mama!!!!

Yesterday, a little after 1pm MST, Delanah said "Mama" for the first time! I was in the kitchen getting our water ready and she was in the living room. It wasn't mamamamama...no, it was most definitely "mama" Woo-hoo!!!! I have been waiting for this for so long! We know she knows who I am , but hearing it from her mouth, it is the best feeling in the world! She said "Dada" first, well, technically, I think "Ba" is her first word, that's what she calls Bailey :)

Let's see...an update on Delanah...she is cutting 3 teeth, to left uppers and the middle right. I think they will show themselves in the next 48 hours. Poor thing has been in some pain, but we are using apples and pears and teethers to soothe her little gums. I've been bitten a few times, but nothing major, so I consider myself incredibly lucky :) No crawling, we still have a super crawler! She gets into the crawl position but goes backwards...and looks so incredibly confused by it! She loves standing, but doesn't seem interested in walking. We found out last week that Dave didn't crawl until about 11 months and didn't walk until 15 months. Looks like she's following in Daddy's footsteps!

This Monday is our 7th Anniversary. Wow....7 years....somedays it seems like just yesterday that we were newlyweds, and look where we are now. Next spring it will have been 10 years since we met, that's just incredible to me, I have known Dave 1/3 of my life...wow. G-ma and G-pa are coming up tomorrow to watch Delanah so Dave and I can head out and have an anniversary dinner together. Our second dinner alone since she was born almost year ago...we really need to get out more.
