The Dellinger's

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

Jason was in complete shock when Lainey was born because he just couldn't believe we had a girl. He has finally come out of the shock, and is sooo in love with his little girl! (Not that he wasn't in love from the very start, he was just very surprised!) Jason was also able to give Lainey a bottle about a week ago for the first time, and he thought that was the most amazing thing. How sweet!

Last Midwife Appt.

We had our last appointment with our midwife, Laura Luckett, so there are new stats for Lainey Jane. At 5 weeks, 5 days Lainey weighed 10 lbs 9.5 oz, was 23.25 inches long, and her head was 14.5 inches. So needless to say our little one is becoming more of a big one! Lainey decided to show off while at the appt. and was pushing herself up to standing and Laura was quite impressed. Laura said that Lainey is exceptionally strong, because she doesn't see many babies her age standing like she was.

Lainey with Laura, two beautiful ladies!

As we were going into our midwife appt, Sara was coming out. Sara and her boyfriend Chris were in our Bradley classes with us, so we got to see their adorable little girl Violet. Violet and Lainey weighed exactly the same amount, but Violet is a week older.

The Hot Day

We don't have too many hot days here in Woodland Park, but we did have one. We got the little one mostly naked and let her hang out...check out that big milk belly!

Our Mornings

I have learned that if I don't get ready right away in the morning I will have gone through most of the day without brushing my hair or teeth. So in the morning I set Lainey on the bed and she just hangs out waiting for me to play with her. She looks so darn cute sitting or laying on the bed all by herself I had to attach some pics.

Video of Lainey

Here is a little video of Lainey. She is 6 weeks old in the video.

Cubs vs. Rockies

The Dellinger family attended their first baseball game. We went to the game with some of our college friends. It was ridiculously hot (of course our seats were in the blaring sun), so needless to say we spent most of the game by the concessions where there was a breeze and some shade. Then to top it off, the Cubs lost, bummer!

Lindsay and Caia roasting in the sun...they even look cute in the sweltering heat!

After the game we went over to Lindsay's apt. and hung out until we all decided we were starving and went out for dinner. Of course Lainey was fussy the entire time we were at Lindsay's!

Lindsay and Caia have a good laugh over the faces Lainey makes.

Our first family photo since Lainey's birth day!

Lainey's Crazy Face

Lainey Getting Blown On

Sorry the video is so long, I don't know how to edit videos yet. I will figure it out and you will get shorter clips of Lainey doing her daily activities!

Oyster Ridge Music Festival

My mom, Lainey and I travelled to Kemmerer, Wy for the Oyster Ridge Music Festival, also known as Oyster Grass. We heard great music and had a wonderful time hanging out together! The weather was nice, a little hot on Saturday, but we survived. Lainey also survived her first camping experience, she did very well. Lainey was also a good traveler to and from Kemmerer. Lainey now also has her first CD, which we play every evening for her...she is now a music lover!
