Dilana the busy bee...

Dilana and Bandit

I took these with my phone.

I think she has found an early love for dogs. Today we went to grammy's house and Dilana was so excited to see Bandit. She hasn't had much exposure to dogs so she was pretty amused...

New New

She got some new outfits...

and some new hobbies...

Feeding Time

So she's got teeth now, and has learned how to clap. Every chance she gets, she's showing off her skills.

so she stands...

She has progressed from crawling to cruising. Oh boy!!

Hey there!

So we're back! I've been out of commission because i've been updating my computer. The next couple of posts will bring you up to speed from last week.

Dilana's snow adventures

So we managed to break out of the house for a couple of minutes during this past snow storm. A friend of mine lent me a snowsuit and I wanted to try it out on Dilana. It's much too big for her, but it worked for my purpose.

7 months old!!

Dilana is 7 months today! I tried to get a good shot...unsuccessfully

In order to make my life a bit more manageable, I created a schedule of no more than 2 (household) tasks per day. Tuesdays include washing Dilana's hair. I know its Thursday now, but I figured I'd go back to Tuesday today...

She loves the water by the way. (and this tub needs to go back to the Davis' :c) (This weekend I promise!)

I only got one because my camera died...

Snow = Time with Daddy

Dilana has enjoyed this snowy weather. Particularly because she has been able to enjoy her daddy all to herself.

take a look...

and a hat to match!

So a while back, I made Dilana a scarf. Ever since then, i've been trying to teach myself how to make a hat. I found a youtube video that showed me how to make a hat. I started two days ago and I finished it today. I was so excited that I was picking up on how to do it that I forgot to take a picture of the very beginning stages...oh well. This is what I have!

Good morning Dilana!

I really love mornings with her...she is so delightful in the morning!

Ain't no stopping us now...

daddy's girl

Watching her dad with the remote has spawned an intense desire for Dilana to have the remote. She would devite all of her energy to migrating over to its location and attempting to steal it. We recently gave her a remote that had stopped working (but looks exactly the same) and now she has NO interest. She plays with it for 10 seconds and then puts it down. Go figure...

boots!

Dilana got the cutest little boots from her cousins Cammie & Ryan. They are still a little big on her but I figured i'd put them on anyways!

play time

Dilana is starting to enjoy stuffed animals--specifically two Christmas present s that she received. One is a rabbit from her Aunt and Uncle Davis and the other is from her Grammey. The dog speaks spanish and sings songs and the rabbit english. I snuck in some shots during playtime...She had a blast!!

Hangin out

Although she has not yet mastered crawling, Dilana has become very very busy. In her own way, she is able to migrate all over our living room getting into this and that. I have created a new evening hangout for her. She can roll and flip and play to her hearts content---even watch tv...all within the walls of the pack and play and I can sit right beside her on the floor :c) Knock yourself out little girl.

A beautiful January Day

I went outside to get the mail today and had to stay for a minute. I was just marveling at the wonderful gift of weather that we have received in the midst of the winter. It was so pleasant out with the sunshining and a warm breeze... it ended with a hail and lightning storm but it was simply wonderful while it lasted.

...and after enjoying the weather, someone wanted to enjoy my computer!

Blogs will resume next week
