23 Months

This picture was almost impossible to take... I was sweating by the time we were done



OH Shelby.  One more post and then you will be 2.  I can't quite get my mind wrapped around that fact.  I hope that one day you will go out into the world fully prepared to do whatever profession you choose and fondly remember our home.  However, I would love nothing more than for you to be my tiny baby forever.  But, you're not 2 yet!  You are 23 months old!  And here's a list of what you are into these days:


  • Curious George.  All day.  Errrrr day.  You love some Curious George.  You will grab my face and say, "SHORGE!".  You bring me the remote and say, "SHORGE!".  I can't always let you watch him (because that would be all day) but I love when you ask!
  • You can say your "C's" with a "Cu" sound, but a lot of times you choose not to say it that way.  You say "too-tie" for "cookie".  I love it.
  • We are working on "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am".  You have a funny way of drawing out "ma'am".  It kind of sounds like "muuuuam".  You are pretty good at using it too.  You also say "pease" and "ta-too".
  • You also will apologize and say, "I so soyay" for "Sorry".  My heart pretty much stays in my throat all the time I love you so much and the sweet things you say and do.
  • We had your second Christmas as well during your 23rd month.  It was really fun to watch you this year.
  • You started saying, "oh sure!" all the time when your answer is yes.  At first, I thought you were saying a naughty phrase and I asked your daddy if he had said that around you!  Haha!  He hadn't and I figured out what you were saying.  Memommy says that mommy says "sure" all the time.
I am so proud of you and the new things you do each day.  You're my sweet girl!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2014

Christmas Eve was really special this year!  We got to spend it at our house!  It was really great to be home as a family unit.  We went to Christmas Eve service at Fellowship- what a blessing!  We made it through most of the service but then Shelby June thought it would be a good idea to go run around the lobby.  I was happy to oblige.  We made it back in time for the candles!  The Gilberts have always done appetizers on Christmas Eve so we came back home, carried on that tradition, and made those!  Grammie, Pops, Juli, and Cody all came over too!
Grammie and Pops!

Kisses from Pops!

We love our Ju Ju!

Pouring milk for Santa with the cookies we made

Maybe eating Santa's cookies just a little bit.

And drinking milk out of a cup like a big girl!


Reading the night before Christmas with Daddy!

Christmas presents!

Shelby had a hard time understanding that the pack-n-play and stroller were for the doll and not her!
She loves taking care of her baby!
