Not a whole lot has changed from last month, but without further ado here is what Miss Shelby is up to these days...
--You have your two bottom teeth! They didn't give you too much trouble at all, especially considering they came in pretty much simultaneously...not any notable fussiness or effect on your sleep, thank goodness! We've given you a bit of Orajel and/or Tylenol here & there, but you have handled it like a champ!
--babbling up a storm these days. You have a LOT to say! The /b/ sound is still your fave, but you can also make these consonant sounds: /d/, /g/, /y/, /n/, and /m/. You say "ma-ma-ma" a lot these days, which I love...but what I don't love so much is the fact that you only say it when are being whiny! Ha!
--still taking Prevacid for your acid reflux, but I am thrilled to say that spit-up is not an every day occurrence for us anymore. I never thought I would be able to say that.
--not moving around just yet. Shelby gets in push-up position and gets on all fours every now and again, but still not crawling. Or pulling up or rolling over for that matter. While we are very anxious for her to figure out how to start moving {because I know she gets frustrated sometimes that she can't}, we are trying to enjoy what's left of this "easy" phase where we can just plop her down on a blanket with toys and know she can't get into anything she's not supposed to.
--you are a total water baby! You love being in the pool with us, which is a good thing b/c we have been in the pool every.single.day since the first of July! Ha!
--still picky with baby food (although you are now eating squash in addition to fruit rice cereal any anything combined with bananas or sweet potatoes), but you will eat just about any kind of table food we give you! Now that you have two teefers and you are getting very proficient at "gumming" the food we give to you, I think we will be completely transitioning from pureed baby food to table food in the very near future. {Right now, I've just been getting her to eat a few bites of baby food before giving her table food. Whenever we go out to eat for dinner, she eats all table food.} You also l-o-v-e drinking out of our glasses.
--drinking four 8-oz bottles a day, and making no attempt whatsoever to hold said bottles! I don't know if it's b/c I nursed you for so long or if you're just lazy {I say that in the most loving way possible..ha!}, but you don't have any interest in holding the bottle on your own. But who can blame you when Mommy is there to do all the work for you?!
--we are still giving you water during the day in your sippy cup. You do attempt to hold your cup on your own, but you still like for Mommy to do it for you. :)
--only using your pacifier & wubbanub for naps & bedtime. There was a time when you wanted your paci all day, every day. You were so attached to it that I was afraid it might be going with you on your first day of Kindergarten. But you just decided one day that you weren't interested in your paci anymore when you're awake. We are so proud of you! When you are older, we plan to take the paci's away from you at nap/bedtime..but who knows, you might outgrow them on your own like you did this time!
--still able to put yourself to sleep for naps & bedtime...such a blessing!
--wearing a size 4 diaper and mostly 12 (although some of your 12 month stuff is now getting a bit snug) or 18 month clothes.

Sweet Shelby, you are the light of our lives! We love you so much!
