Accessories

Shaylah has discovered accessories. Headbands and sunglasses are a favorite these days, but so are necklaces and bracelets. She is becoming such a big girl so quickly!

Winter Wonderland

Shaylah has become a big fan of the snow. We decided to take advantage of a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the dog park before the big storm hit.

New phrases

New phrases heard frequently from Shaylah:

"I love it!" - usually in reference to food.

"Momma's turn" - when trying to engage in a game of follow the leader.

"Watch Dora?" - which would happen all day, everyday if I let her.

"Oh, baby Ashlyn/Caelan" - said in an attempt to comfort either baby when they are crying. This is also accompanied by a kiss and a hug or a stroke on the head.

"Jump!" - a new skill she is learning and loves to practice.

"C" is for Caelan

Shaylah is becoming very interested in learning her letters. She knows the lletters that symbolize people she loves and will often give them to their respective people.

C - Caelan

A - Ashlyn

S - Shaylah

M - Mommy

D - Daddy

J - Jacky

G - Grandpa

H - Heather (although Heather lives in Nova Scotia, she made quite an impression on Shaylah during her visit here last fall. Shaylah still talks about her!)

T - Taylor (who will be visiting in a couple of weeks)

R - Rayanne (we are still working on this one)

Colors are also becoming a favorite naming game. She is consistent with blue, green, red, purple and pink. We are still working on yellow and orange.

Sick

Poor Shaylah woke up vomiting this morning. She went through 4 pairs of PJ's and several blankets and towels before it was even lunchtime. She spent most of the day snuggling with Daddy on the couch...but I think he needed to naps too. I think the hardest part about the day for her though was the fact that I wouldn't let her kiss her babies!
