Walking and Talking

This post is long overdue! However I just finally got the videos uploaded!

Delaney started taking steps on May 29th 2008. Jer and I were both lucky enough to witness those first 2 steps! Since then she has perfected those steps and added many more. Last week we decided she was officially walking and she was 10 1/2 months old! Now she can get anywhere on her two little feet! When she is excited it almost resembles a run as those two little feet go pretty fast! It is so fun to watch her get where she wants to go! She is so proud of herself too.. clapping often for herself!


Another thing Delaney has been doing a lot of is talking. Oh my this little girl can talk! Now, we might not understand everythign she says.. but she sure is trying to carry on conversations with us! We're figuring out what some of her "sounds" mean.... like "nah" usually means "no" or "I don't want that" or "stop". "mmmmmmuh" means more of yummy. If she starts panting or squeeling that usally means she wants cheese (or saw the cheese). But the best one of all is "HI"... she says hi to everyone and everything! The penguins at the zoo, the strangers in the grocery store and the flowers in the garden! It's absolutely the sweetest thing! She has lots of tones of saying Hi depending on her mood and purpose for saying it. She even whispers it sometimes! I think it is a great and very appropriate first real word!

Thanks for watching!

Oh, my goodness, these are the cutest videos! I think my favorite is the laughing Delaney in a diaper video. And I LOVE that when she starts panting or squealing, it means cheese. She's right-- cheese is pretty great.
