What A Week

What a week this has been!  I know they say that babies make rapid progress in development, but WHOAAA, this is to much, too quickly...Gosh, it's only Wednesday, can't imagine what the rest of the week & weekend will be like.

 

Stephanie's attempting to now "email" her blog update, so we'll see how/if this all works.  If not, you got the email, so you know what's going on in our world. :)  There are so many cute pictures from the last couple of days, it was hard to select the "few" that are attached here.

 

Monday, we celebrated Gigi's birthday.  One of the pictures is Shelby opening a present that came from San Antonio.  Of course, she's too interested in the paper to care about anything else.  Then Dad got some "bow" practice.  Shelby was a rather cooperative little model -- she's turned into quite the camera lover. 

 

Tuesday was work as usual.  After Shelby's bath, Dad noticed there's not one tooth, but TWO teeth in that little mouth of hers!  That explains why Monday was a rather fussy afternoon!  She must have been busy growing teeth.

 

Wednesday, Dad and Grandpa finished (we think) putting up our Christmas lights outside.  Shelby LOVES the lights.  She chirps when she sees them the first time, and then just gazes all around.  Yes, there are a lot of lights at our house this year.  None shines as bright as our little one...or maybe that's the sparkle in our own eyes when we're watching her!

 

We've decided she is giving kisses already too.  I was not giving her credit when Gigi said this on Tuesday.  But, I told Gigi, that if she wanted to believe it, she could.  Then today, my parents told me the same thing.  My mom would tell her to give her a kiss, and Shelby will lean in, slobber, and pull back, it seems as if she's really giving kisses.  Gigi also noticed how smart she is with her Christmas puppy.  She sings along with him, and at the end of the song, when his tail wags, you can tell her to get his tail, and yes, she reaches right out for his little wagging tail!  (Watch out real pups, she's coming for you sooner than you'd like!)  There's a picture of her in her walker, playing with the puppy.

 

She's growing up so fast.  What a week this has been -- these are simply the moments I can remember -- and get typed out quickly!!
