"Daddy...where are you?"

"Where are you" is Dalyla's new thing she calls out.
And it is so cute how she says it. Whe ah vyou..:) LOL!
She is also now saying "I love you". So sweet. The other night she rubbed under my chin with both of her hands and said, "I love you" and gave me a big hug. OMG, melts my heart!
She is the sweetest kid ever. She does have her little naughty streak and man is she determined. But I love everything about her!
We are trying to teach her to pedal her trike now. Last friday was such a nice day weather wise. We went to the park and for a walk. Then she was able to play in her sand box for a bit too.
We just bought a trailer and when we went to go pay for it she played in the bunk beds. OMG, you would have thought she was in heaven. She already figured out how to turn on and off the light. :)

Mommy's Shoes

I think it is time to buy her some princess high heels!

Independence and Determination

Relaxing during time out because Dalyla refuses to get dressed:



And why she's at it, off with the diaper:




Dalyla is determined and independent. There is no reasoning usually. Bribery sometimes works. :)
Love this kid!

"No, No.."

This is Dalyla's new phrase for everything!
She will say "No, No" and then throw her arms down and hit her legs.
She likes to run away from me everytime we try to get dressed or put her coat on. She pretty much tells me "no, no" 24/7.
Robert told me we (me) need to start putting her in time out when she does this. Oh how fun this will be!
Dalyla can count to 12 now. Im not sure if that is advanced or not but it sure seems like it to me. She can also sing her ABC's but they go something like this, Bah Bah Black Sheep...EFG..M'n M....
LOL! She confuses Bah bah black sheep with her ABC's.
She says phrases and gets her thoughts jumbled as she tries to say them. She get so excited to talk.
She is my fruit eater. She eats any kind of fruit. It is hard to get her to try new things but typically she likes them once she does. She eats a lot of pasta. She asks for "noodles" all of the time.

This morning she laid in my bed (naked of course) and watched "hartoons". She looked so snuggly. She definitely likes to snuggle.

Robert and I are getting excited for our cruise on the 20th. I am sad to leave Dalyla because I miss her so much when I am gone. But I am definitely looking forward to a carefree few days with Robert and friends.

I have been traveling so much for work. Robert has been a single dad for a bit. He doesn't like it much.

Well other than going crazy at work and living the day to day dream nothing is new.
Well I guess one thing new...we are going to buy a 5th wheel trailer. he-he~!

My little baby is now so grown up

Ok, so Dalyla is such a big girl now! I am starting to get sad at how fast she is growing up. I no longer wish for her to be older. Truly!
Aside from changing her bum, she is so fun! She is repeating everything I say now. Yes, this includes the bad words...hmm, "S.H.I.T." and "STUPID" woops.
I said this morning while picking out clothes in the closet, "Stupid cat, she peed in the closet, ugh". So Dalyla says "Stupid..kitty cat". WOOPSIE! Note to self, she is a recorder. I know we all have these experiences with our kids, but who knew it was so true. LOL!
I didn't realize how much I said the word Shit until now. She says it often so I now have tried to start saying "rats" instead. On the way home from Grandmas last night I said "rats" and she said "shit". Ha-ha!

Dalyla loves to dance. She was trying to play with the karoeke machine too. I think she will be a mover and a groover.



She is so into her baby that she got for Christmas. She has to take her clothes off and then says "Neeked" for naked. She eats with her baby now in the high chair and she even likes to bring the baby to the bath. Baby isn't supposed to go "in" the bath but she does anyway.

She loved Christmas this year. She didn't feel well but she was such a trooper. I had to wake her up because we were up all night with her being sick. She was so excited with all of the toys every ime she opened them.
we haven't been able to ride her new Trike yet but she wants to and says "bike" every time she sees it.











Work has been so hectic lately. I have two out of town trips i have to make at the end of January. Then I get to turn around and go on vacation in February. I am going to hate life leaving Dalyla so much. At least when I leave for work I know that her Daddy is home with her and I am not totally abandoning her. She is a momma's girl though.

I am hoping to evaluate my wants and needs for myself this year and really determine my goals. I am not quite sure what my goals are and so I think it makes work hard for me. I feel like I need to accomplish something. I really need to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. Is that go back to school? Is it continue where I am at? because I definitely haven't mastered account management. Or do I find a new line of work?

I do think one of my personal goals will be to join a Crossfit gym and try to get more serious. I never seem to find the time, but maybe I can work on that. I would really like to learn how to do the exercises better so that I don't continue to injure my knees.

I also have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my husband! He is amazing and beautiful. I will have to edit this and post pics of Xmas when I get home.

Here are some New Years fun photos! It was a mild but fun one!
