What an eventful month we've had! Kicked things off with July 4th and a houseful of company! Grandma & Grandpa C, Mason and Uncle Russ came to visit. We had lots of fun playing, cooking out and eating cake & ice cream! Shelby had her first taste of sweets....Uncle Russ shared his DQ Blizzard and boy was she his best friend! She also had some chocolate cake and her first hamburger. She liked it pretty well. We went to OK for Mason's 1-year bday party...what fun that was! Shelby didn't much care for the water adventures, but she had fun playing with Jaylee & Mason and her great Aunts & Uncles. She even got a couple of early bday gifts, so she got a little practice in opening presents. Enjoyed the paper more than the toys of course! Shelby caught a stomach bug last week, fortunately we were still in OK visiting so Granny helped me take care of her. Yes, hit a Mom milestone last week.....I was puked on. Vomiting, fever, and diarrhea that resulted in the most horrible diaper rash. This was an event I hope to not repeat again. Thankfully she is all better now and back to her old self. But her biggest milestone this month is walking. Everyone kept saying "Any day now..." and sure enough she just took off!! She walks everywhere, even picks up & carries her Huggies diaper box (empty of course - but I'm impressed she can manage to pick it up and walk!). I think the cats are a little worried now that she is even more mobile. It's been a lot of fun watching her explore and hit this milestone. Exhausting as well...;-) She's also said a few words....Boo (comes out sounding like bow), Git (she helps scold Maduro when he gets on the counter), Mom (sounds like Mum) and Daddy (pronounced Da-day!). All in all it has been quite a month and we're really looking forward to Drew's visit next week from Iraq. I will also be home full time with Shelby starting in August. I will still be working through the end of August (I was extended on my layoff), but then will be a full time stay at home Mom......and I CANNOT WAIT!
Granny reading Shelby & Mason a book.
Grandpa getting some quality time.
Oh yes, more cake Granny!!
Hmmm, me like cake Grandpa! 
Mommy's little helper...well sort of. At least it wasn't folded before she tossed it to the floor.
Check out my suit!
Jaylee, you hit that button to make it beep. 
So Uncle Russ, let me tell you about that water....it was cold!
Our best attempt at getting these 3 in a picture....it was easier when they just sat still!
This is a new expression this week....pierces her lips - it's hilarious!
