6 Weeks Old

Shelby was 6 weeks on Friday and what a busy six weeks it has been. Shelby has really started to show her personality and it makes each day more fun. Shelby is very smiley and hardly ever fusses. You know when she fusses you are about to be burped or pooped on. She has gotten over her short case of colic and that is a blessing. Shelby's bed time, 9 times out of 10, is midnight. She is a night owl like her daddy. Shelby loves to take baths in her bath tub, play on her changing pad, eat, eat, eat, be kissed (she gives slobbery ones and then smiles), to dance, for you to sing to her, and she loves for her daddy to hold her (he has the touch). The only pacifier that Shelby will take is her A&M pacifier. We have tried many different kinds and shapes. We are brainwashing her early. Shelby hates most in this world covers. She kicks them off as soon as you put them on. We have to wrap her in her covers at night. You will hear her grunting on the baby monitor at night and most of the time she is working on getting her covers off. Sometimes you will go into her room and she will be out of her covers and at the end of the crib and the covers are still wrapped as if she is in them. I guess she is hot natured like her daddy. As for me, I realize that I took a lot for granted before Shelby arrived; things like going the bathroom, taking a shower, running to the grocery store, etc. Shelby has such an appetite that I have lost 31 lbs. Who needs a gym or a diet, just have a baby. Here are some more pictures!

Cheeks and chins.









Mom, stop with the pictures!

Shelby has such a long body that her long legs look short.

Shelby and her aggie paci. Is that a mini gig'em?
