Well another week of my little Shelby's life has passed, and what a fun crazy week we had. She turned 7 months on saturday and Shelby now has a roomie!!! Her cousin Callie and her are temporarily sharing a room. Uncle Josh, "Ishy", as well cousins Ansley and Callie all moved in while they are patiently waiting on their new home to be finished. So for now we are all nice and cozy and the girls get to enjoy living together. Shelby has had a blast with them being around. She loves to watch Ansley spin and get dizzy, she laughs SO hard. We video taped it, I will have to try and load it. Shelby has really gotten better about getting up on her hands and knees this week. She can do it and then she does the rock back and forth. She will be crawling all over before I know it. She also ate meats for the first time this week, as well as starting to drink from a sippy cup with water in it. She really does well holding her cup up. My little woman is just growing up WAY too fast!

THE BIG 3-0!
My perfect little Shelby Reese is now 30 weeks old. She amazes me every week with something new. This week she got to spend sometime with her Mommy as I had a 3 day weekend to celebrate MLK day. We spent saturday at a birthday party for Khloe Hinkle (her mom works with me) and then we ran around with my friend Melissa and her kids, Lucas- 2 and Ava- 3 months. On Sunday Daddy went and froze his tail off riding his bike with Josh and some friends to train for a race he has in February. Shelby and I spent some quality time together before Mimi and Popa as well as the rest of the Gorman crew came over for lunch. On Monday Shelby and I went with Melissa, Lucas and Ava again to the mall where we had 6 month pictures taken. They turned out so cute. Shelby is also continuing to love jumping in her chair that is suspended in the door way as well as trying to figure out this crawling thing. She tries to get up on her knees but ends up backing up. So for now she just scoots around the floor backwards and pivots. My final brag of this post is my baby girl learned her first sign language sign, more. She puts her hands together making the sign when she hears us say the word. She is not sure what it means but she had too much fun today signing it with her cousin Callie. What can I say, she is just gifted!

Adorable at 29 Weeks
My fabulous Shelby is 29 weeks today, man how time whizzes by. We had a fun week, on Friday I took Shelby to work with me. Her Daddy was so jealous. It was a work day, so my principal said it was okay for people to bring their kids so of course I took full advantage of the situation. We played around there for a while and then took an extended lunch to Mrs. Bushart's house where she played with her as well as Ms. Kelly and Leesa, she had too much fun.
We also had a busy weekend. Chad ran in the Aramco Houston Half Marathon as well as Jenny Purvis, but she ran the 5k. Shelby and I got up super early and went downtown with Chad to be spectators. It was cold and crowded but it was fun. Chad did really well for it being the first time for him to ever run that far. He ran 13 miles in 2 hours and 2 minutes, placing 2069 out of 17000 people. Shelby and I are very proud of him. She supported him by wearing her "Team Gorman" outfit. Her daddy also wore later in the day his Shelby Corbra t-shirt that he recieved for christmas, they looked too cute together. She looks too much like him.
She also started to really enjoy her baths these days. She was taking her bath last night and discovered how to splash. She would splash her hands and giggle and giggle. She giggled and played in her bath until her teeth were chattering as she splashed. She is so funny.

28 Weeks and Growing!
My Shelby Reese has turned 28 weeks today. She went to the doctor yesterday for her 6 month check up and we found out she is 16 lbs. 4 oz. and is 28 inches long. Her weight is in the 50th percentile and her height is in the 97th percentile!!! Goodness knows she did not get that from her Daddy's side of the family. We are still sadly fighting the same cold, but she is nice about it and even shared it with her Daddy. She also has another ear infection, but you would never know it because she is always so happy. She began eating lunch this past weekend, the girl sure loves her food. She will also try sometimes to copy the movement of your hand with hers when you wave to her, but she does it really slow and gets this real serious look on her face. It is the sweetest thing. She is also enjoying all of her new toys from Christmas and loves to stand up next to her leap frog table and play with it all. We normally have to hold onto her when she stands up, but she is getting better about holding herself up there.
We also celebrated Uncle Trey's 30th birthday this past weekend in College Station. Shelby enjoyed getting to play with Garrett, Aunt Kelli, Drew, and Nana. She also got to try out Garretts Jeep walker for the first time, she laughed and smiled and rolled all over the place. I think she was really surprised that she could move around the room in it.
