Baseball and Daddy!

We had a mini-vacation for 2 days a couple of weeks ago. My friend Lisa invited us over to her house to relax and hang out for a couple of days. It was so much fun! The bbq was delicious. We took Delainey's little bike with us and she rode it around the pool. She wanted to go in the pool so bad but was terrified of it. It took me forever to convince her just to play on the stairs but once she did she had a blast and didn't want to get out! Lisa has a little dog named Max. He is adorable and Delainey loved him but not so sure he was that fond of us! LOL!

Chillin in the pool!

Riding her little bike!

Chris was called up with the Seattle Mariners right before the All-Star break. The Mariners were in town this week so Delainey got to spend some time with her daddy. They spent the day together on Monday since he had an off day. It took a little while for her to get reacquainted with him since she hadn't seen him in 5 months but once she did she was fine and I was able to leave. They played hide and seek and Delainey had to go to the bathroom but didn't want to get out of her hiding spot and she had a little accident. It wasn't a big deal. Chris put her in the bathtub and I ran down to get her some clean clothes. They played ball too. It was so funny when Chris would catch it Delainey would just laugh and laugh. Chris also got us tickets to the games and Delainey had a blast. She absolutely loves going to the games. I took her down before and after the games so she could see him and wish him luck. He didn't get in to play but Delainey still enjoyed seeing him at the ballpark again. There was a rain delay before game 2 but it was still fun. I thought it was adorable that Delainey screamed at Chris from out seats during the games and during the 2nd game actually got "mad" at him because he wouldn't wave at her! LOL! Try explaining to a 3 year old that daddy didn't wave because he couldn't hear her! :) Chris also gave her a baseball every time we were down there so now she has a little collection going. It was kind of tough telling Delainey that Chris had to leave. She didn't quite understand why daddy had to leave to play ball when he was already playing ball. I know she loves every minute she gets to spend with him since she doesn't see him very often. Chris said that they'd be back in town in about 3 weeks so Delainey's looking forward to that! I think they have another off day also so it will be a full day she gets to see him instead of just a few minutes at the ballpark! :)

GO TIGERS....unless daddy's up...then it's Go Daddy!

Outside the ballpark waiting for the tickets to come down to Will Call.

With Santa PAWS. She was absolutely terrified of PAWS until Wednesday's game. Thank goodness she finally likes him! :)

With her daddy after the game right before he left.

What a long and exhausting week it's been!

We've had some crazy weather here in MI this year so far! A 70 degree day in February, a few warm days in April and May...now it's June and it's only 60 degrees! Will it EVER warm up?!

Allergy season has kicked in for Delainey! She has had a runny nose, itchy throat, and watery eyes for the last 4 or 5 days! I feel so bad. Her doc took her off of the zyrtec saying that she was better without it. So now...we are battling the allergies head on! At night she gets a dose of tylenol runny nose just so she can sleep and be able to breathe!

Our camping trip was cut short due to taking Grandpa to the hospital. He was admitted but hopefully will get to come home sometime this week!

We did have a lot of fun the afternoon we were there! Delainey loved playing at the little park, looking at the water, and talking to the cows! She wanted to go in the pool but it was just a little too chilly to go swimming! There was also this older couple across the road way that had a little dog, Annie. Delainey just fell in love with this little dog and took up with the older gentelman real well too! It was kind of funny because she preferred to stay at their campsite instead of ours! There was also this giant slide. She was scared of it at first but once she went down the first time she loved it.


Climbing up to the slide!

On the tires!

Talking to the cow!

Delainey has been one little firecracker the past 2 days! She has done everything in her power to NOT listen to me! She tried my patience so bad I thought I was going to scream! Another thing I'm trying to get her out of the habbit of is making me tell or ask her something more than once! This is something that REALLY needs to be worked on because she is at the age where she thinks she can do everything for herself and that mommy can't tell her anything! I can not wait for this stage to fade!

What a day...

Chillin on the slide!

Being goofy! :)

On the swings.

Climbing on the monkey bars.

Love that smile!

What a day we had. It started off with Delainey having one of those attitudes where she really didn't want to listen. I was in the bathroom getting ready to go (just like every other day). However today Delainey never came into bathroom to do her "make-up" as well. I went searching the house and to my surprise I could not find her! I ran outside frantically searching for her. In a full out panic I ran to the neighbors house. Yep, you guessed it....my 3-year old daughter had decided that she wanted to go visit Connie. I yelled at her for scaring mommy and she cried for about 15 minutes. I know that she felt bad but I was still terrified. I have since bought a new lock for the door that will be installed high up so she can not reach it!

We also finally made it to the park. I've been busy so it's been hard to get her there. She had a blast even though it was really hot and she couldn't go down the slide because it kept burning her legs. We were only there for about 30 mins because she doesn't handle the heat very well.

She also picked out a little pool. It's cute but I thought it would have been a little bigger. It's a whale and has a little slide....you can also attach the hose to the slide and makes a little sprinkler as she slides down it. She loves it!

She's going on her first camping trip tomorrow. My grandparents have invited us out for the weekend so we're going for an over-night trip. We'll be back sometime on Saturday afternoon. She's excited and can't wait to go in the "big" pool. LOL. I'll have photos of our trip that I will post when I have some time next week.

Finally...

I've finally created a blog. This will be about Delainey Mae to keep everyone updated that doesn't get to see or talk to her often! I hope you guys enjoy it and I'll try to update as much as possible! So here we go!

Cowgirl Delainey! She was using her jump rope as a lasso! HAHA!


She decided to do her own make-up! Beautiful isn't she?! :)

Delainey started wetting the bed out of the blue a few weeks ago. I took her to the doctors because it is very unusual for her to wet the bed (she hasn't done so in over a year.) He ran blood tests on her thinking that it may be childhood diabetes (since diabetes runs in the family) and urine tests to see if she had a bladder infectior or UTI. All of the blood work came back normal...including her platelet count which has always been extremely high (they are still on the high side but still in the normal range.) Turns out she has a UTI and has been put on medication for it. She is not able to take a bath...especially a bubble bath because they can cause her to keep getting them. Let me tell you, it's not the easiest thing giving a 3 year old a shower!

Other than that she is doing extremely well. She is loving playing outside when it happens to be nice here in crazy-weather Michigan. I'm off on Wednesday so a trip to the park has been planned. She's excited about our 1st picnic of the year. I'll upload pictures sometime on Wednesday night of our trip to the park!
