The Dellinger's: March 2010

First Picnic

This past Wednesday it was absolutely gorgeous! Lainey and I brought Jason some lunch and we had a picnic at the country club. We had a nice lunch together and Lainey loved being outside! I think Lainey and I are going to have to make this a weekly thing!

Isn't she cute in her hat!

A stick?

I am thinking I should either eat it or use it a drum stick! (She did both!)

Hanging Out with Daddy!

8 Months is Tough!

Sorry I have been so bad about updating the blog, but 8 months has been rough on all of us! Lainey got her first tooth, just after she turned 8 months...this made for a lot of scream filled nights, an unhappy baby and some worn out parents! While she was teething she also had an awful cough and runny nose, which didn't make matters any better. Then right after her tooth came in she got a fever, the doctor said it was just a virus, but poor Lainey she was just so uncomfortable! I think things are good for now, at least until another tooth begins to appear. In the happier news, Lainey is just about ready to crawl, she will get up on all fours but just doesn't know what to do and decides she would rather roll. She is feeding herself (not with a spoon) and she has been sleeping 10-12 hours a night without waking up! She will give high fives and she has long conversations with the cats. Her new favorite toys are serving spoons and metal bowls, or plastic tupperware, this can entertain her for quite some time! It has been so awesome watching her grow up and learn new things!

The latest stats on Lainey are: 27 3/4 inches long and 17 lbs 14 oz.

Feeding herself is always an adventure!

Snot bubble!
(Sorry the pictures is blurry, I was laughing so hard I couldn't keep
the camera still, man I am a mean mom!

Playing on the floor with Lainey!

Working on this whole crawling thing!

Pickles!

Lainey got her first tooth this month. The poor little one was so miserable! We had many sleepless nights until the tooth finally popped through. I friend suggested that you give her a pickle to suck on, and who would have guessed, SHE LOVED IT! It didn't totally get rid of the screaming and unhappiness, but at least now we know she likes pickles! (Sorry about the noise in the background, Jason is watching a KU game, of course!)
