When Daddy's Away, The Baby Will Play!!


Dave has been out of town this week, so Delanie and I have been spending lots and lots of time together. And she is keeping me very busy! If I don't lose two pounds this week, I'll be surprised! As I mentioned in an earlier post, Delanie is much taller than peers at 31.5 inches. And, I learned today, this is just tall enough to grab pans on the stove. Developmentally, she is having such a hard time with her boundaries, but given her size, she is forced to learn some lessons earlier than other 1 year olds.

Maybe Delanie decided that playtime with Mommy was so much fun that she'd just skip her nap today, or maybe it wasn't that intentional (or malicious!). But, as advanced as she may be, she clearly has not developed her sense of empathy, or whe would have taken one look at my tired eyes and gone right to sleep! Instead, she decided to circle around and around the dog bowl, occasionally dipping one foot in the water. Of course, I didn't realize until she was wet up to her knee.


I thought I'd share these pics of Delanie, with her butt stuck in the dog bowl! The dog bowl has been quite a temptation for this girl, both when it is full of food and empty. We have tried to keep Delanie away from the dog bowls, to prevent any possession/jealousy issues with the dogs. So, when I turned around while making dinner to see her literally stuck in the bowl, giggling away, I had to laugh!



Daddy, your silly willy Laniebug misses you lots! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
