Young Cheezy

For the longest time, it seemed, Shelby would only eat finger foods that were snacks like Cheerios, baby cheese puffs and yogurt melts. We try to have her eat little bits fruits and veggies but she won't eat it. Well, now she will eat cheese. She always refused it or acted disgusted when she did try it. I tried again and she loves it now. Check it out:

Look at her stuff the cheese in her mouth! She can't get it in fast enough!

Shelby is also walking from furniture and along the walls now. Will post a video once I am able to get a good one. It's hard to capture because I am trying to stay close in case she looses her balance.

Another New Car

Shelby has another new car for the spring. Can you tell we are itching for warmer weather! We are just playing with it inside for now since I am not a big fan of the cold outdoors. I keep telling Shelby to sit up straight when driving and keep both hands on the steering wheel. Does she listen? No!


Here is Shelby watching Daddy shovel the walkway.


That's it for now.

11 Months!

Can you believe it? Shelby is 11 months already!

Shelby has been taking steps. Not fully walking yet but it probably won't be long. She is getting more active by the day. Shelby loves to run around in her walker, walk laps around in the circlular gate in her play area or walk around the inside of her crib. She has been doing lots of practicing! Remember when I couldn't get her to smile for the camera? Now I can't even sneak a serious picture of Shelby! She is such a ham for the camera now.

Shelby is becoming a messy eater. Here she is after she cleaned her hands off in her hair!

Nana and Papa Gifford visited from Vermont. Shelby had great fun showing off her latest skills.

Practicing her fall!

Here is Shelby practicing her fall. This is all she wanted to do one night!
