On Christmas morning we got up about 7:00 because Delphia wanted to eat. Luckily she didn't get up at 4 or Shane would have insisted that she wanted to open presents. I volunteered Shane to help her open her gifts since he was the one who insisted that we wrap them even though she is only 4 months old. 
This is Delphia and her Learning Baby Tad. We saw it at Costco and just had to get it for her. It has a nighttime mode that sings song, it sings the alphabet, songs about hands and feet and other various songs.
This is her Laugh & Learn Piggy Bank. Most of the toys we got her are for 6+ months to 36 months so she will be able to enjoy them for a long time. It will be fun to see her grow and enjoy her toys in new ways as she gets older. The piggy bank sings fun songs and teaches colors, numbers, animals, sizes and counting.
These are little balls that have texture on all the different sides.
This is her and Daddy before the present opening started, She kind of blends in with Daddy's pajamas.
This is my favorite gift that we bought her for Christmas. It's a LeapTouch LeapPad and my first E-bay purchase. It was a really great deal and in awesome condition. She also got a stacker and pop beads from Shane and I. Grandma Cook bought her (at my request) a set of 26 books from Costco that are Sesame Street A-Z. Each letter is a separate book and they link together to form a puzzle. The books are really cute and she absolutely loves them! Grandma Freeman bought her a rattle, some keys, a bib, an outfit, the Little People Noah's Ark and a pulling caterpiller that hold balls. Aunt Amanda got her a cute little outfit that I can't wait to put on her. She also got a rattle from Great Grandma Schow that is exactly like her favorite rattle. Now we have two which will be a huge blessing should we ever lose one.
Christmas jammies!
Shane and I were very spoiled for Christmas. We made an agreement that we weren't getting each other anything and then on Christmas Eve AI was telling Shane my mom put all her presents out and he asked if she put out the ones from Santa to me. That boy! He ended up getting me the Rubbermaid Premier from Costco. Best tupperware ever and a set of 3 glass bowls which I really needed since I only had 1 glass bowl. My parents got me a cheese grater, a planer, $30 gift certificate to Pine Needles and they got Shane a hose, hedge trimmers and we got 2 72 hours kits and a first aid kit. My mom also gave us a calendar we made of all the grandkids. Shanes parents got us a food storage bucket and a first aid kit.
This was the divinty disaster on Christmas Eve! My mom was making divinty and we were getting ready to spoon it out and she was getting the divinty off the mixer beaters. Well, she thought she was turning it off and lifted the beaters out of the KitchenAid and next thing I know white divinity is flying all over the kitchen. What a mess she had to clean up!
We gave Delphia her first cereal on December 23rd since she was 4 months on the 22nd and she has been really hungry. She really likes it and I feed her cereal every day in the morning usually. It is so much fun watching her move her tongue around and figure out how to swallow. What a mess she makes although it is getting better! The directions said to use 1 Tbs cereal and 4-5 Tbs of water the first time and it was extremely runny! Now I just add water till it is the right consistency.
This is the story of the rainbow goggles. I put these of Delphia one day and she just left them on and talked and giggled. One day we were at my mom's and I was showing her and her cousin Ruby also thought it was the coolest thing and kept taking them off Delphia's face and holding them to her face. She loved the idea! We finally pulled her sunglasses out of her diaper bag and had to take pictures of the 2 of them together. Ruby is so cute with the little nieces and just loves to give them attention and she loves to hold them.
These are just pictures to show how much she is growing! Shane and I absolutely love this little girl. She is full of spunk and it is so much fun watching her personality develop and finding new things that she loves. She loves to be sat up (it makes her feel like a big person). Grandma was holding her up in the picture. One of her favorite pasttimes is sitting on Grandma Cooks bed and watching the Disney Channel in the morning while she is doing her make-up.
On the MD appointment front we met with the neurologist and reviewed my MRI results and he says that it looks like MS but to be sure he wanted a spinal tap and labs. We set up the appointment for this last Friday and my mom watched Delphia. We went up to the hospital and had my bloodwork done first and I was amazed at what a great job the guy did! My blood is very stubborn and my veins tend to hide. The guy got the 5 tubes of blood he needed in the first stick which made me a very happy girl! Then it was over for the spinal tap which I was very nervous about, especially after they told me that Shane couldn't be in the room with me. I was brave though, what other choice did I have? It didn't hurt at all and they even gave me a sucker for being such a good patient (actually I couldn't stop coughing and the sucker helped a lot.) After they were done they wheeled me out into the hallway to lay around for an hour. Shane had just sat down in front of me when who rounds the corner but the lab tech telling me they have to draw more blood because they missed one of the labs. He poked the other hand and got all the blood he needed and I then politely told him that I didn't want to ever see him again! Shane sat back down and shared his Tootsie Rolls with me while we waited and then we went home while I spent the rest of the day in bed! Boring! I have my follow-up appointment on January 14th the same day as Delphias pediatrician appointment.
