Thanksgiving

Sorry but I don't have any pictures to post from Thanksgiving! We had a great Thanksgiving and I completely forgot to pull out my carmera. I promise I will have Christmas pictures.

Thanksgiving was great. Josh, Shelby and I drove to Norfolk to see my parents, Aunt Maryann, Ella, Uncle Joe and Great Aunt Jose. Ella was super talkative and entertaining. We had a delicious dinner. After dinner, to give Nana and Papa some peace to clear the dinner. Josh, Uncle Joe, Aunt Marya, Ella, Shelby and I went for a walk. It was a perfect day for a walk and calmed the girls down.

Josh and Shelby took a nap for awhile. After some tasty dessert we headed back to New Hampshire. Thank you Nana and Papa Wallace for a great dinner. I swear I will help more next year!!

Here's a picture. It is not from Thanksgiving but it's a cute one.

She's a Cheerio Girl

Shelby loves Cheerios! She has been trying out some finger foods. So far she will only eat snack foods like dry cereal, yogurt melts and baby cheese curls. Her favorite is Cheerios. Sprinkling a bunch of Cheerios on Shelby tray allows me some time to eat my lunch or take a couple of sips of coffee. It has also helped her develop her pincher grasp. At first she could hardly pick up a cheerio now we are telling her to slow down and only eat one at a time. We have tried giving Shelby toast, real fruit bits, peas and some other things. She either won't open her mouth to try it or throws it off the tray. We will keep trying but it is mainly just Cheerios for now.

Check out Shelby's teeth! Her two front, bottom teeth are in. Now it looks like an upper incisor is coming in.

Weekend Away

This past weekend was a weekend away for the Ledbetter's. Josh went away to Vermont to hunt for the weekend and Shelby and I went to Massachusetts. We had a girls night with Nana Wallace, Aunt Maryann and Ella. It was tough getting a picture of Shelby and Ella. Either we couldn't get them to both look at the camera or Ella was escaping. Kaliey, Ella's friend and neighbor, entertained the girls and posed for some pictures with them.

Saturday we had dinner with Nana and Papa Wallace, Aunt Maryann and Ella, and Uncle Joe. Shelby loved all the attention and unlimited cereal puffs. It was fun watching Shelby and Ella interact. Ella sent Shelby home with a doll stroller. It is already getting Shelby scooting across the floor.
