The master

On Tuesday of this week I gave Delanah a Snack Trap for the first time. Using this takes fine motor movement, gross motor movement and a lot of spatial skills...not only did she figure out how to use it in less than 5 minutes...she mastered it! Yes, she figured out how to dump all of the treats out! Awesome!
Tuesday was a fun day. We went to a u-pick farm with another mom and baby and had a lot of fun picking strawberries and raspberries and then eating them, still warm from the sun...YUM! I got us some peaches, a melon, and some green and purple beans too. Delanah got to eat an entire peach, whole, by herself! Man, this kid can chow! She was on a bit of a sugar high afterwards....man, I think we saw a preview of what life is going to be like when she's older and has cookies :)
Tuesday night we installed her new "big girl" car seat! Man, it's a sweet ride! This morning I went and had it inspected and they said we did a great job...yeah us! Only a few body slams on the seat, one unfortunate head knock and a lot of muscle and we got it in :) I got some questions about the seat answered as well and I am quite happy with our purchase. She's already fallen asleep in it a few times, so I'm thinking she likes it :)
Wednesday we had to take the Murano in for some service and we took a little walk and found a little outdoor play area in a mall. The kids playing there were from 3 1/2 to 5 1/2, and man oh man did Delanah want to be with them! The kids were all so good with her! She was giggling and reaching out to them and watching them. She had such a good time :) That night we met Abbey and Paul for some Italian food and our little compactor ate her entire kids meal! She's doing awesome drinking through her straw too! Not sure if this is early for kids or not, but she's been drinking from a straw since a little before 9 months old. Yeah...she's awesome :)
