5 months old

Shell Bell is 5 months old today! She is getting big! Still little though I think. We are headed to the Dr tomorrow morning because she has had some nasty congestion for almost 3 months now and isn't sleeping. He said if he doesn't find anything wrong with her he's sending her to a specialist. Oh yay....

As for the last post with the two pictures........The baby picture is my SISTER!!! So ironic. Her babygirl looks exactly like me as a baby. My baby looks like her? Maybe Heavenly Father switched something around up there? OOPS!! lol

I'll blog more about Shellie next week. I'm not supposed to be using the computer this week.

Shell Bells

Now who thinks these two pictures look incredibly alike??


NO really I totally want responses to this post!

Shellie is 4 Months Old!!

Well this summer went by crazy fast as most of you know! We had tons of fun and lots of driving adventures!

We camping in Logan, Well Devin camped I slept in the truck with the babies cuz the wind was freaking me out in the tent. We skiied a lot and got to eat at some yummy places. We also got to camp in Bear Lake this past weekend and we rented a Sea Doo. It was fun but I don't think we'll be renting one again. It wasn't worth the money. But it was fun to be out camping and have water and bathrooms and electricity in the trailer. We had fun. We also got to go to the fair here back in August. Devin went several days and I went on the day that it was buy one get one in free. I couldn't spend the money on the fair after deciding to get my couches finally. Anyway seems like we didn't do much but we haven't been home in forever it feels like and when we were home we were doing garage sales. SO MUCH FUN! Not!

Shellie is 4 months today! She is such a beautiful baby girl! She is now 13 lbs 2 oz which isn't too big and 25 1/2 inches long which is ginormous! Her head is pretty dang small to. Not even to the 4th percentile. But 92th percentile for her height! Insanely tall!! She is such a good baby when she wants to be. She's still not really sleeping through the night. I can't remember the last night I got more than 3-4 hours of sleep. If it's not Shell waking me up it's Em screaming bloody murder for who knows what reason. Ugh.

Shell loves to talk and say I love you and Hi lol. It's so funny how much she mimics our speech. Emry never did that. She loves to smile and laugh which sounds like a choking cough. Too cute. She is starting to lose her hair but it's still getting longer. She has big eyes and loves to watch everyone. Especially her brother. She will contort herself into the worst positions trying to watch him. This has made her roll of the couch, Barely caught her and she's rolled over on the ground a couple times now. She's not purposely doing it all the time yet so I'm not counting it. She loves to eat her hands and is now starting to hold and eat her toys. She only grabs for toys on her changing table though? It's not even a toy its the bag dispencer for dirty diapers?

She loves to kick me and grab my arms. Her nails grow like crazy and I always have big gashes on my tummy from her toes. she hates being on her tummy and she has the most amazing loudest girl scream we've ever heard. She breaks our heart every time she smiles. We Love Her!

What do you say to this daddy!

Baby #3

Here's an overall of what's been going on for a few months. Some are talked about in earlier posts and I just now have pictures for them.

Last week Devin got his vacation so we went to utah to have some fun. We went to Lagoon and Emry absolutely hated to ride any rides so we took him back to grandma and we went back. We had fun but we both agreed it's just not that much fun compared to the theme parks like disney. We also went to raging waters in salt lake which is now seven peaks. We had a ton of fun there. It was so nice to be in the water on such a hot day. Devin got fried!! It was funny to see.

We spent several days looking at vehicles. We have been looking for months, years really and we finally gave up on finding a good running, great shape used vehicle. We decided to just get the truck that we always knew we'd have to someday get. We found that there was such great rebates on the brand new ones that they were cheaper than getting a used older one! So we did it. We're really happy to have our truck and know that we have a 4x4 vehicle and that we never have to search for a truck again. Now we are looking for a cheap older vehicle. I think it's going to be a 2000 or newer honda accord.

I wonder why pictures so this? It's not sideways when it's on my computer??? Blessing picture

Family picture finally!

Shellie 2 Months

This past two months have been insane! From reunions to blessings to parties to just plain no sleep!
I have some random pictures on here today...

Emry giving sister kisses

Finally my diploma arrives! YAY!!

Ems and Shells. My beautiful babies

Shells in her(mine) blessing outfil I'm so happy it fit and was in such fantastic shape. She also wore her cousins shoes and SHOULD of had her great gramma's blanket but I forgot it in Wyoming. No worries, I cried for like 2 hours while driving to get Devin. I was devastated. Still am...

Shell Again

Baby girl smiling for the camera

So we had the blessing in Devin's parents ward up in Logan so that family could make it, though most still didn't come and I'm still mad about it. Especially since they were the ones trying to convince us to do it there. On top of that, we hit a deer in Logan canyon so now I have to pay to get it fixed. Oh in my MOM'S van so that double sucks. Ugh Im angry. 500 bucks down the drain. I will NEVER have a couch!!!

Ok so my complaining doesn't end there. Our bills so far with Shell's delivery is over $35,000!!!! It's insane what these people are trying to charge!! I think I'm on a life sucks binge right now.

Shell had her two month appt yesterday. She's is doing fantastic except that the DR found 2 black dots in her pupil. I can't find any info on this except that it is CANCER!! The dot's are signs that she has tumors in her eyes. I really hope this isn't the case. We find out on the 27th. Prayers people Prayers!!

Ok so on a happier note, Shell is BEAUTIFUL! She is such a great girl. She is now sleeping about 6-7 hours a night usually. I'm still having a hard time getting to sleep so I'm only averaging 3-4 hours. She has started to smile back at you. She loves when I sing to her and she'll mimick the mouth movements. I love it! She follows us around the room and her favorite place to be is in your arms or on her changing table??? She HATES to be in dirty diapers so we have to change her all the time immediately after any type of bathroom occurance. Her hair started to come in blonde at the roots but now the brand new hair thats like .5 cm long is dark so fingers crossed she has dark hair! She has finally started to accept binkys. I love binky babies. It's so cute.

She knows when she wants to go to sleep. She starts freaking out during her feeding and it's a good thing she can't move much because she'd have ripped my boob off during it. She likes to be wrapped up tight when she's in bed, but will soon have her arms stretched up high in the sky. She likes to look at the walls. Weird??? She loves car rides and trips out. She sleeps the whole time. She doesn't like to sleep much at home if it's not in your arms. So the 6-7 hours she's in your arms for half of it. Oh well. We're working on it. I think that's enough updates? Cant think of anything else. Sorry if you're still reading this, It's all for my memory.

Next week is Devin's vacation and we're headed to Utah to go to Lagoon and 7 Peaks and the zoo and probably the solomon center in ogden. We'll see how tired we are. Yay for a break finally!
