It's November and Shea is now 1 year old! She had her first birthday October 29th and we went to Streamers (of course) to have an ice cream sundae. That Saturday we celebrated her birthday with a beatiful cake, ballons, and lots of family and friends! Everyone had a great time. Shea got to play on her new swingset that Aunt Kathy got for her, and then we had a pinata! All the kids got a swing at it, starting with the smallest right up to the biggest kid.

Shea is a pro at walking now and practically runs everywhere she wants to go. She is very quick at everything, especially getting into things that she's not supposed to. The other night I made fajitas for dinner. She came right up to the table and stuck her hand in the sour cream before I could stop her. It turns out that she really likes sour cream! She licked her fingers and said "mmmmmmm!". Shea says a few words now like "mama", "dada", "dog", "shoes", "up", and of course "uh-oh". She has a pretty big vocabulary! We can understand most of what she's trying to say like "that" or "what's this?". She's a pretty smart kid if I may say so! She loves to figure things out and put things togther. Maybe she'll be an engineer like her Aunt Kathy! lol
Dave and I are really enjoying being her parents, even when she throws her fits because she doesn't want to get dressed, or get her dipaer changed. She is such a joy and we are so glad to have her!
