10 things you might not know about Shelby

1) Shelby currently has a little runny nose. She started it on Saturday which coincidently was the day that we spent most of the day outside getting our fall decor in place. She is much better today but had a few days where she didn't feel well and was cranky. She hates the nasal aspirator that we got at the hospital, but doesn't mind her battery operated one so much. (One of my favorite gifts!) Her smile is back today! We are dismissing this as seasonal allergies/cold/weather changing but as fast as she is growing I wouldn't be shocked at a tooth coming in. This girl likes to surprise us.

2) Shelby can roll from tummy to back (consistently) and from her back to her side (sometimes). She holds her head up very well. When on her tummy she will prop herself up on her elbows. She likes to sit up in your lap whenever she can. She even likes to sit up and drink her bottle sometimes. She can sit in her Bumbo seat, but is not 100% confident in it, so we just try it on occasion.

3) Shelby is now exclusively on the ready to feed Similac Advance. We had her on this at the hotel but had switched to the powder when we got home since it was more cost efficient for us. But, due to the recall they have temporarily lowered the price of the liquid and we are stocking up. With the $5 checks from Similac, and coupons you can print online, we are doing well. For anyone looking for great stocking stuffer ideas.......

.....get them while they are cheap (just check the expiration dates!)

4) Shelby is starting to sleep for longer periods in the night. She likes her crib and her lady bug light that is in it. She loves her mobile. She love to take naps in the day time too!

5) Shelby LOVES music! Charlie gave her a toy yesterday that plays music whenever it's just barely touched. So even though she isn't too coordinated yet, Shelby can make it come on. She loves it! It lights up too!

6) Shelby moved into size 2 diapers today. The diapers I like best for her are Huggies, though we are a "use what we have" kind of family. We have been blessed to have many people give us diapers!

7) Shelby loves her pacifier when she has it, but doesn't seem to miss it when she doesn't. When she does she is very loud sucking on it because she just loves it so much! Sometimes she sucks on it, sometimes she chews on it just depending on her mood I guess.

8) Shelby is still a sweat box. She get hot very easily and doesn't stand for it. She protest about 3 things- hunger, needing a diaper change or being hot! She is enjoying the cooler weather as long as we don't try to dress her in any thing more than we did in the summer time.

9) Shelby recently discovered her tongue. She spends lots of time sticking it in and out of her mouth. It's funny.

10) Mr. D. is Shelby's favorite reality tv show. She LOVES him and can't take her eyes off of him whenever he's around. She thinks he is the dog's bark (instead of cat's meow since he hates cats).
