First Party!





Today Shannon attended her first "kids" birthday party for her 1 year old cousin Caleb. His cake looked bigger than him! He loved it and enjoyed opening gifts with his other "big kid" friends. By the time gifts were being opened, Shannon was taking her last bottle of the night and falling asleep in her dad's arms. She is very social though and has attended various other "adult" parties such as Grandma Jan's and mommy's birthday celebrations!

Fashionable




With the nice weather we had, Shannon showed off her fashion sense and got comfortable in her new capris! As you can see, they compliment her legs well and show off her adorable chubby feet! Since she was born in February, she hasn't had too many chances to go barefoot......I think she really likes it though!

Uncle Mike or Mom?



As is the case when babies are born, everyone is always discussing who the baby looks like. So far, Shannon seems to pretty much be taking after my side. Some people say she looks like I did when I was a baby, but Todd and I think she looks a lot like her Uncle Mike (my brother) did when he was a baby and even a little bit as he looks today. It depends on her expression. In the 2nd picture I thinks she resembles me, but in the 1st one she definitely looks like her uncle did!

Welcome to Shannon's Blog!


Hello family and friends! Now that Shannon has reached the 3 month mark, we thought we'd give her her own blog! She does have a lot of interesting things happening in her life like sleeping, pooping, and playing!

All kidding aside, my good friend, Courtney, has a blog for her 6 month old son and has done a wonderful job of documenting his growth and first milestones. I figured it would be a great way for us to share her with family and friends who don't get to see her often........ and of course, especially for her grandmas and grandpa! Also, for myself, I look forward to preserving those small moments in her life and to be able to look back on them and enjoy......

We don't want to be "in your face" with this, so you can bookmark her site and check for new posts as you wish. There will also be a place for comments at the end of each post. Hopefully I can stay somewhat organized and post regularly. You should also be able to click on the photos to view them in a larger size.
