Pictures.....

I have taken a bunch of new pictures of Delaney and will post them soon-after Mother's Day-that way I will not spoil the surprise!

Delaney is growing so fast. Last Thursday, the morning of our trip she smiled at Jeff for the first time. She has been smiling but mostly during her dreams, so that was very exciting.

She is trying to grow up a little too fast for my taste. She tries to crawl, a little army crawl and scoot on the bed. I am hoping this doesn't mean she is going to start crawling too early, as I enjoy holding her.

She moved into Size One diapers today. It is sad to see how big they are compared to her little newborn diapers. But she is becoming much more alert and is staying awake for most of the day which is nice that I finally get to see her awake.

She was a great little traveler. Jackie, my cousin-in-law gave me the inside scope on traveling with an infant. So I was prepared and glad that she was able to share that information with me as it was very helpful.

Delaney was asleep on the plane the entire trip, until the landing into Seattle when she fussed a little. When we arrived, we were greeted by my sister, Mary who took us to visit her Great Uncle David and Aunt Tammy at work. Then we went to visit Grandma Esther at work. When we finally made it home after lunch with Aunt Mary, Uncle Andy, and Aunt Heidi, everyone was so excited to hold her! Then Grandma Esther and Grandpa Jon were able to see her in the evening.

The next day we were off to Seattle to visit my cousin's wife Jackie and their little boy Grady, who was born in August. He is such a handsome boy! She also met her Great Aunt Karin, and her Great-Grandma Jean and Great-Grandpa Iver. The next day, she met her Great-Grandma Mary, her Great-Grandpa James, and Great Aunt Anna. So may new people to meet!

We hope to visit again after Jeff's birthday in July, so we will see. More great news to come later!
