Seriously Behind!


So this post will be a little long because I have a lot to catch up on! Gabe is doing great- he is starting to talk more and more and I seem to be the only one that can decode what he is really saying! Dr. Rose wants us to get him into some speech therapy so we are working on that! Shelby is growing so fast! We had one of my friends take some pics of them they are so cute. These are some of the negatives- just wait until you see the ones that she touched up- they are awesome! ( they are coming soon!) She loves playing with her legs and putting her fingers in her mouth!
Shelby is 4 months old right now- she is 25 inches long (75%0 and 13 lbs. 4 oz. (50%). She is slowing down a little but just to look at her she looks huge to me!
He is so sweet- he has one of the happiest smiles and laughs- I just love him!
He is such an awesome big brother- he tries to help me with Shelby all of the time. He wipes her face when she is drooling, puts her pacifier in when she is crying, plays with her and makes her laugh- they really are cute together! Shelby really responds to him!

It is amazing to me how fast time is going- I really can't believe that I have two kids right now! We still are having a rough time finding something that Shelby will eat- but I picked up this formula randomly at the store the other day and so far so good! She just screams and screams and fights eating. Usually she wears herself out crying and then she will eat- it is really sad! We are lucky enough to get into the specialist tomorrow- thank goodness- I am afraid that I will be bald and in the crazy farm soon!
We had a great 4th of July- I started the day with my first 5k- my time stunk- but hopefully the next one will be better- running has kind of helped me keep some of my sanity! Plus I am hoping that I can lose some weight as well!


This little turkey was quite fussy- after the BBQ at my parents house(which I love- especially the homemade peach and chocolate ice cream-way delicious!) I ended up taking her home before DHS fireworks- it had been a long day!

Here is Gabe waiting for the parade to start! We love going to the Kaysville parade and the water fight- Jon brings two huge containers of water to aid all the guys in their quest of soaking any dry person they see!

I have a lot more to blog about- but it will have to wait until after this weekend! Sorry to be so far behind- but I am catching up!

The pictures of Gabe and Shelby are darling! Ashley did a great job. I love how you dressed them for the pictures...so dare cute! Way to run the 5k! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do that. The more I try and exercise, the more I decide I hate it. I sure hope the specialist can help little Shelby with her eating. Poor little thing. I'm thinking of you guys.

First of all your time on your 5k did not stink. You did awesome!! Just think, it was your first 5k, and how much had you really trained before running it. Those pictures of the kids are so cute. I cannot believe how big little Shelby is getting. That one picture of her laying on her back...her little chubby legs are so cute. I am glad to see that you are catching up on the blogging. Can't wait to see the rest.

Thanks for the update! Your kids are so cute and they are growing so fast! Good luck with running, I've been trying to get into it but it's easier said than done. Good luck!
