Nothing really new and exciting going on in our lives. Shem is in his last week of school before finals start next week and then it is graduation on the 12th!! We are super excited. Well I am super excited. Shem says he has too much to do to think about graduation. I am so very proud of him for the wonderful accomplishment in his life. He has worked very hard and has had many sleepless nights and it has all paid off! Now to just find a job...
Shaylee is growing so fast! Hard to believe that she is 10 weeks old. She had her 2 month check up last week and that was a hard one! It is so hard to watch when they shots but she was very brave and only screamed for a few minutes. She now weighs 9 lbs 12 oz and is 22.5 inches (although I measured 23 inches the day before). We had our first experience of "oh what a cute boy" a few weeks ago when we went out to dinner and her daddy was not very happy with our waitress! I don't know how you can call a baby in all pink a boy but oh well. My mom and I made her some bows to stick in her hair to help distinguish the fact that she is a girl. She is starting to grab things and is putting her hand in her mouth if her pacifier is not currently in there. She does loves her pacifier! She thinks she needs it to go to sleep and when it comes out she is not happy. We are trying to help her learn that she can fall asleep on her own so it makes for a lot of crying at nap time. Unfortunately she has inherited my stubborn determined-ness and after 15 minutes of crying she is still at it. We hope that we can make that adjustment soon as she is going to her crib in 2 weeks and mommy and daddy will not be right there to hear her cry and put the pacifier back in her mouth as quickly as she'd like! She is also have trouble with her naps during the day. She will sleep anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes and be in a deep sleep but just wake up and start crying. This has been going on for a while now. Does anyone have any suggestions on that?? Here are some pictures of Shaylee's blessing day and her 1st Easter and some other random pictures. Enjoy!!
