Shelby's First Haircut

Shelby got her first harcut today. Her hair was getting pretty shaggy so we wanted to go get it cleaned up a little. Shelby did great. She sat like a big girl on a booster seat in the chair. She was a little wiggly because she doesn't like people touching her hair but she did great. Her hair looks so cute. Here are a couple of pictures.

On the way home, just in her diaper. She didn't like the cape so she was pretty hairy by the end of the haircut.

I also got my first kiss from Shelby. She made the "mmm" sound like I do when I give her kisses and then put her mouth to mine. She forgot to close hers so it was a little slobbery! It was so cute. We were both giggling.

Beach Baby

We all went to Cape Cod for a few days. Nana and Papa Wallace rented a house in Orleans, MA for two weeks. Josh, Shelby and I stayed in Orleans from Wednesday through Saturday. We had a blast. It was so nice to get away. Aunt Maryann and Ella were also there. Shelby and Ella had fun playing at the cottage with the doll house Nana bought especially for the trip. They also loved playing with the water table outside on the deck. It was funny watching them play together. They play together really well and only had a handful of battles over toys! Here is Shelby modeling her new beachwear:

It took a little while for Shelby to get used to the beach but each day she liked it more and more. She loved to run as fast as she could along the water.

What a cutie! Here is Shelby struggling to carry around this heavy watercan full of sea water.

Shelby was non-stop at the beach. She would lose that energy quick. Here she is resting her head for a moment.

Here is a little video of Shelby in action at the beach.

We all had a great time and look forward to going back next year. It was so nice being at the beach and spending time with family. I think Shelby and Ella enjoyed spending more time together. When we were leaving to go home, Ella took Shelby's binky out of her mouth and gave her a big kiss on the lips. It was so sweeet and made Shelby giggle.
