Mommy's first bottle

Here is something weird- Mommy's first bottle, not Delaney's first bottle. Daddy, Nana, the daycare, Mama Dee, etc have all fed Delaney a bottle. Tonight was MOMMY'S first time feeding her a bottle. We decided to start giving her a little rice cereal in a bottle at night in attempt to get a few hours of sleep. The last few nights she has been up every 2 hours!!! It is like having a newborn again!

This is my new music box. As I posted earlier this year, we lost a great person this spring. Dr Lewis passed away. Today was an auction of his estate, including his house. Renell (my office mate) and I decided to go. I went knowing I wanted to buy something as a momento of Dr Lewis. When I arrived, there we SO many people in the tent around the auctioneer that I could not see anything. People started dispersing as a second auctioneer began making his way around the outside of the house auctioning various items on tables outside. As I approached the tent, I felt a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes as I thought of all the people there just there to get "stuff" and didn't even know Dr Lewis at all. I walked around and talked to some people before actually getting a "number" and heading to the tent to bid on things (this was the first auction I have ever participated in)

I bid on a few music boxes but didn't win until this one came up. Each Christmas Dr Lewis gave all the NICU babies a music box/globe. He also had a collection of music boxes of his own. All the nurses are pretty sentimental about them and a few people I talked to hoped to get one at the auction.

Mine is just gorgeous. It is a dark wood with a gold design on the top and corners. It was the largest that I saw while I was there - with room for storage of items on the inside. When I got home, I played it for Kenna. She wanted me to open it so she could watch it play music

I hope this works..... this is a video the first evening we saw Delaney roll over
