Going Up

Shelby has mastered going up the stairs. Shelby used to try to go up stairs like an adult which we too difficult for her on such big steps. She figured out to put her hand on the step ahead of her and climbing up. She couldn't do it one day and the next day she was flying up the steps. Here is a brief video of her going up the steps. Now we have to make sure to put the gate up at the bottom of the steps or she will be climbing up them within seconds.

Labor Day - Apple Picking

Shelby, Josh and I headed out apple picking in Hampton Falls today. The farm had a small petting zoo so Shelby got to get up close with some goats, sheep and chickens. She wasn't afraid at all and enjoyed running around wild with the animals and other people. She also wanted to splash in the animals water bucket so we had to distract her from that. Well, Josh did! I stayed on the outside of the fence and tried to get some pictures. It is so hard to get pictures with her looking at the camera lately. She is just so interested in what she is doing and she moves so fast. Here are a couple of my attempts:

After the petting zoo, we did some apple picking. Shelby picked a couple apples and ran around the apple orchard.

Shelby had a nice time. We got some goodies at the farm for home and went home and had a nice long nap. It was a nice Labor Day!

Here are a couple of other pictures I got this week:
