Shelby's birthday was exceptionally fun this year. She understood what it meant, looked forward to the occasion and expressed joy and excitement all along the way. In addition to the pizza party at her school, we had dinner of her choice, cake and gifts at home. What did she pick for dinner? "Masagna" and garlic bread. I decided to save a few bucks and make a cake at home, but it was all the same to her. She was extra excited about her new scooter and her Baby Alive doll that eats and poops. When her baby's diaper is full, she says "Stinkarooooo," which has since become the new catch phrase in our house.
If I had to use a handful of words to describe my beautiful baby girl, I would say spunky, observant, engaged and joyful. With pregnancy and Sienna's arrival, I feel like Shelby really grew up quickly. I looked the other way for just a moment and then she became a big girl. In the past, I had the luxury of observing and cherishing every little milestone, but that has been tough for the last few months. One of Shelby's greatest qualities is her curiosity. EVERY time she hears something that she is not familiar with, she will ask either "What does that mean?" or "what you are guys talking about?" It's wonderful. Even more impressive, she will then try to apply what she learned.She is a big girl, but also so little. I love when she still says things like "mascusting" (instead of disgusting) "resposed to" (instead of supposed to) and "lellow."
Thanks for making me a mom Shelby. You are our sunshine girl and we love you to the moon and BACK!
