Its fall, that means leaves are changing, and the air is getting cooler. Delaney is growing into quite the cutie too. She is 7months now and as happy as can be! She has her first two teeth and can crawl very well now. She is now trying to learn to walk and there is no stopping her. She is determined to pull herself up on anything and everything she can.



We went to the winchester farmers markert last week with grandma and grandpa to pick out a pumpkin and got some very cute pictures. She fit in with the pumpkins very well! She had a lot of fun playing with the corn stalks with grandpa and grandma and playing on the toy train with mom and dad.














We carved the pumpkin dad picked out today and Delaney had a blast playing in the pumpkin goo. She was very curious about it and had to have a bath after she was done!

Delaney's first trip to wisconsin

Delaney is about to turn 5months and is doing great. She is on her first vacation with mom and dad. We are up in northern wisconsin visiting Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Miller. We stopped in Beloit first to meet Great Grandpa Schroeder. She also got to meet her Great Aunt Sue and Great Uncle Jim. We are into our 3rd day of our trip and its already been a blast.

Delaney was wonderful the whole way up in the car, she slept most of the way and played with her toys if she wasnt asleep.

She just started to have rice cerele before we came up here and seemed ready to try and eat from a spoon. She did really well with it. It looks like she is going to be ready for baby food very soon! That means I will have to start making some baby food very soon.

4 Months Old

Delaney is four months old today! She is turning into one strong little girl! Her legs are the strongest and loves being held up she can hold on to things better now so she holds herself up on the couches now with mom or dad close by to catch her if she gets tired. she can pick her shoulders up when she is on her stomach and we weighed her yesterday and she weighed a little over 11 pounds.

Mom took her first big step and had her first night away from Delaney last night.... I didnt like it that much. I wont be doing it all that much Im sure. Patrick had to talk me out of going to get her on our way home last night, good thing he was driving.

She is such a good girl everywhere we go! Everyone thinks she is such a cutie too!!! We all still think she looks like mom and Grandpa!!!

Daddys 30th birthday is coming up, its hard to believe that a year ago that day we found out we were going to be having a baby. Now I cant even imagine my life with out her or Patrick!!!

3months old!

Delaney is 3 months old today! She has had a busy month of June so far. It started with her 2month check up, she went at 11 weeks so it was a little after 2months but she got her 2month shots and I cried when they did them. she weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces and was 22 inches long so she has grown a lot since she was born. That evening we ended up at grandmas though because the shots made her legs hurt really bad and I needed the grandmas touch to calm her down but that didnt work so we settled for some baby tylenol after 3 hours of crying she finally stopped and fell asleep in grandpas lap. What a rough day for her :( It made both her mom and grandma cry.

Her deveolpment is doing great she sleeps through the night most nights sometimes she wakes up and wants her diaper changed but she goes right back to sleep and is up after 7 hours wanting to eat. After she eats she is wide away and wanting to play. She always smiles at us in the morning and giggles. Her legs are getting so strong and is already standing up with help she is starting to pick up one foot at a time now too! She loves to stand up and look around at everyone. If she isnt doing that she is wanting to be walking around so she can see what all is going on. She is a busy body just like her dad!

She went on her very first road trip this past weekend to North Carolina. We went down to Charlotte to meet some family! She was such a good baby the whole way down and was so good the whole time we were visiting too! We had so much fun were going back down for Jackson's first birthday over labor day weekend!!!! This time daddy gets to go with so it will be even more fun!

Well thats all for now... here are some pictures though


Delaney's first trip to the farm to see the baby horses!!!




Her favoriet thing to do during the day is swing, untill she falls asleep

Such a busy girl

well Its been a while since I have written and let me say it doesnt seem like it. Delaney makes life so much fun and time files when I get to spend the day with her. Since I have last written She has been to soccer games to cheer on my high school team I coach and to watch me play in my first game back after having her. She has gone to watch her daddy play soccer and basketball also. She has had many visitors and goes to see grandma and grandpa schroeder every day! Her first smile was at Grandpa Schroeder, and her first photographed smile was at Grandma Schroeder. She is staying more and more awake every day and sleeps up to 5 hours at night now sometimes. She is a very happy baby and grunts and groans a lot but its never because she is upset.
I got a new job as a dog bather at petsmart so Im back to work before I wanted to head back and it sucks! Good thing I really like the job! I cried on my way to work the first three days. I missed her so much and hurried home after every shift. I wouldnt let patrick have her after my first day of work we had to catch up and spent that whole evening together. Now that I'm done my training and I'm working with dogs more I rush home and shower before I hold her so I don't get her sick since I deal with a lot of dirty dogs!
She has celebrated her first easter, first Apple Blossom, and I got to spend my first mothers day with her all day! It was wonderful.

Spending some quality time with daddy

My baby girl!

My baby girl is almost 6 weeks old! How the time has flown by. She's had a little bit of a stomach virus lately but the Dr. gave her some medicine. She's been to see me play soccer and basketball already. Steph brought her up to the gym and she sat with her Grandma Gladden during the game. She must be good luck, because I shot outstanding that night! I havn't played that well in a while, even though it wasn't a good team we played against.

That's her great Grandma JoAnne. She came over the first night that Mom came over to the house to watch Delaney. Every one still says she looks like the Schroeder side of the family. I guess she'll act like me then! That won't be good. Haha.

one month old

Well Delaney is a month old today! I can't believe it. Its sad how fast this month with her has gone. It sure has be a blast though. She is finally growing into her newborn cloths well and some 0-3 month outfits fit her. They are a little big but its so fun to put her in new outfits.


She is growing up just perfect, she weighs about 8 pounds now and has a head full of hair. She is starting to reconize our voices more now and looks around for us when she hears us talk.


Delaney adores her grandpa, he is the first person she ever smiled at and is always so content being with him.
Uncle Kyle held her for the first time Saturday, I still think he doesnt really know how to react with her. All in all though the picture was cute.
