The whole family

Delaney with Brother and Sissy

Grandma & Grandpa Fisch

Grandma & Grandpa Norris

On April 25th Delaney Grace was baptized at Central UMC. Many of our family and friends showed up to show their love and support for us and our baby. Even her Grandma and Grandpa from North Carolina came to be with us on such a special day. After Pastor Bob baptized Delaney, he took her to see the choir and down the aisle so the congregation could get a closer look. She was such a good baby and didn't cry at all. I was completely shocked. It was a beautiful service. Afterwards most of us headed back to our house for lunch. It was the perfect day. We are truely blessed to have Delaney Grace in our lives. We are so proud of her!

Easter

The Easter Bunny was good to my kids this year. No big surprise there! The morning began with the kids looking through their baskets and getting ready for church. Jordan's basket had a soccer ball, football, basketball, candy, Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, DS video game and Peeps (which became his new favorite Easter candy). Kierstin's basket had a princess doll which included a horse, carriage and castle. She also had a Wii game and candy. Delaney's basket had a very cute bunny named Foofey (named by the kids) along with giant plastic eggs with Little People in them and a book. She loved holding the plastic eggs.

After the Easter basket fun we headed to church. Delaney was happy in her Grandma's arms during the service. She played with the paper bulletin and managed to stay awake until the very end of the service. Jordan and Kierstin enjoyed the egg hunt out in the court yard. There were so many eggs that they had to quit picking them up so the little kids could get some. I enjoy sitting back and watching them run around and have a good time.

The rest of our day was spent at home. Grandma Fisch, Grandpa Fisch and Aunt Liz came over for lunch. Then Grandma and Grandpa Kammeyer stopped by in the evening with more goodies for the kids. So I'd say we had a great Easter with our family!!

7 Months Old!

The months are just flying by! Delaney turned 7 months old on April 6th. She's just a busy, happy little baby and we love her so much. I just can't get enough of her chubby little cheeks and the oh so cute rolls on her arms and legs. Here are some highlights of my precious baby girl's development thus far..

* Sitting all by herself now and has been doing this for probably a month.

* Rolling in both directions.

* Does full push up's and is trying to get up on her knees.

* Tries to grab everything and anything that is within her reach or out of her reach.

* Repeats the "mama" sound and enjoys to talk to herself with baby babble.

* Picking up cheerios pretty easily with the pincher grasp.

* Loves to play Peek-a-boo.

* Starting to get upset when I leave the room.

* Recognizes her own name.

* Bounces up and down while in her highchair or on my lap.

* Loves to eat carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, applesauce and pears.

* Hates green beans, peas, and bananas.

* Sleeping 10-12 hours at night now.

Our Little Valentine

Just some sweet pictures of Delaney from her very first Valentine's Day. Someday she'll enjoy the special cards, chocolate's and flowers. But for now she's just happy being cute and posing for her Mama!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Rob and Kierstin attended the Daddy Daughter Dance at her school. They got all dressed up and off they went on their special "date" night. There's nothing better then seeing the two of them together. She's such a "Daddy's Little Girl". Now imagine 50 or so little girls with their Daddy's bouncing around doing the Cha Cha Slide. Wish I could have been a fly on a wall to watch that craziness.

Brotherly and Sisterly LOVE

I have to admit that we have the most proud big brother and big sister in the world. They absolutely adore their baby sister. Delaney has decided that her brother is pretty funny. All Jordan has to do is make a funny face and she's all grins and giggles. She is also trying to figure out how to give him kisses. She reaches for his face with both hands and with a wide open mouth leans forward. So precious. Then their is the big sister, Kierstin. Delaney has figured out that it's so much fun to pull her sisters hair and Kierstin gets quite a kick out of it too. Anything Delaney needs, her brother and sister will dutifully get for her. Which isn't quite so bad for Rob and I when we need an extra hand. Yeah for big kids!

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.
