Dear Shelby

Dear Shelby,

You are growing up WAY too fast for mommy! I am listening to you talk right now upstairs in your crib and it is the cutest thing ever. You like to say “Mama” mostly and sometimes “Dada.” You are a total mama’s girl and I Love it! I just went and got you out of your rib and you were so happy to see me! I am holding you in my arms right now as you drink your baba. You drink it in 1.5 minutes….so fast! You have 6 teeth now and like eating beans, tortillas, bananas, chicken sticks, and yesterday an M&M for the first time. You had green drool and savored it in your mouth and all over your shirt. You are beautiful and sweet. You don’t let just anyone hold you, but you smile at everyone. You crawl FAST, and you stand up unassisted. You have taken one step and it made mommy cry! We pray together every night. Mommy always prays that you will grow up to be obedient, strong and healthy, know Jesus, and love others. I also pray for God to give me wisdom to  take care of you, precious little one. He entrusted us with you, but you still belong Him. I love you so much, Shelby Grace! Mommy thinks its cute when you stick the tip of your tongue out! You are so happy. mommy takes tons of  pics of you every day! Here are some from yesterday!
