are already in size 2.

You are in 3-6 month clothes and really need the 6 month in pants for the length.

You're eyes are still kind of gray. 

You don't have a ton of hair, but it's definitely growing and you're starting to get more of it. It looks different colors at different times. Sometimes it looks brown, but in the sunlight it looks light and has some light shades of red in it. I guess we'll continue to wait and see. 

You're not rolling over yet, but you sure are trying to. You try your hardest to roll from your back to your tummy. 

Even though you're not rolling, it doesn't mean you don't move. You spin yourself in circles all over the floor. 

You love looking at the TV.

You have the heartiest laugh and I LOVE it! Your sisters can really make you giggle.

Sleep...well, let's just say it hasn't been great these past few weeks, but the last few days haven't been as bad. Maybe you're about to hit a milestone!?!

You still love being swaddled at night. I tried not to once and you weren't very happy.

You love grabbing your toys that hang on your play mat.

You put EVERYTHING in your mouth and you love chewing fingers, no matter if they're yours or not. 

You love kicking your legs in the water during your bath and it's so cute. 

You love pulling hair and lucky for you between me, your YaYa and Ashton, you have lots to pull.

You smile constantly. 

You love to be held and faced outward so that you can see what's going on. 

You're always wanting to "stand" or sit in an upright position. 

You don't like being left alone and are happiest when you can see someone.

Last month when I said you'd definitely found your voice, I was wrong. You truly found your voice this month. You absolutely love being talked to and "talking" back. Your PawPaw gets the biggest kick out of you and I talking back and forth to each other. And it really is pretty cute!

Here's a link to a video of you "talking"...

Delaney "Talking"

Delaney Lou you continue to bring so much happiness to our family and everyone that is around you. You put a smile on everyone's face and are such a blessing. While you are growing so fast and it kills me, I love seeing all of your changes and your BIG personality shining through. As a mom, you always wonder how you will love another child as much as you do the first or second, but I love you so much and I thank God for letting me be your mommy each and every day!

She didn't know what to think when she splashed herself!?!

Oh that smile...

This sweet thing loves her PawPaw.

Hair pulling...her favorite thing to do...

Kaylyn's 12th Birthday

February 15, 2003 seems like just yesterday, but here we are 12 years later and my baby really isn't a baby anymore. With each passing year, the birthday parties get easier and easier and this year was no different. The weekend prior to her actual birthday, Kaylyn had a few friends over to hang out and we all went to Melting Pot for dessert. It was the perfect day and the perfect party for my sweet girl!

Fun with Friends

Kaylyn didn't ask for much for her birthday, but she did ask if she could start wearing mascara. I've definitely been really strict regarding makeup, but thought that a little bit of mascara would be okay. 

For her present, we got her a monogrammed makeup bag with some mascara in it.

 

She was so excited!

She also got a new lunch box...

And some new flats. The funny thing though is that these are the same shoes that I have and the same size. I knew it wasn't going to be long before her foot outgrew mine!

The day after Kaylyn's birthday we celebrated with grandparents at her favorite place, Olive Garden.

Sweet sisters getting ready to go celebrate.

All of our girls...

Kaylyn got a really nice Origami Owl necklace from MeeMee.

And she also got gift cards to her favorite store, Chameleon from PawPaw and Grandma & Boppa.

Everyone celebrating our sweet girl.

Happy 12th Birthday to my caring, sweet, intelligent, beautiful baby girl. It seems like only yesterday that you came into my life and made me a mama. I am so proud of you and the young lady that you've become. You are the best daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend that anyone could ask for. I love you more and more each day!
