Shelby is ONE today! :-)

OUR LITTLE TAZMANIAN DEVIL IS ONE TODAY!!!!

It absolutely AMAZES me how fast time really does fly by. I can't believe Shelby is one... I'm so happy and yet so sad. She's growing up too fast! I just want to scoop her up and keep her like this forever. :-)

I took Shelby to her One year doctor appointment. She's super healthy and just such a good baby. She's strictly on soy milk now. Yay! And she no longer uses a bottle either. She is 100% on a sippy cup. She eats 2-3 Gerber Toddler meals a day, at least 3-4 sippy cups of soy milk, AND she always eats whatever we're eating. :-)

She weighs 20lbs, 13oz. FINALLY! Man, this kid CANNOT gain weight. I try everything. She's just too active! Shelby take 1 - 2 naps a day, each about 30 minutes. On a really GOOD day it'll be an hour. But that is very rare. lol.

She is sleeping through the night! yay! She no longer drinks any milk at night. I do leave a sippy cup of water with her though in case she gets thirsty. It's been super hot lately.

She is also getting a little better every day on her potty. She still doesn't fully grasp what is going on but she still uses it. I figure it'll still be a few months.

Shelby's stitches were recently removed. The scar looks great! You can barely see it. Oh, and Shelby has an INCREDIBLE threshold for pain. She got 3 shots today and only cried the first prick. Then she went back to normal and went out to the lobby to play with the kids. :-) Super cute.

On another note, Shelby's FIRST Birthday party is THIS Sunday! WOOHOO! We are so excited and are looking forward to seeing some of you there. :-)

Hope you like the pictures!!!

Shelby and I at the track enjoying some down time with Lily, Adina, and Ezekiel. :-)

A picture from our photoshoot. :-) This is the only picture that's ready right now but it's one of my favs! I love it! :-)

This is at the Virginia Park which is right by my house. I like to stop by on my morning runs with Shelby. :-) Makes the run seem so much more fun!

Today's doctor visit. Just waiting to get her shots.

Mary and Shelby spending some quality time together. :-)

Happy Hump Day!

Shelby's ALMOST a year old!

I have NO idea where the time has gone. My baby is no longer a baby! She's a toddler now. :-( Life happens too fast sometimes.

SO...a little update. Shelby is going to be ONE on the 24th of this month. We're throwing her a big bash at Oakmeadow and if you did NOT receive an invitation, PLEASE let me know ASAP so I can get you one. If you have received one, PLEASE RSVP!! Thank you!!

Shelby is running, walking, jumping, screaming, talking, laughing, eating, running...(did I say that already?) haha! Yes, she is QUITE the mover. I have to go, go, go all the time to keep up with her. She is having so much trouble trying to gain weight. She can't seem to keep any of it on. She's still at 20lbs but she's 31 inches tall now. :-) My little giraffe.


Here's a picture of Shelby and her first barbie. She wasn't too fond of her though. She started whacking her head on the stairs. hahahaha!

Shelby and her friends at the Campbell Community Center park. :-)

I LOVE HER HAIR!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! She's such a cutie pie. She has Geoff's looks and my hair. :-)

Here's the before picture. :-)

THIS is the after picture. Shelby has recently learned how to get naked and even take off her diaper. So here she is on the loose. :-)

Shelby wearing a sound proof headset. It was funny to see her slightly freak out because she couldn't hear anything. :-) Super cute picture though.

Shelby loves going to Mel Cotton's with us and found a pink fishing pole that I think we should get for her. She played with that thing for almost an hour.

Shelby and Jamison goofing off after a fun filled day of shooting clays. :-)

Shelby having fun at the park. She loves making a mess and loves being able to make BIG messes when she's outside.

So, today I went shopping for birthday presents for Shelby and some of her friends. :-) WELL, she walked up to this toy, climbed on, and proceeded to chase me in it. I bought it for her. :-)

Shelby is such a good sport. I know she hates sitting in the car when I'm working (doing inspections) but she is such a good girl. I make sure and take her out whenever we drive by a park and play for a while. Here's just a nice picture of us getting ready for some fun in the sun.

I am a fruit freak! So every morning (while working) we share a nice BIG bowl of Strawberries, Pineapple, Grapes, Bananas, and Apples. :-) Strawberries are her favorite!

Shelby fell asleep on our walk at the track with Lily and Adina. Adina is getting so big! She's 16 months old now! Wowza!

Shelby and Rachel goofing off at Tina's house. :-)

I hope you enjoyed the update!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. So, Shelby's vocabulary is starting to slowly develop. She says "mama", "dada", "hi", "UP", "down", "car", "push", and "potty". :-) She's getting SO big and she's SO smart! I love my little tazmanian devil. :-)
