3/4 of a year.

Today is Shelby’s 9month birthday.  My goodness has she changed a ton in the past month.  Speaking of a ton, she is still a solid little chunk.  My friend, Karen, picked her up while in her carseat today and I warned her before doing so that she was suuuppperrr heavy.  Guess she didn’t believe me because she nearly through her back out!  (just kidding)

Sweet little Shelby Jane is the lady of the house nowadays.  I find myself giving in to her antics more than I should.  Usually Morgan will say Shelby did this and Shelby did that and I just smile and say, “be nice to your sister.”  Someday I will have to scold my little peanut, but not quite yet.

….except when changing her diaper.  She is SO strong and wiggles SO much.  Kick, wiggle, sit-up; it is a never ending battle.  Finally today I said, “No Shelby.”  She paused just long enough for me to get the diaper on.  Oh boy!

Continuing on…Shelby is a very energetic little girl.  She is crawling everywhere and enjoys getting into everything.  I call her my little destructo because she can make quite the mess…you see?

And that was just this afternoon!!

Shelby is really funny though.  Her noises, coos, screams and piranha smile just crack me up!

Usually she is happy, unless you leave her alone for more than 20 minutes.  By then she needs some adult attention…although she sits and plays with Morgan more and more every day.

This was all them as I was washing the dishes.  Shelby must have crawled over to the toy table and Morgan wanted in on the action (big surprise).

We love you little Shelby.  I cannot believe in a few months I will be done nursing (WOOO HOOOOO).  Sorry moms-in-love-with-breastfeeding, this heifer wants her teats back!

Happy 9 Months Shelby!
