Too Busy at 14 Months!














My baby girl has blossomed into such a sweet toddler.  She has become such a busy girl.  She loves to spend her time playing and eating, she has developed quite the appetite.  She can eat an entire kids meal at Chick-Fil-A by herself.  She has also added may more words to her vocabulary such as, book, bath, brush, thank you, please, car, moo, quack, duck, roarrrrr,  a monkey sound, and many more.  She has continued to learn more signs as well.  She can sign car, thank you, bath and brush.  She is so smart, she gets it from her Mommy.  :)  She is now also weighing in at 20.8 lbs.  Which means she finally got to tun around in her car seat, yeah!!!  She loves facing forwards and it makes car rides much easier.  She also has REALLY gotten into watching television, especially her movie "God Makes Music."  It causes her to go into a trance and not move a muscle. 
                     


We had a very busy 14th month.  We started off by going to Ty Locklears birthday party.  Shelby had fun getting to see Sofie and all the other kiddos.  We also went and spent a week at Nana's, thinking Daddy would be working in League city, but unfortunately his scheduled changed.  We still stayed at Nana's house where he later joined us in the week to go to Schiltterbahn in Galveston.  Shelb's also got to meet my old friend Erin and her husband John who have been living in China for the last 2 years.  We met up with Erin at Incredible Pizza along with some of the other McLoxley girls and Jeff as well as Garrett and Drew.  Shelby had too much fun getting to ride some of the rides there.  We then went back home the next week with Daddy because I had to start work, unfortunately.    Thank goodness though, Shelby and  will be spending every other day together since I have dropped back to half time.  We also got to spend some time as a family and the three of us loaded up in the car and drove to Galveston to visit Moody Gardens and the beach.  Shelby and Chad had never been to Moody Gardens so we got to enjoy the Titanic exhibit as well as the Aquarium Pyramid.  She loved seeing all the different animals and fish as well as getting to pet a Sea Urchin and a Star fish.  Then after lunch we went down to the Sea Wall and she got to play in the sand and in the waves.  Her favorite thing was chasing the seagulls up and down the beach.
