October Already!

Well, it is already October and I haven't done the best keeping up on this since I re launched by blog! Delanie is talking like crazy. She likes to repeat everything she hears. She repeats her whole alphabet with grandma. She is learning her manners too. Although please comes out like peas. We have had some sickness at our house. I guess that is to be expected when I work in two elementary schools. I have been out all this week. I have been blessed with the flu and Delanie has a bad cold along with one ear bothering her. Monday we went and got her 18 month pictures taken despite the sickness. She did fairly well, but we had a hard time keeping her in front of the camera. We will have to think of something different for a family picture because Bruce couldn't make it.

It is about that time of the year that I rarely see Bruce. Hunting, hunting, and more hunting. As soon as I get to see Delanie's pics, I will post a few for you to see.

All those words!

Well, I thought I had better post an update, because I have a little smarty pants on my hands. Basically about 3 months ago Delanie really started to take off saying words. All of the sudden she is getting really close to repeated almost everything you say. I guess that means I need to be extra careful with the words I choose. Today she wanted more pears and I said use your words and she said more and did the sign language gesture for it. Then as I always do I say "more please". She started saying more please! Also I was talking to myself today and said I have to call the doctor and make her 18 month appointment for next month.
Next thing I know she is running around saying doctor!

Some of the other words she likes to say. Loves to say Dora, shoes, big toe, peek a boo, snake, fish, duck, turtle, sticky, and nose. When she says nose she tends to stick her finger up her nose so we are working on that one! I am just in shock at how quickly she is catching on to these words and how she knows the meanings of the words. Maybe it is normal for 16 months, but you know I am going to say that it is because she is smart!

We are back!

It has been a long time since we have blogged! A long story short is that I tried to change my layout and ended up losing all of my information. I was so discouraged I decided that we would no longer have a blog! After hours and hours of inservice in technology I have decided that we better get our blog back up and running. So stay tuned and our page will continue to grow as I find time in the evenings and on weekends to keep up my page! I am back to work for the school year, my secyond year for that matter and I am excited to have my first year out of the way. Take care of you!
