Almost 17 months...

Delilah is really running around now. I took her to the park yesterday and she climbed all over and ran around in the dirt. She enjoyed herself until she fell and got her hands dirty and then she stood there and cried and held her hands up waiting for someone to clean them :)

Her little bangs were in her eyes so much that I finally had to get them cut. I wanted to wait for the "first haircut" until we could really get a lock of hair, but it had to be done. She was not happy!

She is getting alot of teeth and alot of attitude nowadays. She knows what she does and doesn't want, but she can't tell me still since she just won't start talking. Well, there is stuff constantly coming out of her mouth as far as lots of screaming and babbling and wannabe talking, but she never makes the same sound twice. She makes da da and ma ma noises sometimes, but still won't look or point at me and just say it! She is really stubborn... wonder where she is getting that from? Kind of concerning that she is going to model alot of her behavior after me! She might be better off if I put her in daycare now :) All in all, we are doing really good...

Not really a baby anymore! Delilah is so smart and knows so many words now. She doesn't say many clear words (despite talking ALL day), but she knows what we are saying. She knows dog and kitty kat, bunny, egg, banana, shoe, hair, nose, teddy bear, etc. She may know about 40 total words. I can't believe how fast she is learning now. She had a pretty good tantrum tonight. I wouldn't do what she wanted because I was busy and told her to go get daddy and she threw herself on the wood floor and kicked her little feet and cried and cried. Oh, what a beautiful sight! It really is for me because I never thought I would ever even have one of these little beauties. She is the joy of my life. What a precious gift from God.
