Where oh Where has my little blog gone?!

Okay finally a moment, with relatively little obligations outside of myself...my daughter, who is now 7 and a half months old is contently playing, and my husband is still sleeping. It is a WONDERFUL morning of sunshine and happiness, and FINALLY I can sit and enjoy my time to put some thoughts and milestones down.

The holidays were nuts, truly nuts. With three families and this being Delilah's first Christmas and Hanukkah, it was more than important to see everyone! She is one spoiled girl, with more gifts and than anyone else, and out of everyone, needed them the least. But she enjoyed unwrapping, and most of all enjoy the wrapping paper...it tasted so yummy! We had an awesome time, but we were extremely busy. Delilah's teeth fully came in ( the bottom two) and she is using them well.

Cheerios and Puffs are her new favorite to eat. She likes the independance of feeding herself, including cut up squishy greenbeans, bananas, apricots, etc. It is so exciting to see her doing this. I love watching ( and introducing) these new things to her...and seeing her recognize she can do it herself...it is great! She is working on her top teeth, although I think it will be a while before we see anything. Delilah has also begun the attempt at crawling, but lets me and Daniel know very clearly that she is not too happy about it! Oh and my darling dramatic daughter ( not sure where that comes from?) has learned now to cough/choke to get attention...hahahaha...not. She does get a reaction, everytime...so it works. Her vocabulary is growing day by day, we have Mama, which is clear, and various other attempts at words, Dada, is almost there....and Papa...yay!

Getting back into a schedule has been a little tedious, as school is taking so much of my free time, and when I have free time, I choose now to sleep. I am looking forward to setting up my days again with play groups/dates, walking, library, and farmers market ( I miss my buds and their little buds too)! Now since Delilah interacts and plays so much more, I think it would be even more fun than before to play!

We are moving, again. I am hesitant to say it because then it becomes real. I am excited about the where we are moving, the prospect of packing, organizing, and making it all work, it overwhelming! We are moving into a house, I am so stoked about! It is in Walnut Country, by Turtle Creek, a nice area on the border of Concord and Walnut Creek. It is a 5 bed 2.5 bath home, HUGE!! We will have two rooms.... HUGE rooms, and will be sharing the home with another family, who have a one year old. I am so excited, because they are such dear friends, but again this could have potential down falls ( of which we are both aware of). They are however gone most of the day, so that will give me some time to have quiet....or alone time. The rent is better and the neighborhood will not have drug deals, and scray people ( yes I live in the ghetto as of current). So this will hopefully all occure in April, we are working on getting out of our lease based on some civil codes they are in violation of...so wish us prayers, luck, good thoughts!

I am going to post, I am making the commitment to myself...AT LEAST two times a week, I miss this...and you ladys who are reading this, you know who you are...PLAYDATE, ASAP!!!

Delilah has taught me a lot this last month, but mostly about love. How one can have such a pute and grateful love, amazes me. I never knew I could feel this way, and it grows more everyday right along side of her. I value my family so much!
