Shem and Reilly Purnell: January 2013

I decided I better get pictures and a little update posted on Thanksgiving and Christmas before the big 1st birthday next month!!! Still can't believe she will be a year next month. Once we made it through those first few months time just flew by! So our Thanksgiving and Christmas were awesome! We stayed home for both and it was so nice to be home on Christmas morning for Shaylee's first one. Shaylee is doing awesome. I am happy to report that she finally doesn't cry during bath time! Fingers crossed that it stays like that. We have had 3 straight bath times without crying. It sure makes it a whole lot easier! She also got her first hair cut last week! She got an inch taken off the top and probably 1.5-2 inches off the bottom. And she still has a ton of hair! How many 10 month old babies get hair cuts and get that much taken off and still have a ton?! Shaylee also took her first steps on December 21st. The day she got a new cousin! And if I remember correctly wasn't that the day the world was suppose to end? So I guess in a way it did for us! Although she hasn't really been interested in walking all that much. That is until this past week. She has really stepped it up and it taking a lot more steps. Her preferred mode of transportation is still crawling (or being carried in mommy's arms!) but I am pretty sure by her birthday it will be walking. She also LOVES horsey rides on her daddy's back! If he is home you can be guaranteed that she is patting him on the back trying to get a ride around the house. And you can tell the minute she gets taken off. She will cry and cry! Her daddy has even started galloping with her on his back and she loves that! We also went out on the first snow fall and Shem made a little snowman for Shaylee. Such a good daddy! Sorry for the short post but enjoy the pictures!
