One year ago today...

This funny video was taken. If it doesn't make you smile, something's wrong with you. :)

Delaney Counts Sheep

Counting numbers and singng Baa Baa Black Sheep are two things we hear on a regular basis. I finally got it on camera after one of her naps.  My flip/blog won't let me upload videos more than one minute or so, so they're short and sweet.  Enjoy! :)

Singing Baa, Baa Black SHeep..:)

Better Late Than Never

This whole post is a little lot late, but I was trying to play with old videos that I had saved on my flip camera. I will try to upload more recent ones as I find out where they are hidden on my computer. :) This is from her first trip to the beach last summer.  She would have been 13-14 months old when it was taken, but I love her excitement when she sees the pool. Priceless.

Wild Thang!

Delaney has been such a doll these past few weeks. 21 months is the most fun stage we have been through so far.  She LOVES to count, read, and do all the things mommy and daddy do.  The only problem is that she is WAY shy in front of strangers these days.  So when asked to perform her new skills, she more than likely says "Nnnnnnno."  The past two weeks she has started sleeping full time in her toddler bed and loves it. She sleeps from 7:00ish to 6:30-7:00 the next morning. At night, Eric and I read her the book of her choice (the same Elmo book every night).  Yesterday morning, Eric and I caught her in her room reading the book to her "babies." She even knew that the page said, "wiggle your fingers." We have it on video, but not on the flip.  I will try to post some videos soon.  Here are some pictures of Miss Wild Thing eating her spaghetti dinner. BTW I didn't change the color of the spaghetti, that is really what she looked like!! :)
Such manners...

 Dessert time is the best...

 Getting ready to hit the mall with Nannie and Pop, too...

Always the same ending..:) Good bye and good night!

                             

 The end.

Ice, Ice Baby

We had an icy day today and decided to make the best of it by getting a little "outside time." We also had the best seat in the house watching all the neighborhood kids slide down the hill in their home-made sleds. :)

                                                             It was more slick than it looks...

                                                             She loved walking in it...

                                                       and didn't want to be held at all...

                             Before we went in, we decided to try to make our own home-made sled. She loved it!!

The end.

Family Talents

The Bedsole/Steadman Christmas was celebrated this weekend! Although I was not there, Eric told me about how much fun Delaney had performing for playing with everyone. :)                            

                                   She loved to show off her many talents like unwrapping gifts...

 THANK YOU!!

 We had a little trouble with our talent of getting toys out...

                                                            Terri Lynn helped her out...

And she also met her new best friend...

 Erol and Delaney were talented at feeding the penguin...

                                              Of course, Pop's talent was eating her snack...

Our "excited" face with Nannie...

                                                           and she acted silly some more...

              The food must have been wonderful, because she is great at leaving some behind on her face...:)

Delaney told me "Ter-lyn" was her pal.

I was told about how Delaney and Terri Lynn had so much fun playing with her Hello Kitty stickers. I love how Delaney looked at her in this picture. :)

                                                                        The little artist at work...

                                                           Working on her masterpiece...

                                                  and running around with Mary Beth...

  Then they decided to look out the window to  see if John and Kenny were there. Since we had shown all our talents, Delaney said her goodbyes with a kiss... :)

Morning Memories

Every now and then, Eric will send a picture of Delaney to me in the morning. He knows it is hard for me to go a whole school day without seeing her, so he makes it easier (maybe) by giving me the "surprise" of seeing her in an email. I have kept some of them, and I thought I would post them. They aren't camera quality, but it doesn't really matter to me. :)

 

Some cute things she is doing at 20 months (21 months in 8 days):

-Says two-three word phrases.
-Makes baby doll and monkey sit down for "party." (tea party)

-LOVES "o-gurt" and "pangcakes" (yogurt and pancakes) in the morning. Even when I'm microwaving something else, she thinks it is pancakes. :)

-Continues to love books and songs (her favorites right now are Cinderella and "My Bonnie.")

-She is starting to understand the potty and how it works. :)

                          

Bringin' in 2011!!

Today, we were thrilled to bring in the new year with family.  In addition to our hopes for health and happiness in the year of 2011, apparently Delaney is already working on the growth of her wealth...:)

The family happily donated any loose change. She is hoping this will lead to the success of her new year's aspiration...:)

 Whatcha got, Memaw?

 She gladly took paper money, too...:)

 After a round of donations, KK gave her a ladybug tent and book. She loved them!

 Daddy really loved putting it together...

 This picture says it all...

 Delaney was in heaven when Memaw joined her in the fun...

Happy New Year!

We hope you have a year full of good luck and prosperity. We will continue working on ours... :)
