Well, what a busy month we've had! Drew arrived home Nov. 2nd and how excited Shelby & I were to see him. The Customs line was really long, so it took about an hour for him to get through the gates, but when we saw him she RAN to him. It was so sweet. And then of course, she was ready to take off running around the airport some more....it was quite challenging keeping her entertained all that time while we had waited. We are so blessed Drew made it home safely and the Lord returned him to us - truly answered prayers. Shelby has been having a lot of fun with her Daddy, playing & laughing and just being plain silly. She loves it when he tosses her around on the couch, which I try not to watch as I get nervous she will fall. We also had Shelby's 15-month checkup last week and everything went great. She is 26 lb/1 oz and 32 3/8 inches in length. I cannot believe big she is getting! She has also been cutting eye teeth this past month, so she's up to 15 teeth now and we're watching for the next one to surface. She is big time into pushing things around....still loves to push the cart, but has also been finding other things to push such as her tricycle, the blocks bucket, drum and today she tried pushing her music chair! This past week Shelby also got her first skinned knee running down the sidewalk - I wouldn't have even known it if I had not seen the blood on her knee when she turned and faced me; she had not cried or anything, was just ready to keep running. So, she had her first bandaided boo-boo, the first of many I imagine. Here are some recent pictures below of our lil' munchkin and the mischief she gets in to.
Come on little bug, you're supposed to follow me. (cute camo t & skirt from Aunty Meena!!)
GET IN MY BELLY!!!!
Let's go shopping!
I'm sure Mom needs my help unloading this stuff from Target.
Me and Abby, just chillin' in da crib...literally. :)
Here we are, going for a stroll - Mom bought a double stroller so we can get outside for walks. It's really fun!!
Shelby & Daddy, right after he came through the gates.
Come on Abby, let's RACE!
Shelby's practicing riding her tricycle - she can go backwards easier than forwards right now, but she's working on it!
