I have been on Spring Break this week. It has gone by way too fast and I am not sure we could have packed one more thing into it. I can honestly say it was the best Spring Break that I have ever had. We spent a little of our time visiting and a lot of our time staying at home. It was the perfect mix.
I have many things crossed off of my to-do list and spent a blissful week playing stay-at-home Mom.
This photo recap is not in chronological order because I didn't want you to have to wait any longer to read an update.
The trio looking at books.
My sweet little Char-latte!
Shelby showing off her standing moves to Kim.
Maggie-- trying to coax Shelby under the table after she got in trouble for going under there...
Of course Maggie didn't know she wasn't supposed to be under there so that made it even more funny!
CUTIE!
Hello Diva!
Rylee and Shelby
Shelby and Nonnie
I love this sweet little face!
Shelby loves Rylee SO SO SO much!
Sweet pic!
These are my cookie girls. They were loving their vanilla wafers!
When Mr. D. was cleaning out our closet, he found my (unused) yoga mat. We put it down for Shelby to play on in the living room. Here she is practicing her yoga!
Shelby got to try a few new things this week. Here she is loving a goldfish cracker.
She also tried YoBaby yogurt with sweet potatoes and apples with no reaction! Another new food this week was shredded cheese. Oh and strawberry yogurt melts too!
We had an Air Conditioner repair company come over on Thursday for the free routine maintenance as part of a service agreement that we had signed up for years ago. Anyway, they said we need a part... blah blah blah and that it was OK to run the AC as it is. We didn't need it that day but the next afternoon we turned it on and later that night I found this....
The technician failed to connect the hose that takes the water outside so it drained all in our attic. ARRGGGG!!!OK- I wish this picture was better. Shelby was skyping with Henry and Aunt Moo. The dining room windows couples with a dirty laptop screen have not helped in the image. But look at sweet Henry blowing her a kiss.... and Shelby appearing to be doing the same, but in all actuality she was stuffing her face with cheese and goldfish. Precious!
We should attempt a photo do over under better conditions!
You'll have to forgive the lack of a diaper cover in the next two pics. Her Daddy dressed her and I don't complain about what she is wearing when he does. Anyway, between our couches I keep pillows and blankets. It's Shelby's newest favorite hiding place.
Here is a funny picture I snapped while vacuuming. Isn't it funny that it looks like she was reading the paper.
Shelby's latest favorite toys are balls and her nesting cups.
Charlie gave her a fabulous toy in her hand-me-down toy box. I am sorry I don't have pictures of it, but will post some soon- maybe even a video.
Shelby is also enjoying looking at books more and more. She always seems to flip this book to the page with the cupcakes... or maybe the strawberries I am not sure which.
Shelby visiting with "the Grandfather" - my Mother's Father.
Shelby stole Charlie's sippy cup- the kind with the straw.
Charlie showing off some super sweet dance moves.
Charlie teaching Shelby how to use her laptop.... Shelby too busy checking our Charlie's PJ's.
Shelby and I worked on a top secret project that took what seemed like years to get it all together. I envisioned this weeks ago and it took a village to bring it to fruition. I wish I could share more, but I can't right now. But when you find out your face may look like this--- total shock!
Sorry this is blurry I snapped it on the camera phone. I was cleaning my bathroom and Mr. D. was cleaning out his closet and he put his closet mirror out for the little miss. Too cute.
Shelby skyping over breakfast with her cousins Donovan and Kaleigh.
Shelby spent time with all of her cousins this week!!
This is Shelby all decked out and ready to go to lunch and shopping with her Daddy.
Shopping.... before she lost one of her shoes. As Kate would say- temporary treasures. I would like to note that Mr. D. scoured the whole Bed Bath and Beyond trying to locate it with no luck. What a great Dad!
Shelby took her first "in the buggy" ride this week. She was fascinated. I however was not prepared for all of the people who thought this gave them permission to talk to and touch her. Personal space people!
Oh- and this could quite possible be the cutest part of the whole situation!
While Shelby played with Nonnie, I was able to delete a few items off of my computer-- 2,206 to be exact.
Here she is being super silly in the car seat. She was having a bottle in the car while her Daddy was getting a haircut. Please note that the bottle cover matches her outfit.
Shelby - a self feeding portrait.
I thought this was SO funny. Shelby literally crawled out of her pants.

Thank you for all the wonderful pics! I think 6-8 months is so fun because they are learning like crazy every day!
Thank you for sharing the adventures of your first spring break with Miss Shelby Kate! Wow what a fun time. Loved the hiding place between the couches. I loved the story of her crawling while holding on to her blue ball. Oh and how she poses her little hands for the photo op while she crawls. Shelby and the empty peanut butter jar and Rylee taking was so funny when Shelby did the slow motion hurt feeling cry. (slow motion look around, pout lips, scrunch face, then cry).
I enjoyed all the pictures. Shelby is growing so much and learning so many new things. I know you and Paul are loving every minute.
