Since her arrival into the family, Delaney and Cole haven’t been the fastest friends. His exuberant affection has been somewhat unwelcome and frequently upsetting to her. But the last couple of weeks, these two have seem to have found a connection. She now smiles whenever she sees him and he makes her giggle like no one else. Today, he made her laugh out loud—the first time I’ve ever heard her do this. I am sure it is that she is older now, and can better appreciate his sweetness and silliness; he is learning to be more gentle with her, as well. It is wonderful to see them enjoy each other so much. He had obviously adored her for months, but it was definitely not reciprocated. He has a squeaky voice that he uses only for Delaney, which is both hilarious and sweet, and he always tries to help her and play with her. As she gets older, it’s going to be a lot of fun to see this relationship evolve.
