New Style...

Look who got a new haircut!

Anniversary

Tuesday was our two-year wedding anniversary! It's so hard to believe how much has changed in such a short amount of time! We celebrated with a very yummy fillet. Shelby behaved herself and let us have a nice dinner. She was planted on my lap during the meal at eye level with the steak.....that Scott had to cut up since I was eating one-armed. Yes, how things have changed!

We didn't exchange presents. You might say Shelby is a gift in herself (Awwww.....) :). Our combined Christmas/Anniversary present was the fancy, new refrigerator. But, in case you were wondering, the traditional 2nd anniversary gift is cotton (the modern gift is china).

Smiley Shelby

Shelby is now smiling quite often! She likes her chin tickled and any of Dad's funny faces! Even in the evening (the fussiness witching hours), we can get a few smiles!

You can see her tricks, too!

Holidays

We had such a great Christmas and New Years! All the Benjamins and Lawrences were able to make it in for a couple days of holiday fun!

Jamie and Mike took over the kitchen and whipped up some great meals for 8! I felt bad that I didn't help more. But, I was awesome at finding the needed kitchen utensil!

New Year's Eve consisted of Scott, Mike, Dave, Nancy, and I...and, of course, Shelby! Nancy and Shelby turned in early. Scott and Mike played Wii. And, at 11, we watched CNN for the awkward Times Square coverage of Anderson Cooper and Kathie Griffin. Kathie was really excited to be with Anderson. Every time Kathie caught Anderson off guard (which was often), Anderson would giggle like a girl. It was hysterical!!

New Photos

Check out the latest pictures!  The facial expressions are fantastic.

Decorating

It took us a little longer than usual, but we got the tree up and decorated.   We only had a small altercation with the lights, but they gave in.   The tree has a great selection of ornaments with room for a few more - just in case.  

I ran another time lapse setup.  The camera was set to take a frame every minute and I added some royalty free music from iTunes.   iMovie and Aperture make this project a snap!

Bottle Feeding

For reasons unknown to us, Shelby is refusing to eat from a bottle now! She starts screaming or just plays with the nipple in her mouth. It takes Scott an hour to get her to drink 2 oz. The Pumpkin has six weeks to get her act together before she goes to day care!

She also seems to be quite comfortable on her changing table. So, Scott attempted to feed her on the changing table with moderate success! Who says you can't eat where you poo?
