mother's day

There is something about being a mom that makes you realize just how incredible your mom really is!  Thank you mom for all the sacrifices you have made for me.  Thank you for loving me unconditionally even when I wasn't the easiest to love.  Thank you for your patience with me.  Thank you for your wisdom.  Thank you for your godly example.  I could go on and on forever!  I am so blessed to have you as my mom!

Can I just tell you how much I love that I am a mother?  Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming.  I love that I get to be at home with my sweet Delaney Grace.  Thank you to my wonderful husband who makes that possible!  Some of our favorite things to do theses days are going to the zoo, playing at the park, reading books, gardening together (Delaney loves dirt, rocks and wood chips), playing with bubbles, playing at the water table, and really anything that involves being outside.

Delaney is beginning to walk!  Walking is still not her preferred way to get around but she takes steps from time to time.  She is also beginning  to eat a few more foods.  The newest food that she will eat is chicken nuggets. I never thought I would be so excited for a child to eat chicken nuggets!  Delaney's menu of choice consists of:

  • bananas
  • peanut butter toast
  • cinnamon raison toast
  • cereal and milk
  • blueberry waffles
  • pizza
  • cheese (favorite)
  • goldfish
  • yogurt covered pretzels
  • chicken nuggets
No, the list is not long but this is an improvement!  We are working on expanding our horizons, but for now I will take it.  

Here are a few pictures
