Shelby's Birthday

Our little Shelby had her 1st birthday recently. Due to the holidays we just had a little itty bitty party (with my sister who is staying with us) to celebrate. She LOVED the cake. I thought it turned out pretty good. I made it a polar bear because she often crawls on her hands and feet, making her look like the animal. Although lately she is taking some serious first steps.
Here are some things I/we love about her:
She is so smiley, and is usually a pretty happy baby.
She loves her family and loves to interact with her siblings

She is also really good at playing by herself. I can leave her in the playroom for 30 minutes or so at a time and she will entertain herself with all the toys.

She is so beautiful. With her long dark hair and big eyes, I just want to eat her.
Some other “stuff” that is not my favorite:
She is so squirmy and hates getting changed/dressed, and does her best to thwart our efforts.
She is kind of a picky eater. She has her favorites and doesn’t allow much else to pass her lips.
She is such a little treasure

(She recently took a very large tumble down the stairs. You can't see it but she has a HUGE goose egg on her forehead under her bangs. We took her to the ER and she had a CAT scan but she was just fine.)
