A Day in the Life

We can't really say that there is a normal day in the life of the Delps. Seems like every day at this point comes with a new surprise. You'd think we'd be used to that by now almost 3 years into parenthood, but we are amazed at what comes next.

Sam continues to love to make cookies and muffins with mommy. His favorite activity of the process is licking the spoon after they are complete. On this particular occasion, Sam decided to take it easy while he waiting for the muffins and he licked the spoon. Let's say Sam has an abnormal attention span:

Sam has always loved playing peek-a-boo. Since he was 6 months old, this was his favorite game. For any of you that have had the privilege of watching Sam, you know his love for the sport. Well, he has taken the "where's sam" game to a new level this week with wearing daddy's hat around the house:

Maya is almost one year old, which crazy enough by itself. But our little girl is a little crazy we think (a good crazy of course). Her personality and spunk are a fun addition to the Delp clan. She is in the middle of her phase of getting into almost everything that she possibly can around the house, and it is often that we find Maya somewhere suspect, like in the pantry sorting through our recycling. This is the face that we usually find on her when we discover where she is playing:

Maya has begun to take an interest in books around the house. She enjoys paging through them and act like she is reading. Here is a picture of her reading The Cat in the Hat:

Sam has started to memorize book in a way that he can recite the entire book back to us, or in this case, to Maya. It comes across as Sam is reading to Maya, which is amazingly cute. For all of the time that Sam get's frustrated with Maya trying to play with his trains, there are 10 times of Sam caring for his little sister and treating her with an amazing amount of love. Here is Sam reading the Wheels on the Bus to Maya.
