baby photo shoot......I had only 3 pictures in who knows how long so I took a few so I'd at least have some

Is this not the most cutest thing ever! She looks like she's putting a curse on you but she's so happy!
Happy Family
Shellie started to officially crawl today! She's been doing a fantastic bear(military) crawl for a couple weeks now. I was thinking this morning about how sure I was that she'd be crawling by the time we go on vacation. But she wasn't yet and how sad I would be to get a call from grandma next week that she finally did her first crawl....but she did it today!
She also started taking steps last week while we're holding her hands. She wouldn't do anything before but now picks up her legs and steps.....yay more progress! She loves to stand up. If you try and make her sit down, she stiffs her legs and straight falls back and cries. It's funny so until she decides she's tired the girl will stand.
Another exciting note is she finally gained weight!!! She is now finally 16.3 pounds!!!! She lost a couple pounds when she was sick and finally gained more. She also finally grew in length and is now 27 inches long. That was a worry for the Dr, if she hadn't grown yet she was gonna have to go to primary for tests. BUT YAY NO TESTS!!!
Her hair is starting to get more and more crazy. It's super long on top and is in her eyes all the time so I have to sweep it across her forehead. My kids always look like old men! Emry had bald spot on top and long around the head. Too funny.
She is such a happy baby now and still had the worst, most highest pitch teradactyl scream you've ever heard. It hurts and im sure she'll break some glass soon! She still doesn't sleep as good as Ems but at least she sleeps now! she loves food and today started to try gold fish. She loved them and didn't choke. She ALMOST has a tooth cutting. I can feel a huge bump but nothing sharp yet so any day on that one. Good thing I'll probably have to stop nursing this next week. Don't think I want to spend the week pumping while we're in Vegas....
She loves cords. No matter what you do she will find cord to yank on and get in her mouth. Its funny but really annoying. I have built a living room fort barricade to keep her in and away from Emry's crumbs and mess and scary dangers like computers.
She loves her daddy so much and asks for him all day long. She gets so happy when he comes home. She likes to hit him in the face to get his nose. It's cute. If she's hungry though, no one will do till mommy gets her. She's very opinionated and lets you know exactly what she wants. She'll scream till she gets more of the food she wants. Very demanding. She loves people and will give anyone smiles, if she likes them.
She loves to keep mom running around, changing her direction away from getting into trouble or brother trampling her. She is trying to pull herself up on things and has started to choose who she wants, crawls to the feet and asks for ups or follows you wherever you go and crys when she can't see you anymore.
I love you baby girl, and I miss when you were a baby, but love that you're growing up into a beautiful personality.
