Shelb Today

Shelby had a plastic duck on her head and when it rolled off she said, "I felled it off!"

I asked Shelby to do something for me and she said, "Sure."

She is so proud of herself

Shelby wanted a granola bar but it was in the pantry on a shelf that she couldn't reach. She asked me to get it for her but I told her to use her stool. She pulled and pushed it until it got where she needed it, and then she climbed up and got the granola bar. She was so happy - she was too cute. For the rest of the day she used any excuse to use her stool to climb to reach something - the box of macaroni, a cup, whatever.

Looking Innocent

 

Wearing Lip Balm AND Lip Gloss

 

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.
