Shelby is really a papaw girl!!! and even sa...ys she is going to marry him!!!:) I love the innosence of this age!! I just pray that God will protect Shelby, and Cadi and Vance all the days of their lives from evil things that kids are so often exposed to.A sweet Shelby story, She was playing in some of my fabric and dress up closes and brought a doll for me to put a dress on... when I went to get the doll I shocked Shelby, I said oh I am so sorry I shocked you.... with her tiny little hands she put them on my face and said... It's ok SWEETIE!!!! Your so beautiful!!!!:) I wish all of you could know Shelby.... she has a fun but really caring personality.... and can be a little witty!!!!:) and a jokester!!!! LOL Happy Birthday Sweet Shelby!!!!!

Dear Jesus

Written by nanny Even a little 4 year old can be a testimony. Shelby an I meet Steve a lot for lunch and Shelby likes to say the prayer an even sometimes sings a song(sometimes not so quietly) but yesterday she prayed louder than usual and ask God to help nanny and papaw and Cadi and momma and daddy and we could get the tent out and go to the lake and few other things. these may seem so small to some but a lady walked over to our table with a little tear in her eye and told Shelby what a blessing that was. Then another lady came over and told Shelby she heard her pray. Makes me feel convicted that I should share God's love more out loud ..

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

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

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

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

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

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.
