I've been taking note of things you did this month so that I could share them with you (and everyone else reading this blog). Some of you might find some of this monotonous and uninteresting, but these are little things that Sam and I enjoy so much currently and want to be reminded of them in the future when Shiloh is doing all kinds of other things.
1. You are SO chatty! We love hearing you talk! Sometimes it really sounds like you say "hi" and I wouldn't be surprised because I say this to you constantly. Because you are so chatty and because you are mine, I assume you are a genius. I also think the prenatal DHA/fish oil I took and Daddy's 4.0 combined made you extra brilliant. (I am kind of serious about that:)
2. Mommy rarely cuts your nails. But thankfully, this fact is the cause of something else we enjoy about you. As you struggle to fall asleep at times, you will scratch your hands on the sheets and it is funny to only hear that coming from your room at night. It's a cute sound, not scary:)
3. My absolute favorite is the way you eat now-very social! You will look up at me while you eat and flash me the biggest smile! Your smile is so sweet!!! I also enjoy watching your eyes roll into the back of your head as soon as you start eating like you are in milk heaven. Foodie from the start, just like your momma. Atta girl!
People ask us if we can see any personality coming out yet and we decided on a word to describe you: Spunky. Yes indeed you are. And we love it!
And guess what you started doing this week-not only are sleeping through the night and sleeping longer, but you fall asleep ALL BY YOURSELF and WITHOUT YOUR SWADDLE BLANKET! And all of this because your thumb is your new BFF. After a couple of weeks of trying, you were finally able to coordinate your thumb to your mouth perfectly. Trust me, we are not complaining about that!
Unfortunately, our computer got stolen a couple of days ago, so we are without pictures from the beginning of the month because I did not have them backed up:( But enjoy the following event's pictures starting from Oct. 19th to today. I still feel hopeful that our stuff will turn up again or that a Mac will fall out of the sky to replace the one that was taken:) Hey, you never know! If you are wondering how I am writing this blog, it is because now I get to have "computer time" at the public library-it's so fun!
Shiloh found her feet!
At the zoo again with momma and friends-look at that sly smile!
Too cute not to include.
This is a picture of a good, serving husband. Yes, he is cutting out felt leaves for a garland I made. Yes, he offered. Yes, he is amazing.
Cute footie pajamas! She can wear them now that she does not need her swaddle.
We got to meet cousin Ryder finally! Ryder was born 6 days after Shiloh.
We celebrated Uncle Frank's 30th Birthday this month-Here we are with all the Binkleys!
So, we get out of the car and this is what Shiloh has done to her head band. And this is not the only time for this to happen.
Shiloh attending her first baby party hosted by our midwives-they had a petting zoo.
A visit with Nani and Mimi-Shiloh was freaking out, but was calmed by the bumblebee song.
Going outside to spend time with God and daddy
Helping mommy with laundry
We celebrated Auntie Sheryl's golden birthday at Homestead Heritage
And the food was AMAZING!!!
The beginnings of finding her thumb
Trying out the bumbo more and more
Mom and dad got to enjoy some boba tea by themselves
We love boba!
We traveled to Bridgeport to attend the First Baptist BBQ. This is Shiloh and Nannie playing piano there.
Dressed up in our very homemade Halloween costume-dressed like her mermaid. She had pigtails, a shell bra, and a felt flipper. All of which fell off as soon as we got to our destination. But we tried!
I found my thumb!
And now our 4 month pictures. They are not so good this month because she was #1 Chatty
#2 Tired
#3 Cranky
#4 Mesmerized by daddy
For not having all our photos for the month, I think I managed to get a quite a few in there.
See you next month at our next computer time!
I mean I keep thinking that this blog can't get any better, and then it DOES. IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!! Best blog ever by the most beautiful blogger ever!! We love you Shiloh!
ReplyDeleteCourtney, you're a rock star! Love the updates on sweet, beautiful Shiloh! Sorry to hear about the computer, but computer time at the library sounds like a blast! :o) Shiloh is, no doubt, my most favorite niece! Hugs to all!
