19 whole months + 2 days - by delaney

i meant to write an 18 month post, it was to be my last. i really did mean to, but... you know.

july 29th came and went. 

then i meant to write an on-time 19 month post, but... you know.

 august 29 came and went. 

but, better late than never, right? 

i mean, i was 10 days late to be born, so what's 2 days late for a post, right?!

things come up, skirts are to be worn, dances danced, and i just didn't have time.

and perhaps i'm waxing nostalgic at this end of an era. i mean, my last monthly post, it's kind of a big deal. so i decided i'll be back as a guest poster. maybe a bi-yearly kind of thing, just to help the old moms out. you know how i like to help.

so here's my serious look...

and now silly!

i'm versatile.

i'm also growing hair! check out that barrette! hot dang, look out! i'm pretty sure i even have enough for a pebbles 'do up top. awww, yeah!

i lo-oo-oo-oo-oove juicey!

and phones. 

phones are good too.

i also love this little love seat. i am a prim and proper lady.

and just a teensy bit maniacal about my popcorn.

and then all lady-likeness flies out the window on the buttery wings of the p-corn.

 

yum, yum, yum, yum!

shoes are another passion of mine.

and there's almost nothing i love better than to sit on my loveseat and read a nice book.

i also love sissy's room on laundry day. there are just so many ensembles to choose from! and they're all over the floor! it's awesome!

i am a pretty happy girl. i love everyone in my family pretty evenly right now. i even say frankie sometimes. and froggy too, for good measure.

i love big people things like lighters, griddles, markers, all those things that are so good for babies to play with!

i'm a pretty good sleeper right now too. here's our routine: mommy reads me some books - current fav's are my tiny board books that sissy got me for christmas. they're all educational, like about circles, music, and colors, and i really love to read them, and stack them, and throw them. but back to sleeping, after we read, we sing 3 songs, then mom lays me in my crib and sings one more song before she leaves. even if i'm awake i don't cry when she leaves! it's a good routine we got going on. daddy doesn't know how she does it. i don't know how long i'll keep it up, but for now it's working. :)

 i love dolls! but do you want to know an ugly little secret about me? i also love to say "mine!" some days i use it more than others, some days not at all, but boy, if you try to take something i'm holding or want, i will "mine!" you all day long.

 

 do you notice anything in common about all these pictures? my lovey! i love my lovey! i carry it around and when i go to bed i say "lovey? lovey?" so i can cuddle with it as i fall asleep. i love my blanket too, but it's just a little too big for me now, so my lovey is perfect!

 

oh, another love-o-mine?

glasses!

do you love them upside down?

 

 do you love them with your mom?

 

 do you love them with addie's shoes?

do you love them 5 sizes too big?

and yes, the answer to all those questions is yes.

 

still not a fan of eating, but some things are too tasty to pass up.

i love dogs! i get excited and start stomping and say "woof, woof!"

i tell when i'm poopy now and i hate to be changed. i say "owww, owww!" (even though it doesn't really hurt) and i've even asked to sit on the potty! look out, frankie, i'm catching up!

i talk all the time! i know so many words now, it's not even funny. and i say sentences! i'll say "want water, some" and other cute sentences like that (that i can't really think of right now).

i'm pretty easy going, but i have been known to throw some huge fits. just today when mama put me down to leave, i threw myself off the chair and onto the floor and laid there and cried. drama!

i love everything girlie! if i see anyone painting their nails i'll pretty persistently ask them to paint mine. and then for the next few days mom will catch me just staring at my nails. so then i'll point and say "pretty!" it's pretty adorable.

life has been a little different this past week without addie home all day. i mean, i'm used to bubba and sissy being gone all day, but addie too? actually, it's all good!

 frankie and i have been playing together a lot and it's been so fun!

want to know something terrifying???

rhonda the roomba!

it's horrible! actually, i'm getting more brave by the minute, like today i could stand to be in the same room with it while it was running, so that's a definite step in the right direction.

anyway, i guess that's all about me right now. i go to nursery pretty easily. sister aina and sister darrow watched me a few times and i did pretty okay for them. i'm pretty sweet and happy and lovable. 

and i'm 19 months! 

and 2 days.

love,

delaney
