My cuddler

So for the past few days Delanah has become a big cuddler. I love it! She'll just lean into me for a snuggle and then be on her way again. We were in a store yesterday and she was in her favorite spot, the seat in the cart, and she kept reaching up her arms to me for hugs. I'd give a good cuddle and then she was back to people watching. What an awesome kid! I feel so blessed to have her in my life :)
Okay, so I am confused on the whole "first word" thing....you see, she will say "mum-mum-mum-mum"...but may not be specifically asking for me. Yesterday as she was leaning in for a hug once she said "mum-mum-mum-mum", but does that count? We know "ba" is for Bailey and sometimes we'll get a "da" around Dave, but nothing distinct...not that I am worried, she has her own way of communicating and I am still working on signing with her, but the poor kid is going to have dates with question marks behind them in her baby book as I am not going to be sure when exactly things happened!

Yesterday Dave met us at the JBF sale and Delanah was so happy! I just love the grin on her face and the way her whole body radiates excitement when she sees her Daddy. There is no doubt that she loves him :) We got some great things, some B-day items, Christmas items, winter coat/pants/booties/gloves, Halloween costume, Christmas outfit...so much fun! It's recycling in my own way :) Delanah and I volunteered Wed so we could hit the presale last night, and I am glad we did! There was a ton of stuff there, but man, some women (very few men there) had just heaps and heaps of clothing! I am always surprised that there is anything left the first day or even the half price sale on Sunday. It was kind of fun when we were in line...there was a woman behind us who wasn't even showing yet :) I remember those days! So excited to get out and get the first baby items! Now I am trying to keep ahead of the growth spurts! Just a little over 10 months old and she is quickly moving out of 12 month clothes! I got about 11 pairs of pajamas in 18 month size (only $2 each!) and I think Dave was having a really hard time...trying to picture his little girl getting bigger :) Can hardly wait until the spring JBF sale...who knows how big she will be then!
