Shelby's 2 Years Old

Shelby is 2 years old now! I cannot believe how fast these 2 years have flown by. She has grown and changed so much and we have loved every minute of it. We celebrated Shelby's birthday with lots of friends and family at Bounce U in Bedford, NH. There were lots of bounce structures for the kids. The adults could go on them too. Shelby wasn't crazy about the bounce structures but she liked seeing the kids and running around. Madelyn didn't like the loudness of the place at all so between soothing Madelyn, chasing Shelby and catching up with friends and family we didn't take many pictures. The pictures aren't in the right order. Madelyn is waking up from a nap now so I need to post them quickly!

Here is Shelby and Madelyn trying out one of Shelby's gifts from Nana, some cute glasses:

Here is Shelby and Ella back at the house after the party. They got such a kick out of playing together. Here they are chasing each other around in their tutus, giggling the whole time.

Here is Shelby being shy when we were singing Happy Birthday to her. By the end of the song she was smiling and clapping.

Enjoying some pizza and goldfish after bouncing. Shelby was so excited that I think she only sat to eat a couple goldfish.

Shelby's Elmo cake:

Here is Shelby having some dinner after a little nap. She was exhausted after the party. Ella entertained her while she ate by knocking the life size Elmo balloon around.

Looking forward to another fun year with our sweetie pie, Shelby.

March 2011

Another month has flown by. We are so looking forward to the Spring and Summer so we can get out and get more fresh air. Shelby is turning 2 very soon and Madelyn is almost 4 months now.

Shelby has been playing with her kitchen alot and has really gotten into coloring. She loves her crayons. I have caught her coloring on the wall a couple of times already! Luckily they are washable crayons. She is now sitting at the table in a booster seat. No more high chair. I think she was really ready for it. She is really good in her booster seat and I think even eating better. She has been so good with Madelyn. Besides from stealing her binky sometimes, she is really sweet to her. She gives her kisses and plays with her feet. She also likes to lay on her play mat with her.

Madelyn is smiling and cooing now. Sometimes she can be really talkative. She is also grabbing for toys now. She loves jumping in the jumperoo. It is funny to see her bouncing. She loves to watch Shelby and Shelby likes how she can now get a reaction out of Madelyn. She still has her beautiful blue eyes. We hope they aren't going to change. Still wondering what color her hair is going to be. Sometimes it looks blonde, sometimes red and other times a light brown. It looks brown in most pictures.
