On this day last year, Delaney Alina arrived in dramatic fashion. She has been delightfully dramatic and passionate ever since. She loves to be with us and never wants to be left behind. We are overjoyed to see her blossom in these next weeks and months!
Delaney learned to do peek-a-boo, and it's as cute as you can imagine! Sometimes she will blow kisses and sign "thank you" (which are basically the same motion). She can say "ah da" [all done] and sign it. She can wave bye-bye and clap on command (if she wants to!) She can say "nigh nigh" [night night]. She calls Emery "ah dah" and Everett "eh deh." She can say mama and dada. She seems to be as verbal as Emery was - repeating sounds and making her own verbalizations that seem to mimic us.
Within the last week, she has started not only standing when she didn't realize it (letting go of the couch, focused on playing with something), but also what seems to be intentionally practicing standing. She cruises on the furniture, gets herself steady, and lets go. We've seen her make it about 2-3 seconds before sitting down.
Delaney has two teeth on the bottom and the two on top are close to popping through.
This month she took her first plane flight to visit Gramma and Grandpa in Virginia. She did very well. She slept well at their house and enjoyed playing with them and some of our friends.
We are so grateful for this passionate, darling girl! Happy birthday, sweet Delaney!
