Here it is

So here's what I was going to write on the post below.
Today is Delight’s 4 month Birthday! It’s hard to believe she’s so big already. Sam and I are still amazed by her everyday. Sam’s always saying “she’s so cool”, and I have to agree. She seems to learn something new every day. It’s like you can see her brain growing. She’s getting better everyday at reaching out and grabbing stuff. She’ll look at the toy, then look at her hands and start moving them around in the general direction of the object she wants. Today though she reached right out and grab the toy, no problem. Of course everything goes straight for her mouth and she covers it in slobber.
I feel so completely blessed to have her and so glad that God trusts be to take care of his daughter for a little while.
Well, when I wrote that it was the 1st, just took me a few days to put it online. I just haven’t had time to blog lately.
Delight has started solid foods. She loves it! She’s had rice cereal, bananas, pears and sweet potato. She likes the cereal with a little fruit in it and I don’t blame her. I’m going to try and put a video of her eating on here. She’s so cute, she opens right up.
We had a good Thanksgiving. Busy, but fun. We went to Sam’s family first. There’s always so many people we have to meet in a gym. They have a card game going at every table. I love that. They’re a game playing family and I think it makes them close. We went to my family’s later where we look through ads and made our shopping plans. Sam and I spent the night at my parent’s and Delight slept their while we went shopping in the wee hours of morning. It was crazy, but we did good and got almost everything we wanted. My favorite was a DVD/VCR player that can record tapes onto DVD. It’ll be nice to got our home movies onto discs. We made good time and D had only been up 30 min. by the time we got back.
I have great news! Sam and I have made it into the 20th century! (we’re still working on the 21st ;) We now have a garage door opener! I’m so excited about it. It’s nice to park my car in the garage, but not that much fun opening and closing the door by hand everytime. This is so nice so have a button in my car that does the work for me. It probably doesn’t sound very exciting to you, but it’s the highlight of my week!
Seems like everyone is having babies these days. I was thinking the other day about how many other babies Delight will grow up around and hopefully get to be friends with. Last year two friends from Bible study had girls and my brother had his first baby in November, a girl also. Then this year Sam’s cousin had twin girls in March, another friend from Bible study had a girl in April, and another cousin of Sam’s had a boy in September. Just last month my cousin had a boy on the 15th, a friend of mine had a girl on the 20th, and then another friend from bible study had a girl the 25th. Whew! That’s a lot of babies and a lot of girls! I don’t think D will have any trouble making friends! In February, one of Sam’s cousins, one of my cousins (having a girl), and my best friend (having a boy) are all due. Out of 12 babies mentioned, 10 of them were (or will be) their first born. It’s nice to be among other new mommies :)
