A Leap Kind of Christmas

Well, no one can say that Delyah hasn't had ample opportunity to learn her alphebet! That kid has more leap toys than she'll know what to do with! It all started with my mom and I shopping one day with her. We went down the toy isle and handed her different toys to see what she likes and doesn't like. Neither one of us had any idea what to get her for Christmas, or what kind of stuff she might be into. When we got to this smaller stuffed animal leap frog we found the jackpot!

My mom handed it to her, she squeezed the belly, and it started to sing the alphebet to her. She listened to it 4 times before we went to put it back on the shelf and hand her something else. That's when all hell broke loose! Nothing would sate her thirst for leap! She ended up conning Nana into it and it's been a hit ever since. Even caused a baby brawl on Thanksgiving with her cousins, and has since been banned from daycare for the same reasons!

So, running with the idea and success for leap, that's exactly what I look into when I do my own shopping for D. I find a bigger version, with all kinds of different songs when squeezing his feet, hands, and belly. Sure to be a hit. Then dada goes shopping last night and comes home with yet another leap figure, a catapillar whose legs are letters of the alphabet, but it does phonics and colors, too.

It's a BOY!!!

Time to settle into the blues, it's a boy! We get our perfect little family, 1 girl, 1 boy! I'm excited Andy will have a little man around the house. After surviving this pergnancy I know he needs a dash of testosterone around the house! However wee the form may come in.
I'm happy we have decided not to name him Robert Kennedy. Luckily, the only name we both liked for Robert was Bobby, and, well, Bobby Brown just doesn't work so well! No other names in the works yet, except for Aiden Richard. It got a maybe from the finicky husband, so we'll see what else gets thrown out there between now and April 25th-ish.
The ultrasound went well. Everything measured right on target at 21 weeks except the babys stomach, which measured 23 weeks. Even in the belly this baby boy is eating me out of house and home! hehe I'm sure he'll be a healthy one when all is said and done.

Let it be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

A day in the park

Andy and I took Delyah to the park today. I was worried about her being too little for the toys, but she is such a trooper! She climbed right up the stairs, crawled across the tunnel, and proceeded to find the tallest slide at the playgroud!
