Big Sister!

Shayna's like her mommy in more than just her looks and attitude! She's going to be a big sister too! We're having another baby in February of next year. We're excited and so is Shayna - despite the look on her face in this picture and the fact that she has no clue what's comin'. Ha! :)

Look-Alike?

So, Kecia and Nicole both commented on how much Shayna looks like I did when I was little. I didn't think the picture of her eating breakfast really looked all that much like me, but I came across a photo of me when I was about three or four and I think that look must be the one Nicole and Kecia were remembering. I added another photo of me that I think looks a lot like Shayna does now. There are actually a lot of photos of me that look like Shayna. It's weird!!! But cool. I like having a little "mini-me" running around! :)

Little Copy-Cat

I guess I'm a bit of a clean freak. I don't think I'm THAT bad, but I've heard I am. So, I guess it's true that children mimic what they see. I started cleaning the wall behind Shayna's high chair and when I set the rag down, Shayna grabbed it and started cleaning too. I had to go get my own rag so we could work together. I catch her walking around "organizing" anything she can get her hands on. Of course, it's the opposite of what I call organizing, but it's pretty cute anyway. She does however, have the hang of what trash is and knows to throw it away in the garbage can. I haven't caught her throwing any non-trash items away (yet...).

Eating all by herself?!


I woke up to this cute little scene this morning. Brad got up early with her before getting ready for work. He said she wouldn't eat the yogurt until he gave her the spoon so she could feed it to herself. So stinkin' cute!
