Shelby, there are so many things we love about you! Here are a few ~ We love...
- how happy you are to see us each morning
- how sweet you are playing in your crib in the morning

- how you try to wink
- how you try to say "I love you"

- how you hug us
- how you grab our face and give us kisses
- how you hold your baby dolls and "shush" them
- how you love to read
- how you dance and spin
- how you love to pray with us - before a meal or at bedtime or anytime
- how you hold our hands and bow your head to pray
- how you say "Amen! Amen! Amen!" at the end of saying a prayer
- how you say "bye bye" to everyone
- how you "walk" on all fours
- how you imitate animals sounds (owl, cow, dog, cat)
- and how you like us doing animal sounds (monkey, donkey, horse, sheep, etc)
- how you say Please and Thank you and All done in sign language, while trying to speak it as well
- how you sweep the floor and wipe your highchair tray
- when you are ready to eat you go to get your highchair
- how you talk on the phone so well
- you playing with technology - cell phones, iPods, computers, etc
- the way you talk: mama, daddy/Josh, ball, b (for blanket), trash, YES!, No
- the way you rock on your horse and how you love rocking chairs
- the way you hold you arms up to be tickled
- love, love to hear you sing!
- how cute you look in pigtails
- how you stretch with daddy
You also like to watch Veggie Tales a lot. You love to eat grapes and fruit in general. (You were every sweet helping yourself to grapes at the grocery store last Monday.) You love to play with rocks and play at the park. You are very good at rocking on the whales. It is so nice that you understand just about everything we say to you. You play very well with other kiddos. You like to close doors. You like to start the dishwasher. You like to help cook. You like to help mommy with the laundry. You like to jump like crazy in your crib. And you like to jump on mommy and daddy's bed. You are doing very well at getting on the bed and the couch and chairs by yourself. You can go up and down stairs by yourself. You like to have a pretty bow in your hair. You have 14 teeth that are all the way in and two more that have been slowing working their way in. You love to throw things in the trash and ask "trash?" You are more interested in feeding yourself and you are doing a great job!
The picture above is from opening presents with Grandma Mary. Shelby loves her new stuffed animal, Ollie the elephant. We'll do another post with more Grandma Mary pictures later.
Shelby will love to look back on this post someday when she has kids! So sweet...love the elephant picture.
