Miss Daelynn's Drama

I'm Walkin' on Sunshine!

2009-09-24T19:09:00.000-07:00

Hello all!!! Yeah, I know it's been over a month (almost two) since I've posted anything on here. In that time, I've been on vacation to Branson, started saying words, and even been through TWO different daycares! Mommy started school again last month so I don't have much time to get on here to write (she's SUCH a computer hog).

Take a look at what I've been up to over the past couple of days!!

Just Call Me Dr. Daelynn Doolittle

2009-08-01T18:39:00.000-07:00

I have the coolest Daddy ever! He surprised Mommy and me this morning and took us to The Farmstead. Oh my gosh, I had so much fun!!! Who would've guessed that this place was only a couple of miles from our house!

When we first got there, Mommy made Daddy stop and get his picture taken with me.
And then, we barely got through the door and Mommy made us take MORE pictures!!!

I really like this picture... except the guy's butt is in the way!!! I guess either way, it makes a fant-ass-tic picture! (Don't tell Mommy I said that!)
Here I am looking at the chickens. Daddy and Mommy sing Old McDonald Had a Farm to me all the time, so I knew chickens said "cluck cluck".
They had these really cool butterflies that you could stick your head through. I really didn't want to do it...
But Mommy made me!
Then we went to the goat exhibit.
They had these little goats that Mommy called "toddler goats". You could feed them some food, but we didn't have any quarters. Thank goodness because they were scary! I don't want those things eating out of MY hands!
Here are some geese that say "Honk, Honk!" I kind of liked looking at them.
They even had a pond that you could go fishing in! I can't wait until I'm a little bit older and have better use of my thumbs so I can go fishing!
At the Farmstead, they had a lot of really cool buildings that you could go through. Here's me with Daddy sitting on the front porch of Mommy's favorite house.
They had a little kids cabin, too! Who comes up with this stuff?
Mommy said this is a conastoga wagon. Daddy says, "Are you sure, I've never heard that word before." And Mommy said, "Haven't you ever played Oregon Trail?" Hahaha (what does Oregon Trail mean?)
The Farmstead was soooo cool. They had a lot of little pathways that you could take and walk, and it was all covered by trees. I can't wait to go back there!
We had such a great time today, but I sure was pooped after our long day at the farmstead. I fell asleep in the car on the way home!

One of Many Photo Shoots

2009-07-31T18:43:00.000-07:00

When we were going to pick up Daddy the other night in Lee's Summit, Mommy called the radio station to win Miley Cyrus tickets... and she was caller 16!! Well, she said she didn't really like Miley Cyrus so they gave her a new t.v. instead!!! Here I am crawling all over it.

Today, Mommy got me all dressed up and took me outside for (another) photo shoot. I was pretty ticked off at first- I hadn't even had a bottle yet!

But then, the garbage truck came around and I loved staring at it.

Mommy gave me yogurt and a waffle for lunch. It was really, really funny when I spilled it all over the floor... but Mommy didn't laugh.

Look at what I can do now! I'm pretty much an expert at feeding myself now!

And look what I did when Mommy wasn't looking!!

Daddy's Home!

2009-07-29T20:59:00.000-07:00

For the past week, Mommy and Daddy have let me cry myself to sleep, because the pediatrician told them that was what was best for me. Who is she kidding?! It was pretty much the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me.

So anyways, Daddy left on Sunday night for Chicago and wouldn't you know- I slept ALL night in my crib. I'm talking 12 hours here! I decided it would be fun to do that again, so I did it on Monday and Tuesday night too! Mommy and I tried to go to a movie together again on Tuesday afternoon, but Mommy decided to leave because I kept talking. Then we came home and took a nap :)

It is so good to have Daddy back home, but it sounds like he sure had a good time. He got to go to Wrigley Field and watch the Cubs play baseball. They lost, but he still had fun!
He also got to eat at all kinds of weird places, as you can see!
Overall, me and Mommy had an okay week- but it's so much better to have Daddy home! On the way to pick up Daddy from Lee's Summit, Mommy was listening to the radio and won a t.v.! I wanted it in MY room, but they decided to put it in their bedroom instead. Shucks!
P.S. What does my mother dress me in? Oh Brother!

Mommy's Crazy Addiction

2009-07-21T14:21:00.001-07:00

Okay, so here's the story. My mommy has this addiction with 1) Taking my picture and 2) Getting my picture professionally taken. I've had my picture professionally taken when I've been 1 Day Old, 1 Week, 1 Month, 2 Months, 3 Months, 4 Months, 5 Months, 6 Months, and, now, 9 Months. That's a whole lotta picture taking. I'm pretty much used to it though. In fact, my Mommy even says you could even use the term "photogenic" to describe me.

Well, here's my latest photo session (taken today). These are me and Mommy's favorites... we had 134 to choose from!!! Talk about a tough day's work!
**Mommy note: While the lady was taking the picture below (with her arms in the air), she was really getting into it! Right before she took this one, the photographer literally said, "Okay girl, strike a pose!" And Daelynn lifted her arms in the air- it looks like she's practicing to be a ballerina!!!**
This one is Mommy's favorite!
I bet after looking at these, you're wishing "They all could be California Girls" like me!!!

FINALLY!

2009-07-20T19:50:00.001-07:00

You can probably guess that I've been pretty darn busy the past couple of weeks- that's why I haven't updated my blog!

We had a great 4th of July weekend! I was entered in a baby contest back in Clay Center, but it got rained out. Grandma Sandy made my headband- isn't it soo cute?
We went swimming two times that weekend! My cousin, Wyatt, and I had such a fun time. He even jumped into the pool- he's such a big boy! My boyfriend, Hayden, came swimming with us also. Here I am trying to play with him. Mommy keeps telling me that I need to play a little hard to get!
I love to swim with my Daddy. He is a very good swimmer. He even puts me under the water. I don't mind it too much except it takes me a couple of seconds to catch my bearings. Can you tell that I'm my father's daughter in this picture?
Here's another picture of me swimming with Daddy. His whiskers tickle me!
On 4th of July, we went out to my Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma's house to shoot fireworks. They live out in the country, so me and Daddy just sat and watched the sun go down.
When the fireworks started going off, I DID NOT LIKE THEM? How can people watch them for fun?? They are so loud... in fact, I would go so far to say they are down right annoying!
I made Grandma take me inside while they were going off. Thank heavens for grandmas!
The next day, Grandpa and I had a great time playing on the Merry-Go-Round. When we ride on it, I have to watch all the cars that pass by. Someday, I'll probably be a mechanic, because cars fascinate me!
We went and saw my Great-Great- Grandma. Can you believe I have a great great grandma? She is my dad's mom's dad's mom (if that even makes sense!). She let me play on her new walker. It is definitely the cadillac of walkers.
This past weekend, Daddy, Mommy and I went back to Clay Center again. I've been suffering from insomnia for the past couple of weeks, so Grandpa and Grandma took me back to Clay Center a day early so Mommy and Daddy could rest. Here's a picture with me and my other boyfriend, Fernando. I wanted to kiss him back, but my parents were watching... well, what would you have done?!?!
Wyatt's birthday was on Sunday. Can you believe he turned 2?! He's pretty much over the hill in my eyes. I had a great time playing with his balloons.
He even let me help him open his presents!! I'm just practicing up for my first birthday- which is only 3 months away!!!!! I have a feeling that my Mommy has already started planning it. Silly Mommy!
Even though it wasn't my birthday, my Auntie Angela gave me one of Wyatt's old toys. It is a house that I can crawl through. It has a door, a doorbell, and a light switch, which is so much fun!!
If I were to tell you how much I like this toy, I would have to say that Derek the Uncle LOVES it! He sat on the ground and played with me tonight. He kept saying that my boyfriends were sending me love letters, but I told him to RETURN TO SENDER!! :)
My Auntie Angela made the coolest cake ever for Wyatt's birthday! It is ELMO!!

She did such a great job and Wyatt had a pretty spectacular birthday! Here are more pics of him during his party!!!

Keep your eye out for my new pics tomorrow! Mommy is taking me to get my 9 month pictures tomorrow... but what will I wear?!?!

Going to Clay Center

2009-07-02T14:14:00.000-07:00

Daddy and Mommy are taking me to Clay Center tonight to see my grandpas and grandmas! I am sooo excited, because I'll get to see people OTHER than my parents! We have a very busy weekend planned... tomorrow night is the baby contest! Mommy bought me the cutest outfit and Grandma Sandy made me a very rockin' headband! My boyfriend, Hayden, is also in the contest, but he's in an older group than me. He's so big!

We're then going to watch fireworks both Friday and Saturday night. I hope that I don't get too scared... we have some neighbors that have been setting them off and I always jump!

I probably won't have time to write this weekend... I'm going to be too busy laughing, playing, and swimming! Love you!

Ladies' Day Out

2009-06-30T16:20:00.001-07:00

Oh brother... What did I do to deserve this? I woke up yesterday morning and Mommy had this hairbrain idea to go shopping at the Legends. She needed a new swimsuit, because we have been going swimming a lot lately. So, we loaded everything up and headed north. Just to give you a timeframe, we left the house around 9:30. We went to JC Penney to look for Daddy a shirt, then to Target. Mommy bought me a Barney DVD for the ride back to Clay Center this weekend. By the time we left Target, I was getting pretty darn sleepy. We drove over to the Legends, and Mommy decided it would be fun to go to a movie together. Boy was she right! We went to our first Mother-Daughter movie and saw My Sister's Keeper. Mommy said it was a good movie... but not near as good as the book. We continued to shop, and FINALLY headed home around 6:00. What a long day!

It is safe to say that I have about a billion toys. However, my FAVORITE thing to play with is a tote. I like to put stuff in it and stand up next to it!

To make things worse, Mommy got us dressed in our swim gear and me and her went swimming!! Actually, I had a very fun time with her. I went to sleep as soon as we got done swimming (around 8). Overall, we had a very fun day and did lots of girly things... something Daddy probably would have rolled his eyes at!! :)

Today was much more laid back. I woke up at 5:30 this morning, and Mommy and I watched Barney. We took pictures inside and out... close to two hundred of them. Mommy thinks she's quite the professional now with her new camera. I always tell her that good pictures start with good subjects!!

Mommy dressed me in a very cute outfit today! I wore a pair of jean capris and a red checkered tank top. Daddy said I looked like his little cowgirl! Yee-Haw!!

We made Daddy some spaghetti tonight. He said it was very good... Mommy didn't think so. I am so excited for the rest of my evening, because it is going to just be me and Daddy. Mommy has homework to do and wants to finish it before this weekend!

Mommy's New Camera

2009-06-28T18:55:00.000-07:00

And Mommy says I have too many toys! We went to Nebraska Furniture Mart yesterday, and Mommy got a new camera. She says it will be great, because her old camera was very slow at taking pictures. All I know is that I'm almost blind because of all the flashing I saw today... and I don't mean naked bottoms! Hehe.

Mommy and I went to the grocery store this morning and then chilled out at home. Have I ever told you that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Barney? Well, I do. My favorite is to just sit on Daddy's lap and watch it... I've learned alllll about caterpillars and how they turn into butterflies. This knowledge will impress everyone when we go to the Butterfly Palace in Branson!

This is a picture of my lovey. She is so soft and cuddly. Grandma Sandy gave it to me, and I'm really starting to like it!
This evening, Daddy and Mommy took me to our pool to go swimming. I LOVE TO SWIM! So much, in fact, that it's possible I'm half fish... My favorite is to splash everyone- including myself!
Mommy says this picture is her favorite! I keep telling her she's silly, because every picture of me is good. She thinks she's quite the photographer now!
After waking up at 5:30 this morning and having a long day of shopping and swimming, I'm pooped! I better to go bed and rest my eyes... literally. I'm sure Mommy will take a million more pictures of me tomorrow!

No, No Daelynn!

2009-06-26T10:12:00.000-07:00

I had such a great time with Grandpa and Grandma while they were here! They had to go back to Clay Center today to work this weekend :( Grandpa thought it was sooo funny to put his glasses on my face. Don't I look like a little professor?

While they were here, Grandpa and Grandma taught me how to be sooo big. I practiced on walking, but am not quite ready to go on my own yet. It feels so much safer on all fours... just like my best friends Pele, Pete, and Jake!
Mommy put this really stretchy bow on my head. She said that when I was younger it was too big, but now it fits just right!!! I love getting my picture taken, and know just how to pose for the camera!

Yesterday, Grandma and Mommy started teaching me to say, "No". Well, I can't say it yet, but I sure can mimic Mommy!

How Big Am I? Soooooo Big!

2009-06-24T10:20:00.000-07:00

Today is the best day of my life... so far anyway. I turned 8 months old today. Can you believe that?? It seems like just yesterday I was kicking Mommy and giving her indigestion.

Here I am, contemplating life.
Grandpa and Grandma came to my house to see me, and we have played ALL day long! Grandpa hangs me upside down, which makes me giggle and giggle. THEN Grandma sits on the floor with me and lets me follow her around. We went grocery shopping around the living room with my shopping cart, and I even sang them a song. I wish they could visit everyday!

So I informed Mommy this morning that I am no longer her chubby little baby, so she better take pictures of my rolls while I still have them!

Mommy and Daddy say that climbing on the stairs is a bad habit, but I think it's kinda fun. They keep telling me that they're gonna buy a baby gate- whatever that means! I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm pretty much the biggest girl in the world now. In fact, let me show you exactly how big I really am!

Day With Mommy

2009-06-22T17:08:00.000-07:00

Today was a pretty boring day. I decided to take THREE naps... which is unheard of. I'm usually a two nap-a-day chica. I think I'm so tired, because I'm working on my 7th and 8th teeth right now. #7 has popped through, but I'm waiting on pesky ol' #8. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today, EXCEPT I ate meat for the first time... chicken to be exact. Daddy and Mommy kept telling me I wasn't going to like it 'cuz they read it in some parenting book- but boy were they wrong. I lapped it right up AND finished my green beans and pears. I guess you could say I was a hungry girl.

Here's a picture of us from our weekend trip to the plaza. I kept telling the paparazzi, "No pictures, please" but they couldn't resist!

Too Busy to Write

2009-06-21T12:06:00.001-07:00

Whew... I am wore out! Let me tell you about the past week or so... I've been sooo busy that I haven't had a free minute to sit down and tell you what's been happening in my life. As I told ya last time, Mommy and I surprised my Grandpas and Grandmas back in Clay Center. My allergies were really bothering me, so Grandpa took me on the tractor. At first I wasn't too sure about it- but everytime Grandma would try to take me off, I didn't want to leave.

I've always been kinda a 8 or 8:30 kinda girl for bedtime. During my stay in Clay Center, I went to bed around 10 each night! I was very tired!

On Friday, Grandma, Auntie Danae, Mommy and I went to Topeka to see my cousin Addie from Texas. We had a great time playing with La-La (my cousin Tori) and my Aunt Deanna.

We even bounced on their trampoline. My Auntie Angela gave me this toy- it is like a music soundstage and I can practice my singing skills and dance moves in the mirror.

The next day, I went to the zoo for the very first time. I didn't really know what to think... the only animals I've seen up close before were my dogs Pele, Pete, and Jake.

Here I am with the 'rents. I'm not really too sure of what to think of Pa and Ma. They're alright at keeping me fed and my diaper clean... but they're kinda weird!! Thank goodness for Derek the Uncle and Aunt Chelsea- they keep me sane!

Auntie Angela and Wyatt met us at the zoo- I had such a great time with him! He shows me how to do everything- I can't wait to be as big as him!

Here's me swinging on the swing at the zoo park. I pretty much love to swing- so much in fact that Dad hung a swing from our ceiling in the basement so I could swing ANYTIME I want. Wasn't that nice??

Okay so here's what I've been up to since Friday... Mom and I had this silly idea in our head that it would be fun to surprise Daddy for Father's Day and take him on a mini-vacation! SOOO, Mommy made hotel reservations here in Kansas City for Friday and Saturday night. On Friday morning, Mommy packed everything up while Daddy was at work and then we went and put everything in our hotel room. When Daddy got off work, we told him we had a surprise for him, and we blindfolded him!

He had no idea what we had planned! It worked out perfectly! On Saturday, I went swimming for the first time!!!

The water was pretty cold, but I'm tough. After a little while, I even started to LIKE the water and splashed a little. I can't wait until the 4th of July when I get to go swimming again in Clay Center!

Mommy and I did not want to get out of the water... but Daddy said it was time. It probably was- we had been swimming for about 30 minutes! P.S. My bikini sure is cute, huh?

We had a great time on our first family vacation and Daddy says his first Father's Day has been perfect. I probably better get to playing with all of my toys... but don't worry, I'll still stay ornery as ever!!!

Peace out!

Sneaky, Sneaky

2009-06-10T21:23:00.000-07:00

Mommy and I are sooo sneaky! I woke this morning at 7:30 to find my bags all packed and a bottle of milk waiting for me. I never get to have a bottle of milk right in the morning so I knew something was suspicious. Also, Mommy was showered and smelled good- which NEVER happens until the afternoon! Well, you can imagine my surprise when Mommy loaded me in the car and we went and said good bye to Daddy at work. We were on our way to Clay Center to see my grandpas and grandmas.

We got to Clay Center a little bit after noon. We went to Grandpa and Grandma Rothfuss' house first. We quietly got out of the car and walked into their house. Grandma was on the phone with Daddy and when she saw me, she ran across the room and said "Oh my gosh, your wife is here with your daughter!" Our surprise worked!!!

Grandma bought me the cutest hat!

After our afternoon nap, Mommy and I went up to Grandpa and Grandma Mac's house. There was this weird looking creature that was very hairy and she panted a lot. Mommy said it was a doggy named Letty. I was very scared of Letty at first...

Grandpa said he would protect me from Letty, so I stayed on his lap for a little while during supper. Can you believe they ate pizza right in front of me and didn't offer me a bite... HOW RUDE!

But the longer I was there, the more I liked her. By the end of the night, I was crawling EVERYWHERE chasing after Miss Letty.

Then, Grandma pulled out one of Wyatt's toys. It was a rocking horse that made noises. I stood on it all by myself and rocked back and forth! I really, really like the horse (so much that I asked for one for my birthday!).

I played with Wyatt for quite a while. He has this really cool play mat that you step on and it makes music. We played on that for quite a while, and he showed me how to dance!

We have had a great time thus far in Clay Center, and we still have 3 days left here! I can't wait to let you know what we do today!

Game Night with my Boys

2009-06-09T19:55:00.000-07:00

Mommy and I had a great day today! We spent the day as we usually do: eating, napping, and playing. I kept trying to pull myself up on the side of my bouncer all day long but with no success. Daddy got home from work around 5:30 and we played while Mommy made BBQ meatballs for supper.

Daddy even fed me my supper... green beans and summertime peaches. Then we had a heart to heart talk about life and how the Royals are really in a slum right now.
After dinner, I decided there was no time like the present to work on my swinging skills.
Going, going, gone! Home run! Mommy helped me work on my swing and told me to open my stance and choke up on the bat. That was me knocking that ball out of the park (aka living room). You are NEVER going to believe what Daddy and Derek the Uncle did... they saw me playing ball and then they had to play...
Only they played baseball on the Playstation. I kept trying to get a hold of the controller, but Mommy and Daddy kept saying "No" again. I'm still not so sure what that means.

Daddy rocked me and put me to bed tonight. I was pretty content at first, but then I decided to start wailing. I cried and cried and then I cried some more. Did I mention that I cried? Finally, Daddy couldn't take it anymore so he sent Mommy upstairs with a little bit more milk. You know what she saw?...

I was standing up in my crib! I almost knocked Mommy's socks off. She left me there crying long enough to get her camera and take these pictures. How mean, huh?

A New Trick (or Two) Up My Sleeve

2009-06-08T19:04:00.001-07:00

My day started pretty average. I woke Mommy and Daddy up at 7 and I ate some rice cereal. Then Mommy and I went to the bank and grocery shopping... pretty normal for a Monday morning. For lunch, Mommy fed me some sweet potatoes and corn- I have just one word... NASTY- and that's all I'm gonna say about that!

I spent the rest of my Monday napping and crawling around everywhere. There is this really awesome long, white cord that plugs into our fan. I keep trying to play with it, but anytime I get close Mommy says "No". I'll have to google what that means after the parents go to bed.

I ate supper with Daddy, Mommy, Derek the Uncle, and Aunt Chels then decided I was sleepy... or not! You will never believe what I did. Here's the play-by-play:

I started with what I do best... I filled my unders... Still pretty average, right?

Well then, before Mommy could change my diaper, I surprised ol' Ma and Pa with something else...

I stood up ALL BY MYSELF!!!! Mommy screamed so loud that Aunt Chels was wondering what happend!!! Pete even came over to congratulate me!

If that's not enough, look at what I did next:

Yup, that was me cruising along my play table. What more can I say? It's just a day in the life of Daelynn Dawn!!!

Oopsie... I Poopsied!!

2009-06-07T11:58:00.000-07:00

We have had such a busy day today. Mommy starts school again tomorrow so we have been busy getting the house all cleaned up and organized. This morning, Mommy and Daddy put me in my pack-n-play to see if I would like being in there...

As you can see from the video, I absolutely LOVED playing in my playpen! In fact, I loved it soooo much that I, well, you can see the effect it had on me from the pictures below:

He he he... I pooped EVERYWHERE!!! I guess you could say I had a fun "filled" time! Daddy and Mommy just stared at me in amazement for a good minute or two... I think they were trying to figure out how to get me and the pack-n-play clean. Finally, Daddy took over duty cleaning the playpen and Mommy took me up to the bath...

After my SECOND bath of the day, I was not a happy camper. I needed some milk and a nap... which is just what I got!

Being a baby sure is tough stuff!!

My Drama Filled Life

2009-06-06T19:36:00.000-07:00

As I was just lying awake in bed crying, I realized I forgot to catch everyone up to date about all of my adventures thus far. Here's an abbreviated version of the past 7 1/2 months...
This lady here is my Mommy. You can't see me yet, but I'm there in her tummy. This picture was taken the night before I was born. We went to the hospital (Saint Luke's South in Overland Park, Kansas) on Thursday, October 23, 2008 at 8 pm to get induced, because the doctor was afraid I was too large.
Here's my Daddy the night before I was born. He was so nice to me and Mommy while I was in her tummy. He would tell me goodnight EVERY night before bed and good morning each morning. He made sure Mommy rested (and even put up with her aversion for Mexican food!). Little does Daddy know here, but I sure will look a lot like him!!
Well, this is me, just a few minutes after I was born. I weighed 8 lbs 12 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. I was born at 6:18 pm on Friday, October 24, 2008. I had a little bit of fluid in my lungs so Daddy and Mommy were very worried about me. My apgar scores were 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. I stayed in the nursery, because my breathing wasn't as good as the nurses wanted it to be. Don't get me wrong... I still woke Daddy and Mommy up every 2 hours that first night!! :)
This is us. The Rothfuss Family. I guess I should tell you what Mommy and Daddy decided to name me. My first name is Daelynn... and here's why. Daddy, Grandpa Mike, and Great-Grandpa Kenny's middle names are all Dale. Mommy and Daddy knew they wanted Dale to be in my name somewhere- but they didn't know how. Mommy made up my name (but she felt better when she finally found it in a baby book!). It is spelled the way it is, because Mommy's first and middle name make up the first four letters of my name... DAnielle ELizabeth. Also, Grandma Sandy's middle name is Rae and Grandma Paula's middle name is Pauline. This name fits me perfectly and represents everyone I love! My middle name is Dawn after my Grandpa Don and Great-Grandpa Don.
This is me with Grandpa Don. You can't tell from this picture, but I have his beautiful blue eyes. He is the only one on both sides of the family that has blue eyes, and mine are the EXACT same shade as his!
This picture is of my first bath. I still remember it like it was yesterday! I definitely did not like my first bath. Daddy was much better than Mommy at doing this so Mommy decided to take the pictures while Daddy gave the bath!

Mommy's Little Glo-worm. That's what she called me. I had to have phototherapy when I was just 3 days old, because my bilirubin was up to 11. I had also lost weight and was down to only 7 lbs and a few ounces, so I had to be supplemented with formula. Boy howdy I LOVED my formula! After just one day of phototherapy, my bilirubin was almost back to normal so I didn't have to use the lights anymore.
While I was sick, Grandma Paula stayed with us to make sure we were all doing okay. She helped Mommy so much by watching me so Mommy and Daddy could get some sleep. She rocked me to sleep and even helped with my first bath!
Here I am with Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Mike! I just love playing with them- they both make me laugh EVERYTIME I see them. Grandma Sandy stayed with me for about 6 months while Daddy was working and Mommy finished school. We had such a great time together... I sure do miss them lots!
Happy Halloween!! I was a ladybug for my first Halloween. Mommy searched and searched for costume and finally found this one at Target. Mommy is already asking me and Daddy about what I should be for Halloween this year. We keep telling her she's crazy and that it's only June!
Here I am with my Auntie Angela and cousin Wyatt! I love him soooo much- he always gives me lots of kisses and makes sure I am having fun. He came and saw me in the hospital and even held me!! He used to call me Baby, but now he knows how to say Daelynn. What a smartie!
Here is our 5 generation photograph! In this picture is me, my Daddy, Grandma Sandy, Great-Grandpa Don, and Great-Great Grandma Agnes. This was taken when I was just over a month old.
Oh Derek the Uncle- you are soo silly! We are best buds. He teaches me all sorts of things that Mommy and Daddy probably shouldn't know about! Here he is with a bow on his head before church on Christmas Eve!!!
HoHoHo Merry Christmas! This is my first photo with Santa. I was such a big girl... I didn't even cry. I was soo confused, because all these big kids around me were crying their eyes out. It wasn't so bad- I just told him what I wanted for Christmas and we got our picture taken. Mommy and Daddy had to wait in line for over an hour to get my picture taken with him... that's what they get for waiting until December 23 to take me to see Santa!
Here I am after my Baptism into the Catholic faith. I was a little over 3 months old when I got baptized in Lenexa, Kansas, at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church. My godfather is Derek the Uncle and my godmother is Auntie Angela.
Brush, Brush, Brush... Scrub, Scrub, Scrub! Mommy is brushing my bottom two teeth for the first time! I got my first two teeth when I was one week shy of being 3 months old! I guess this is kinda early for babies- I keep telling everyone to get used to it 'cuz I'm advanced!
Oh Brother! What are you feeding me now??!! I'll have to admit- I was not a fan of vegetables to begin with. I was started out on squash which, I must say, is the nastiest stuff I have EVER eaten. Now I am eating veggies, fruits, puffs, yogurt melts, grapes, bananas... I guess you could say I'm no longer an amateur eater! Note: I still do not like squash! :)This is the first time I went outside this spring! Me and Mommy sat outside for about 20 minutes and talked. I LOVE being outside!
Happy Easter!! I got to go on my first Easter Egg Hunt downtown in Clay Center. I even saw the Easter Bunny!!! He left me a basket with toys and fruit in it! I'm really not sure why Daddy and Mommy ALWAYS give me kisses... I guess it's because my cheeks are so squishy!
I wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny... okay the rest of the song doesn't really apply except that it's my FIRST BIKINI! Summer here I come! In the new place we live in, we have a baby swimming pool. I can't wait to sit and splash in it!
This is my first big girl bath in our new house! I LOVE sitting in the water, but I'm still a little scared to splash too much. This is me with my bathtub mirror. I love looking at the little baby in the mirror- but she is ALWAYS doing the same thing as me!!
Mommy has this crazy obsession with getting my picture taken every month. Here I am at 6 months with my angel wings. This month I could finally sit up all on my own!
Here I am with Auntie Danae! She likes to tango with me. She is soooo much fun and love when she comes to visit me. Before she knows it, I will be begging her to teach me all kinds of dance moves!!!
My first trip to Chuck E. Cheese! I absolutely love that mouse- I couldn't keep my eyes off him. We went there just a couple of weeks ago and I can't wait to go back. Hopefully I'll be big enough to ride on some of the fun toys that my cousin, Wyatt, was riding on!
Man, if I could whistle right now I would! This is my boyfriend, Hayden! He lives in Clay Center with his parents, Kris and Amber. He came to visit me a couple of weekends ago, and we had such a great time! Don't tell Mommy and Daddy, but we even kissed!! Aren't we sooo cute?
Well... that was me in a nutshell. I've had a pretty busy 7 1/2 months thus far- wouldn't you say? I know I might complain, but I really do love my life and everyone in it. So, until next time, adios!!!

Lazy Saturday!

We've been pretty darn lazy in the Rothfuss household today. I decided to wake up at 6 am... Mom and Dad didn't think it was so funny. Once we decided to get out of our p.j.'s (around noon), I went with Dad, Mom, Derek the Uncle and Aunt Chels to Chipotle to eat lunch. Holy buckets- that place was a mad house! I DID NOT like it there. So after I voiced my opinion, we left and went home. The rest of the afternoon was spent sleeping.

This evening, we all barbequed hamburgers and hot dogs! We had a great time and the food was great. I even got to eat a little bit of Mom's hot dog bun. I stayed up until 9 tonight... wow it was a long day!

Here I am helping Mom with laundry the other day. Everytime Mom would put my clothes into a nice and neat pile, I would pull them over. Mom kept saying "Oh Brother!". I had such a great time doing laundry with Mom (and I didn't realize how many cute clothes I have!).

Wow, I sure am pooped after a long afternoon of laundry and running errands!!!

Yes, I am Now Officially a Crawling Baby!

Hey there! So I guess I'm gonna have to catch ya'll up to date. My name is Daelynn Dawn Rothfuss. I'm about 7 1/2 months old... I was born October 24, 2008. I decided to write on this blog so that everyone could see exactly what I have to put up with on a daily basis. My daddy (you probably know him as Dustin) is my favorite person in the whole world. He sings the K-State fight song to me to help me sleep and I just LOVE it. He works for an electrical sales company. My mommy (also known by many as Danielle) stays home with me right now, because she is taking classes online. She is sometimes really crazy and I laugh at her a lot (don't tell her but, yes, I am laughing AT her not WITH her!).
