Up at 3 a.m.....

Well I am up...at 3 a.m....AGAIN! Shelby will NOT sleep through the night!!! I am so so SO exhausted!! I can not wait till the day arrives that I can finally get some rest. But, anyhow, I thought since I was up I'd fill everyone in on what's going on lately.

Shelby has decided that she LOVES the number 4. Anytime she eats she wants 4 fries, or 4 pieces of cheese, or 4 pancakes. She is getting so big and getting her own ideas about things, and it is so amazing to see! Yesterday, as I was fixing her hair before church, she said "Mom, I don't want you to fix my hair poofy." When I asked her why not, she said "Moooom, I don't want to look like a poodle!!" I busted out laughing. The things she says is SO cute!!

Miss Avery puts EVERYTHING in her mouth nowadays! I know all babies do, but Shelby had absolutely NOTHING on this girl! And, with a 3 year old running around it is hard to go around and pick up everything! Leah loves to put paper in her mouth...and if she sees anything white laying on the floor you KNOW where she's headed to.

I just realized last night that Leah is almost 8 months old (on the 7th!) I just now got used to saying 7 months old instead of 6!! And she has finally cut her first tooth!! YAY!! It is her right bottom one.

She's pulling up now and crawling in and out of different rooms and exploring the house. Sunday night Guy was in the bedroom and called me back there, so I went back there to see what he wanted. Of course, Leah started fussing and before we knew it she was in our room! She had followed me from the living room into the bedroom, and let me tell you that girl can book it when she wants to!! Here's a pic of my sweet baby pulling up for the first time!!!


And here is one of Leah in the bath!

We also bought a new couch last week! While me and the girls were at church last night, Guy went to Abilene to pick it up, and when he got it home I didn't think we'd be able to get it through the door! With a lot of pushing and turning we finally got it inside...and I LOVE IT! It is tan microfiber, and goes perfectly with our dark brown microfiber recliners. We gave our old couch to Grandaddy Bill. His couch had just about had it, and he was really glad to be getting rid of it I think!

Just gonna clean today and get things done around the house I imagine. I've gotta study 2 chapters in Gov't too. Needless to say...I will be counting down the hours until nap time!! I sure do hope Shelby will start sleeping through the night....and soon!
