Tiny Dancer

Caidance started taking Gymnastics a few weeks ago and she is just loving it. She is going to the Little Gym and taking 30 minutes of tap and ballet and 30 minutes of Gymnastics. She loves her teacher Mrs. Rebecca and all of her sweet little friends that she has met. It is a really small class so she is really able to get a lot of one on one attention. She is so excited because she has a little dance recital at the end of May and she cannot wait. I am so proud of how well she is doing and she is not afraid to try anything, she just jumps right in!

20-22 Months

Things that you have been achieving! You have went from saying "no" to everything to answering "shesh",(slight pause), I do". You have now decided that you really enjoy wearing bows. You will push your sissy out of the way if she is getting her hair fixed and you scream, Bow!You love to tease us by saying, "mommies girl" to daddy or "daddy's girl" to me. You love to grab my phone and play games on it and you have gotten pretty good at navigating your way around it. You love to "skype" papaw in Columbia and show him all of your tricks. You love to give kisses and hugs and your favorite t.v. show is Elmo. When the show is over you tell me "mote" aka remote and we have to start it over again. You finally have tubes in your ears and your aednoids out. You got the flu for the first time. Yuck! You love saying, ewwww! Anytime you see something gross. I think you just like to hear yourself say it. You love to sneak into your sissy's room and try to steal gum out of her gumball machine. Your papaw let you start eating mints and you just love them. You have this "thing" with wanting all of the doors shut and then you say, Thank you daddy! The most precious thing that you do is pray or should I say "pay" . After every bite that you take, you want to "pay" and you put your hands together and say, "pay" "pay"! It is just amazing how kissing your boo boos make everything better. You can be screaming your head off because you stumped your toe, but as soon as I kiss it, you are completely fine, You say, "tank you momma"You are just the sweetest!

17 Months-20Months

Wow several months have gone by and this is what Shel boo has learned this month! Nanny, play, "sitty", "bayboo" for Bailey boo, outside, oh and Shelby! She still has those pesky ear infections! She has learned how to do a flip, give kisses, high fives, she does not like bows, shoes, or earrings and she will take them all off :) You weighed 22 lbs at 15 months. Your personality is the funniest that I have ever seen. You make the cutest faces and you love to make people laugh. You are finally getting a little bit of hair, just enough for Nanny to put a tiny pony tail. You have this new noise called your croker and we laugh so hard when you make this noise. At six months, I think I posted about how little your feet were, well now we are having to get special shoes for you because your feet are so wide. Nanny bought you some special shoes for your chunky feet and you look precious in them. You really like things picked up. For example: as soon as Brooke and Boston wake up at Mrs. Sherry's, you put their mats up for them. Also, as soon and I change your diaper, you are very quick to say, "chash" and go put it in the trash! Believe me I am not complaining, keep it up!You are such a blessing to us!

1 Year Old

I cannot believe you are already the big 1. This year has gone by so amazingly fast. I don't even know where to begin. You are now walking and saying, "dada, momma, papaw, this, what's that, sissy, thank you and ball". You are still waking up at least once a night and you sleep till about 8:00 which is nice. You HATE baby food so you are very spoiled and we cook for you so that you do not have to eat that nasty stuff. You love trying to keep up with your sissy and you weighed 20lbs at your dr. visit with of course another ear infection.

Shelby 10 Months

Well Shelby is 10 months and we are finally reflux free!!! She is off of her zantac and doing much better with the reflux. However, still having ear infections. She had an ear infection in both ears this month. She is really wanting to walk. Shelby will hold onto the other kids at Mrs. Sherri's house to get from one side of the room to the other. She is pushing toys all over the place. She is also holding the phone up to her ear and saying, "papaw." She now has 6 teeth and is she loves her gerber biscuits.

Shelby is 9 Months

Stomach bug, 2 ear infections, shots, E.R. visit, Iv's, blood work. My poor baby has had a rough month. On a good note, she has said Pawpaw and momma, and she learned to wave bye bye and play patty cake. She weighs 17 1/2 lbs. She wants to be everywhere you are and she will crawl as fast as she can to be with you. If you get real close to her face she will grab your cheeks and give you a big wet kiss. She does NOT like her bows and she will pull them off every time you put one on her. We are lucky to catch a picture. Oh and this girl LOVES to dance.

Shelby is 8 months

17 pounds and cute as a bug. Shelby just cut her third tooth. I have noticed a pattern now. Shelby get's an ear infection every time she cuts a tooth. She had to go to the urgent care for her third ear infection and it just so happened that she cut her third tooth that day. We think that she might be saying her first word, but not sure if she is just babbling. It sounds like she is saying DaDa. Her daddy is certain that is what she is saying. Shelby is just so full of joy. She laughs and smiles at everything. She is just such a happy baby and growing way to fast.

Shelby is 6 Months

Well Shelby is really showing her personality and it is not the quiet little Shelby that we thought. Shelby is really outspoken and tries her hardest to keep up with her sissy. She wants so badly to crawl. She will just roll until she makes it to where she wants to go. Oh and she has 2 little teeth. She is just a cutie pie. Shelby is finally sleeping in her own room. I know it took six months, but we were so nervous about your reflux. You still wake up about 2 times a night because you are hungry.
