My Little Stinker

Delaney goes by many names in our house: Delaney, Laney, Laneybug, Delaney Ann, Pumpkin, Baby Girl, and I also affectionately refer to her as Stinker (that's Brooks' favorite).  She totally lives up to that name.  She is a ball of energy and stubbornness.  She's also completely happy...as long as nobody is getting in the way of what she wants to do.
When I ask her to come here, she looks at me with this adorable smile...and then darts the other way -Stinker.
She'll have her water right in front of her but she'll be fussing for someone else's water - Stinker.
She will take one of Brooks' toys and let him get just close enough to almost grab it, and then she runs like the wind to get away from him, laughing and squealing the whole time - Stinker.
But through all of her tantrums, the 100's of times she tries to tell me "NO!" in a day, her fussing, and food throwing...I am absolutely in love with my Stinker.  Probably because in between the fussing and whining, she smiles all the time, plays so sweetly with her baby dolls, sits and reads a book with me, lets me do her hair, and gives me plenty of hugs and kisses.
