Our 4 Month Old



My perspective on parenting a baby has changed SO much since we had Hyrum.  I remember constantly being so impatient for the next phase- "When is he going to crawl, walk, and talk???"  My, my how times have changed!  I RELISH in the fact that Delia isn't mobile yet.  It makes life so much easier not to worry about choke-ables, toddler escape artists, the cupboards getting dumped out, toilet paper rolls on the floor, and everything that comes with curious toddlers.

We have ENOUGH opinions and temper tantrums and constant questions of "are we there yet?" right now.

I absolutely savor all snuggle time I have with Delia.  Yes, the house is an absolute disaster, but this girl loves to be held right now and that won't be the case in a few short months.

We're so lucky to have this little surprise in our family.  I'm so excited to get to know her as the years go by, but right now I'm so happy she's only a cuddly, soft baby









 

Delia is our most vocal child.  She loves to coo and talk (and cry).  She's also super ticklish and laughs easily (especially if Hyrum and Ivy are involved).  The only problem is we can't capture these moments on video easily.  When we turn on the camera she's so fascinated with the red light we can't distract her with anything else.  Here's our best effort though:

So sweet, Er! Love that little lady, her expressions were so precious. Bry's little "I'm sorry, so sorry" song was enjoyable too! ;-)

Oh Erin, you have such a nack for taking and editing such beautiful pictures! She is such a gorgeous baby and I love all her hair!
