Dalyla Skye Mommy's Butterfly




She is so amazing! She is laughing a lot now. She can sit up all by herself and stay sat up. She rolls but only if she gets so mad from being on her tummy. She just doesn't care to roll much. She loves to stand up and jump with her legs. In her Jumperoo Im afraid she is going to give herself whiplash from jumping so much.

She got a new high-chair now. She loves it. And she loves to try to feed herself.

She has two new teeth now and still teething. Im thinking she will have her 4 bottom teeth pretty quickly.

Robert and I went and spent the night at the Hilton downtown and had drinks. It was a nice night to get away. Although of course I didn't sleep at all. We really enjoy having some time to actually have conversation. I forget how that feels sometimes. Day to day life gets so busy with work and remodeling and being mom. What a great time it is though. I wouldn't change it for the world.
We are so happy and we are so happy to have Dalyla. Sometimes I think it is too good to be true.

week night quiet time





It is Tuesday night at 930pm and all is quiet. I rocked my precious Dalyla to sleep and Robert is outside working. It has been a long day. Work is so stressful. Somedays I think of ways to possibly quit my job but still make my salary. :) If anyone finds a way to do this please let me know.
New things with Dalyla this month:
She is splashing all around in the bath. I took a video of her but need to grey out her unmentionables before publishing. They say this site is secure but ya never know. She is so much fun. Teething has not been too fun. She has been a bit more whiney. Although she is never a bad baby. She is always so sweet and easy going. When I go to pick her up after work she rubs her head on my chest and starts fussing because she wants to breast feed. I was going to ween her off this month but now she comes to expect it. I love it though. So who knows, maybe I will put up with one more month of pumping. She is worth it.
SHe loves to jump in her jumperoo. She has figured out how to really work those legs. She really can concentrate on small things and loves to put anything she can in her mouth. Her shirts are drenched in minutes from slobber. She has been trying many different foods. She has had squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, peas, green beans, pears, peaches, applesauce, and rice cereal with probiotics of course. :)
She doesn't much care for the green beans. And when I fed her the peaches they were much too tart, however Grandma J tried them again and she seemed to like them. Her tastes change every day.
She is sleeping mostly in her own bed. She wakes up once a night, I feed her and she goes back to sleep until about 6am. Then I go get her and put her in bed with us. She will usually feed and go back to sleep sometimes til 10am!

Robert is working his guts out on our addition. He has been going at it nonstop for a week plus working his normal job all day, which is getting very busy. Im very proud of him. I can't help much because Dalyla takes my time and it's too cold for her to hang out outside. I did help him survey and come to find out..ha-ha, well the walls aren't level. WOOPS. See what happens when I help.

Thanksgiving is coming up already. I am going to cook dinner and have my dad and that side of the family over and also Robert's side of the family. It will be a big dinner. Brunch is the usual with my mom. I look forward to her biscuits and gravy! She is a great cook!
a couple exciting things to look forward to this month is my favorite annual date night with Trish to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Dalyla will be 6 months on the 27th.

Well it is now my time to get ready for bed and have 5minutes to wind down. How I enjoy my family and don't regret a single moment of it. I do regret not being wonder woman like my husband was for Halloween.

My goodness how time flies. It's already half through October! Dalyla will be 5 months. She is so big. weighing in at 16 lbs and as happy as can be! She loves to scream to hear herself. She laughs now and loves the bath. She kicks and kicks. She dunked her face in the water and snorted some. She didn't cry or fuss.
Her big milestone this month was learning to eat food and drinking juice. She also held the spoon and it put in her very own mouth.

I have been a slacker on posts and pictures.

Robert is beginning our excavation for our basement extension and carport build. What a project this will be.
We are looking forward to having a big common room so we can have lots of friends and family over to visit.

Work has been very busy for us both. We did manage to take a weekender alone to Vegas. We left Dalyla with Grandma J. I think I missed her more than she missed me. :) Well probably my boobs missed her the most. :)
It was great to laugh and have a good time with Robert though. It has been a while.

It was Aspen's 4th birthday so Dalyla got to go to her first birthday party. She had fun playing with the other kids (haha).
Dalyla played at home with her best friend Avalin and little Easton. She played so hard she fell a sleep in her Jumperoo. :)
