Rice Cereal

Her face says it all! We decided to give Delaney her first taste of solid food last night. The oh so appetizing rice cereal. She was very cooperative. She opened her mouth when I presented the spoon in front of her. I put it in her mouth and she gave me this look of disgust. I'm sure I will see that face a lot as she tries new things. Just thought this picture was too cute not to share.

Our Karate Kid

We are so very proud to announce that Jordan now has his BLACK belt in Tae Kwon Do! This has been 2 years in the making. Jordan has faithfully attended classes twice a week to get to this point. Every couple of months he would have to test to get a different color belt. We have been through.. white, orange, yellow, camoflauge, green, purple, blue, brown, red, black/red and now BLACK. He set a goal and has happily achieved what he set out to do. So he is now a 1st degree black belt and has informed me that he wants to be a 2nd degree black belt. I have no doubt that if he keeps up the hard work, he can do it. Congrats Jordan!

4 Months Old!

I know how fast they grow because of Jordan, but man has it already been 4 months!?! Delaney has changed so much in just a short time. She now weighs 14 lbs 4 oz and is 24 inches long. Here is a list of her many talents at this point....

* Lifts her head very well now when on her tummy.

* Can roll from her back to her tummy.

* Loves to sit up with support, either in your lap or in the Bumbo.

* Tracks objects very well with her eyes.

* Bats at objects that are in front of her.

* Puts her hands together and grabs things.

* Chews on EVERYTHING.

* Has found her feet and can almost put them in her mouth.

* Very vocal with coos, gurgles and squeals.

* Lots of smiles and laughter.

* Can bear weight on her legs.

* Makes the "Ma Ma" sound when she cries.

* Blows bubbles.

She is absolutely, without a doubt a Mama's Girl. I'm her favorite person in the world right now, and I'm loving every minute of it! My favorite part of the day is bathtime. She has always enjoyed the bath, but she has now figured out that she can kick and splash and make a big mess! She will splash and then look at us for a reaction. For now we encourage her fun. Daddy's going to have a field day with her when she gets older! He's always telling Jordan and Kierstin not to get water on the floor. But for now Delaney can take full advantage of it. My other favorite thing to do is cuddle with her. She snuggles with me and buries her head in my chest. There aren't enough words in this world to describe the love I feel for Delaney. Happy 4 months baby girl!
