Her Locks and Lost Chocolate

Shelby's hair is getting long. When I'm washing it I tell her, "Flash your locks!" and she shakes her head from side to side splashing water everywhere. If I had a water-proof camera I would have a picture of it by now. As for the lost chocolate, I have a bunch of lip balm/gloss in my purse that Shelby loves to after. Since she killed her Burt's Bees that I gave her whenever she needs some she says, "My lip balm is dead?" and she proceeds to go towards my purse to get mine. I let her have some but it can't stop there, can it? She knows about the minty lip gloss I bought at Bath and Body Works because she helped me choose the flavors. Anywho, after the Burt's Bees it's time for the "minty" of which there are two: peppermint and chocolate mint. Shelby needs both. Next goes on the peppermint and lastly the chocolate mint. Last night, after the usual ritual of three layers of lip treatment Shelby went off about her business, played a bit, climbed onto the facing couch smooshing her face (and lips) in the seat (it's a good thing it's leather). She came back a few minutes later declaring that her "chocolate fell off!"

 

 

 

 

 

Shelb's Bday

 
 

Yesterday

Grandma: Happy birthday, Shelby!

Shelby: Happy birthday, Grandma.

Shelby the Viking (at the grocery store)

Shelb has a bum ear

Sidney does this thing where he sits on his bike and then he puts Shelby on the seat with him, seated in front of him. Then he drives her around the house. She loves it. Well, the last time he did that he never took her off of the bike, he just left her up there - stuck. Poor Princess couldn't get down. I didn't even realize what was going on. I looked at her and continued what I was doing. (Bad mommy!) Next thing we heard was a crash and a scream and then crying. Shelby was trying to get down by herself but the bike fell down with her all tangled in it. She said her knee hurt but later I noticed that half of her right ear was bruised. That was Sunday. It's still bruised but getting better. If you say anything to her about her ear she'll respond with, "Fall off the bike?" Aww. Send her kisses when you can. She's worth it.

Update

Shelby ended up with a UTI apparently. So she started with the throwing up, then the diarrhea had to run its course, and now this. I took her to the doctor's Saturday evening. He told me that if we couldn't get any pee in a cup then they would have to use a catheter. Oh no. You better believe I put Shelby on that toilet and got her to pee in that cup. I was so proud of her. I asked her to pee and before I was ready she started. I had to fight with that cup and was afraid I didn't get enough but the doc said it was good. *phew* Now only ten days of antibiotics.

Shelby has the squirts

I don't know what it was but last week Shelb threw up a couple of times. Once was scary because she was asleep on her back. Hubby and I were thankful that we haven't kicked her out of our bed just yet. I heard the first sputter and immediately grabbed her and rushed her to the bathroom. Anyway, since she's been throwing up her #2 stuff has been getting softer and softer until finally, the day before yesterday, she was squirting. Ewww. I know. We took her to the doctor yesterday. As far as she can tell she's fine. No fever, no lack of appetite, still playing, still her usual diva self. We've modified her diet and hopefully that will help to firm her back up.

Pre-Picture Day

I used Shelby as a model to take some test pictures at the school and she very cutely and obediently sat on the stool and posed for the camera. After the first pic I told her to smile and you see what she gave me. She had me rollin' with laughter!

Shelby Lately

I Know You Can't Enough of Her

No lighting experiments here - I was too tired. I barely finished ironing the sheet I used as a background.

No, I Guess She Doesn't Smile So Much
