Witty Banter From An (Almost Grown) 7 Year Old

PhotobucketShelby is not even 8 yet and attitude spews from her like a Coca-Cola left in the car on a hot July day in Arkansas!  I'm not kidding, this girl can sure throw some serious "if looks could kill" glances and sigh as though she were about to go into cardiac arrest.  She's a work in progress to say the least.  I know this is something we really have to nip in the bud.  Yesterday as we were going to school I said something to her.  I honestly don't remember the topic of conversation, but I saw her roll her eyes.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me?"  I asked.

Thinking very quickly on her feet, she replied very sweetly: "No, of course not. I was looking at the ceiling."

Step Over the Kid if You Will...

My little Emily Grace is sure growing up fast. She was 15 months on the 2nd of December. It seems like the past year has just flown by. She went from rolling over to walking in the blink of an eye. She has developed quite a fascinating personality as well. She loves to give kisses. She is smitten with her big sister and big brother, sometimes. But, mostly he aggravates her and she loves to hit him. She is also a climber. For instance we have gifts under the Christmas tree and larger boxes around the outter edge. Yesterday she stood on a stack of gifts to reach parts of the tree that she have been untouched by her little hands. She had such a glow on her little face that it was priceless. I didn't have time to grab my camera because I was afraid that she would fall into the tree and we'd have a major disaster on our hands. I have a feeling that once she can reach the door handle I'll have to invest into one of those fancy-schmancy wireless security systems to keep her in the house!

I captured this photo last night as I made dinner. I guess since she's away from me all day when we get home in the afternoons she doesn't understand why I can't just sit around holding her. As I help Shelby with homework, she is usually either in my lap or crying to be there. When I prepare dinner, she's either holding on to my leg or doing just what you see in the picture...making a comfy bed at my feet! She loves her blankets and seems to have an infatuation with her coat as well. I love this baby girl. I cannot imagine our family ever being complete without her.

Reflections, I'll bet you can see yourself in those eyes!

Let me start out by saying THANK YOU to everyone who has sent me message and e-mails asking about my back. I am feeling much better now, and hopefully I will not have this happen again. I bought Emily a new car seat. I got her a seat that we can rear face for the next couple of months, until she turns a year old.

She is almost a year old!!! Where on earth has the time gone?!?! I just can't believe it. My baby girl is babbling all of the time now, and is starting to repeat simple phrases. Yesterday she let go of the chair and took two steps to the couch. It won't be long now and she'll be all over the place and then we're all in trouble! She's also getting some hair now. This makes mommy very happy as she will hardly keep the head wraps on her head anymore. She pulls them off usually before I can even get them on her head. Hopefully when she gets a little hair I can clip then on and maybe she will leave them in place, although I am not getting my hopes too high because I don't feel like she is going to care much for bows.

Daily I am reminded of just how much this little girl is following in the steps of her big brother. She's not afraid of anything and will not back down from anyone! If she wants something she will do her best to get it no matter who or what she has to climb, pinch, or poke to get it. In the photo she is trying to get the glass of sweet tea that you see in the bottom corner of the photo. She has learned to flash that million dollar smile, bat those eye lashes over those crystal blue eyes and shake her head yes as I am shaking mine no. I know it will only be a matter of time before she's dating, driving, and searching for the best acne treatment. But for now I am enjoying my baby girl while I still can.

Hey, where's my hair?!?!

Emily Grace had her 6 month check up today. She's growing and developing normally. She's developed what the doctor called "stranger anxiety" only most of the time this sort of anxiety occurs more often than not with family because they are usually fascinated with strangers. She cried when the nurse weighed her and then again when the doctor began his examination. She is normally overjoyed and full of smiles for them. The doctor was proud of this accomplishment. My sister in law does not share his pride for she is Emily's latest cause of anxiety.

As you can tell in the picture she's still searching for her hair. She weighs in at a whopping 16lbs 12oz. She's in the 75th percentile for her height but right in the middle on her weight. Her lungs are finally clear after a run in with RSV followed by bronchitis. So, we can put away the dehumidifier (hopefully until next winter). She got three immunization shots today and she handled it very well. She cried when the injections were going in and then gave the nurse the sad puppy dog face afterward, but otherwise she did very well.

My little peanut 3.0 is growing so quickly. It seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital!

***My FIL got the phone lines fixed at my house (THANK YOU, RAY!!!!) tonight by re-wiring the house. So, I'm back online now. Whew!!!***

Ohhh La La

I cannot wait for tomorrow!  Shelby, my five year old daughter and I have a morning planned at the spa!  We're going for manicures and pedicures.  My wonderful husband surprised me with gift certificates for the both of us and I am going to take her tomorrow morning.  Since I can hardly see my toes, much less reach them I think now is the perfect time to have a pedicure.  Shelby has never had one and since she starts Kindergarten on Monday, I think it'd be a perfect time for her to have her first one.  We will probably have hair cuts while we're there, but I have not scheduled those as of yet.  I am looking forward to some relaxation and some mommy/daughter time as well.  It should be great fun for the two of us and I won't have to worry about taking out travel medical insurance for this kind of fun.
