Blast From The Crazy Past: Surprise, Surpise

Since February is Shelby's Birth Month, I decided I better share this sweet post from when Shelby was around 9 months old:



So just when you think you know your kids so well, they up and surprise you.


I thought, well, hoped, that Shelby would take her time with walking and all that. I mean, she did take her time going from the army crawl to the out-and-out-crawl...so...I thought that I might have a break.


BUT....I don't think that is going to happen....sigh....why do the babies have to grow up so fast????


ANYWAY....back to what brought this subject up in the first place......


Shelby won't be 9 months for a couple more days. Regardless, in the past couple weeks, she has started pulling herself up to things. This means that the beds, coffee tables, shelves and anything under 2 feet tall is totally fair game to a young child of almost-nine-months! After learning how to stand in one place and totally thrash a coffee table, she moved on to walking around the furniture and destroying EVERYTHING within her little grasp!


SO....I mistakenly thought that this would be the end of new learning processes for a little while. You know...learn something new and then concentrate on perfecting that ability?? HAH! Not with my little fruitcake!


Yesterday I walked out of the office with Miss Shelby standing by the couch...when I walked back in the room...there she was....I watched her let go of the couch and slowly lower herself to the floor to pick up a toy! ACK! This means that she potentially could get those little piggies moving away from furniture any time soon! Sigh.....


What's a mother to do???


Here is Miss Shells at her first Birthday!
