Some Pix for the Nosey Ones :)

Because Auntie Nyabg nagged reminded me about posting pictures, here are some taken about 15 mins ago.

And another...

And yet another...

Shelby is getting bigger and more beautiful with each passing day!

She's getting more control of her hands now. She grips things, she can sometimes push her pacifier back in her mouth, and she even tries to prop up her bottle with a closed fist.

She's so pleasant. She loves interaction. She loves to be talked to and played with and kissed. She also loves being bathed. That's an easy way to calm her down when she's having her usual late-night fussiness.

She's really the sweetest!

Shopping Spree

This cold weather has given me reason to go on a shopping spree for Shelby. (It helps that I had a $200 gift card for Babies R Us that I got from my co-workers.) The past few days it has been near-freezing weather and poor Shelby didn't have much to wear in the way of warm clothes. So we took that gift card, left Shelb at home with grandma, and braved the biting wind to go buy my baby some clothes. It was fun though. That was the first clothes shopping I've done for her. Girls' clothes are the cutest. We spent $170 on outfits. Some fit now, some are slightly bigger, and a few she won't be able to wear for a while. But at least for now she'll be warm. We bought long-sleeved bodysuits, tops, pants, jumper-like outfits, and even two hats. If you could see her now!

The Latest Names and Stuff

Somehow Shelby got the following (addt'l) nicknames: Booby, Boobala, Princess Boobala, Princess Pukey, Shelb, Shelbylana, and my current favorite Shelbyla.

She's making all sorts of sounds these days. She's cooing and grunting and snorting. Sounds sort of animalistic, doesn't it?

Yesterday she was laying her head in Sidney's lap while he read to her and she found that so amusing; she was all smiles.

Her two month check up should be next Monday and I have yet to schedule the appt. She will have to get FOUR shots and I'm not looking forward to it. At least she doesn't know what's coming.

Smiles of the Day

I probably shouldn't have laughed but it was funny.

Shelby has a strong grip with those little hands and long fingers of hers. A few minutes ago she found her hair and grabbed a hold of it. I didn't realize it until she started making up her face into a frown like she was getting ready to cry. I went to find out what the problem was which was when I saw the grip she had on her hair. Poor baby didn't know how to let go!

Morning Sunshine

Three smiles in a row!
