Our Lil Munchkins: May 2007

Yes, I'm behind in updating the blog....so, added lots of pictures to catch up! Shelby is 9-months old now, weighing 21 lbs and is 30 inches. Still loving to crawl EVERYWHERE and has stood up independently a few times, letting go of the furniture every now & then, but no walking yet. Doesn't quite have the balance....but that's ok, Mommy is really not ready to chase her even more; the crawling is plenty for now! Last week she tried some "regular" food....roasted chicken, carrots and peas. She liked it pretty well, although I think she had more fun playing with the food than eating it. :) Tried her on some macaroni pasta, green beans and more shredded chicken (from a can) this week....NOT a fan. She ate some of it, but I sure got a LOT of "icky" faces. We'll keep trying. Shelby is also really loving bathtime now...she has discovered splashing! She loves to clap her hands and has figured out that she can make big splashes when clapping them together in the water! She soaked me pretty good this evening. We went to Oklahoma for Mother's Day - it was really fun. Shelby & Mason had lots of fun playing. Mason took his first independent steps - Very exciting! And who did he walk to?? His Aunt Staci!! Daddy is in Iraq for a work assignment, so it's just been us girls. But we get to visit with him frequently via cell phone and email too. He's doing well and getting adjusted. Working lots of long hours, but keeping busy helps he says. He's also on me to keep up the blog , so I will have to do better. Anyways, hope you enjoy the pics!!
