Shaylah and "her" babies

Shaylah's best friend - Junie

feliz cumpleanos!

Shaylah attends a home based daycare where Spanish is the main language that is spoken. This video is part of her birthday song.

Dora sheets

Caelan has finally come to a point where he has outgrown his bassinet and needs his own crib. That means that Shaylah had to be moved to a twin bed so that the second crib could be moved into the babies' room. I was afraid she would resist the change, but she welcomed her new big girl bed without any issues. As long as it involves Dora, Shaylah will make any change necessary!

Two fingers!

Shaylah was so excited to be celebrating her birthday. We had the party a day early so that Grammy and Grampy could join the party. She told everyone we met that it was her birthday and that she was "two fingers". She could be heard saying "oh boy! oh boy! oh boy!" throughout all the excitement and she had a very hard time going to bed at the end of the evening. What a difference a year makes!
