Lions, and Tigers, and People..Oh my!!

The weather has been so crazy that it has been hard for us to enjoy the weather as a family. But this Saturday, Eric and I decided to battle the crowds and take Delaney to the zoo. It was so crowded that we were sent to the grassy area at the entrance. I usually get anxious about crowds, but it wasn't bad at all. When we first stepped through the gates we had to stop to take some pictures. :)

Then Delaney enjoyed the brightly-colored birds and feeding the fish in the water.
She loved the flamingos at first...

Then she felt like this...

She and Eric had a blast on the carousel...


Then we did a LOT of pointing...



The last stop was the petting zoo where Delaney loved on the goats. We were a little afraid she would pull their hair, like she does Oscar, but she was very gentle and smiled the whole time!!


After all that excitement we took a nap when we got home. She and I will have some mommy-daughter time this week since it's spring break. YAY!!!

Lovebug on the Loose

Delaney is everywhere these days! Keeping the house clean while trying to sale it has been a little difficult. She now knows where we keep her toys, and can crawl over to take them out of the basket. She thinks it is hilarious when she takes each toy out to show us which one she has in her hand. Delaney's smile has become VERY toothy, and she loves to show them off. :)Here are some recent events: She had a great first Valentine's day with the family. Eric and I gave her a crawl-through train. She and daddy had a blast getting stuck in it together. My parents gave her some adorable clothes from our favorite store, Pampolina. She also received girly building blocks from Eric's mom. She has thoroughly enjoyed tearing down Eric's castles. Aunt LB and Mike gave her a stuffed ladybug that she loves on when she is crawling around. Eric's aunt, Pat, gave her a ball that rolls around on its own, and keeps her going. She crawls so much that in some pics you'll see her lip has a scab on it from a "crawling accident." The weather has been crazy, so the pictures are VERY random. From the snow day, February 13, to sunny pics from today's after-church picnic (she loves her mashed potatoes and biscuits from KFC), we took as many as we could while trying to catch up with her. After all the fun, we enjoy watching our 10 month old baby girl take a nap... just to do to it all over again in about an hour. :)

Proof

On Sunday, January 24, 2010 Delaney was recognized during the church service. It was Baby Recognition Day, so all the babies born in 2009 were acknowledged and given a sweet baby bible. She loved hers.



Eric and I were also able to hear an awesome sermon on "Doubt". Eric and I are so blessed to be able to see one of His most precious miracles everyday. But to those people who don't believe, you're looking right at the proof...


Isn't God grand?!

Here is a cute video of Laneybug lovin' herself. :)
