18 Months for Miss Shelby


The end of February Miss Shelby turned sweet 18! We can’t believe our little girl is turning into a toddler right before our very eyes! She enjoyed her 18 month doc appt simply because she got NO pokes! She measured in being one tall tootsie at 34.5 inches!

She is a very happy girl overall, for the majority of the day she has a smile on her face.  She is full of energy and with all her might tries to keep up with her big brother Jett.

 She has mastered pointing to all her body parts including tricky ones like elbow, eyebrows, chin, etc.

She tries to jump off the ground with two feet, however that ends into her tumbling over. She has an obsession for drinks and would guzzle down apple juice and milk all day if I let her.

She is a picky eater but prefers bacon, olives, cheese, crackers, pizza, cereal, bread, broccoli, apples, and yogurt. She eats like a piggie and stuffs her cheeks like a chipmunk at mealtime.

She has an obsession with cleaning everything with wet wipes from her face to furniture. She has a passion for water, this includes bathtime, swimming in the pool, carrying around the squirt bottle and getting things wet, you name it!

She loves going “bye-bye” especially in dada’s “big truck!” She has a fetish for hats, hair clips and shoes! She loves wearing “pretty princess” skirts and spinning around.

She likes putting together tricky puzzles and brother always seems to help. Her smartness with using the ipad is insane and her all time fav thing to do is call Dada, Gramma T, and Joppy from my phone. I have taught her over and over not to but her sneakiness in giving them a ring can’t be stopped!  

She likes blowing bubbles and trying to pop each and everyone. She is a dancing queen and will boogey to any tune yet gungham style is still on the top of her list! She copycats Jett and is into cars and trains thanks to his multiple collections he has of each!

She will sit and listen to piles of books being read to her. She prefers Pinkalicious, Olivia and The Wheels on the Bus! She now takes one LONG afternoon nap.

She loves her toes being neatly polished and always picks "pretty pink!" She is a Condiment Queen…she licks the ketchup off her French fries, cream cheese off her bagel, and all the butter off her bread!

You won’t see her without a crayon or pen in her hand (sometimes both hands that is!) Her absolute most favorite activity is coloring…
in her coloring books, paper, ipad apps, or even on the table, walls, etc!  

She loves being outside, playing in the white snow, going on walks in her stroller, and finding nature “treasures” along the way. She is intrigued by people and is always waving Hi!” to random strangers!

 She can name several animals and their sounds and she adores dogs (woof-woofs) and horses (neigh-neighs) the best! She is tickled pink when we go feed the horsies carrots and apples by Gramma T’s!

 She insists on doing many things on her own and her own way so that makes it so there is never a dull moment in the Ross’ home!  

She showers us with hugs and kisses daily…we know deep down inside besides the sass she has she is made up of a whole lot of love! We treasure her so and enjoy watching Miss Shelby grow!
