Catepillar Pics

I actually had to work 3 days in a row this weekend (Fri., Sat., and Sun.) It actually wasn't too bad, and I slept pretty good at night. I was pretty tired when I got home last night. Shelby did well for her daddy and Grandma Jennings. Grandpa and Nana Johnson came over for a visit on Sat. night. They had not seen Shelby since her Baptism and could not believe how much she had grown. I finally took some more catepillar pics. Here is her first pic at about 1 month and her new pic from last week, just over 3 months. I think she's grown just a little bit. She's very busy these days just laughing and kicking. She makes her cooing noises and smiles a lot.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Being a working mommy is wearing me out. I worked on Fri. and Sat., but was off on Sunday, thanks to Tara. She took the day off on Mon. to watch Shelby while I worked, just so I could spend my first Mother's Day with my baby girl. We had a great first Mother's Day together. We got up and went to church, and then had brunch at John and Sharon's. Then went home, took a nap and vegged out all day. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I certainly enjoyed it. I got a new CD from Scotty and a Willow Tree Mother-Daughter treasure box from Shelby. I can't believe the cool weather though. We dressed Shelby in a jogging suit that day so she would stay warm. All-in-all, I enjoyed my new holiday!!

Happy Anniversary!!

Yes, yesterday was our 1 year anniversary. That's hard to believe. A lot has happened in the last year. Last night, the two of us went to dinner at Kitaro's Japanese steakhouse. We then went to Timbercreek Grill and had a drink while we were waiting on the movies. We went and saw Made of Honor, perfect for a wedding anniversary. It was a cute movie. Shelby hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Jennings last night. She was a very good girl!!

And if you didn't know, last Sun. was my first day back to work. I worked 7am to 7pm. I had a good day. I felt a little off and out of place first thing in the morning, but I was back in the swing of things by the afternoon. It was just weird being there in the daytime hours after working nights for 2 years!!! Hopefully, my 2nd day will go just as well.

Shelby's Baptism

Shelby got baptized on Sun. April 27 at Messiah, where Scotty and I got married. It was wonderful and she looked beautiful in her dress. My friend Tara, and Scotty's brother Brian were named the godparents. She did well at the baptism in front of the whole congregation, until they poured the holy water over her head. She wasn't too fond of that and let everyone know.

After the baptism, everyone came out to the house and we had a barbeque. It was nice to spend the day with our family and friends who could be there. We missed those who could not, but understand. Here are a couple of family photos we snuck in while everyone was dressed in their Sunday best!!!

Who's chair is this anyway?

When we went to Arkansas last weekend, Shelby tried this new bouncy seat from my brother and sister in-law. She loved it, so we brought it home. Milo seems to really like the seat too. I didn't try the vibrations while Milo was in the seat. I guess this new seat is a hit all the way around!!

Hi Fred Bird!!!

Tara gave Shelby this Fred bird a week or so ago, so I thought I would dress her up and show a little Cardinal spirit. This is her at 8 and 1/2 weeks and included is a pic of her in the same outfit at 1 week. This was definitely the last time she had on her baseball outfit. When we went to the doctor on April 10, Shelby weighed 10 lbs 12 oz and is now a whopping 20 1/2 in long. She has really grown from her 5 lbs 13 oz and 18 in. I've tried to talk her into slowing down, but she is already not listening to her mother!!!

I'm a big girl!!!

We finished Shelby's room yesterday. My step-mom came over and we worked on getting her room organized and put together. While we did that, we layed her down in her crib for the first time and she took a 2 hour nap. She did so well, that last night, she slept in her crib instead of in mommy's room. I was a little sad, but I know she slept much better in her bed than she did in the bassinet. Now the bassinet has become a changing table in her room. I am so excited to have her room complete!!!
