It's amazing to me to see how much she really has grown. To look back at pictures when she was so tiny and so orange to what she is today it's just AMAZING! Where little tiny baby teeth once were placed so perfectly there now sit Bigger teeth she'll carry for the rest of her life.
Where baby fuzz once laid perfectly on her round little head there are now long locks of brown hair...and BANGS!
Those eyes that were once such a deep blue are now so beautifully green! I could stare into them for hours!
That smile just gets better every day. She has the biggest, warmest smile that just melts my heart!
Her skin that was once so orange from jaundice is now a natural olive color that tans so nicely in the summer and looks great year round! She didn't get that from me, I go from pasty to tan and back again each year!
Her laughter fills a room and can make a bad day better!
She is kind and gentle and such a little mini-me. She is a great big sister!! Garrett and Lucy both look up to her so much and love to spend time with her. Heck even other peoples kids love to hang out with her and I just love that!
Everywhere she goes she leaves an impression. Her very first day care provider happened to be Jason's daycare provider when he was little...she still gets emotional when she sees Delaney at church or in public. She says Delaney is so special and was always such an easy baby. The same holds true for Jennifer and Stacie who were her next day care providers. Stacie and I cried together the first day of Kindergarten as Delaney boarded the bus to Mize Elementary for the first time with Stacie's daughter Alex! I still remember racing behind the bus to get to the school in time to greet her and walk her to her classroom for the first time. Now she's beyond Kindergarten and soared through 1st grade...she is ready, more than I am, to start her journey into 2nd grade with some old friends, some new friends and lots of new learning!
She loves to learn new things and loves to read! She is so smart, she even taught herself how to braid! Now she sits and watches youtube videos on how to do different braids and practices on her baby dolls! She'd practice on Lucy but she won't sit still long enough! LOL
I love that she will try anything, from different foods, to riding motorcycles and four wheelers to getting pedicures and dance lessons. She is a jack of all traits! She is going places that little girl of mine. I cannot wait to see what else the future brings for this little girl. I love her more than words on here can really display!
Happy 7th Birthday Delaney Tierney Krueger!!!
Love,
Mom
