The Andersons: February 2011

So tomorrow is March, which makes me think, man its been a while since I posted some new pics of the girlie. She is doing much better these days and we are just waiting for this winter to be DONE. Sickness has just infiltrated our house all winter long. From colds, to strep, to ear infections to bronchitis. The only illness I think we escaped was the Flu!

Shaylen is 16 mo old! She is getting so big, and so smart! Well in our opinion she has been smart from day 1. She loves to color and play with stickers, run around on the front porch on sunny days, and empty the drawer full of plastic container covers. She has not started saying a whole lot yet, but makes a lot of noises and fluctuations in her voice very sincerely with high expectations of you understanding her. The thing that just baffles us, is that she completely seems to understand us and what we tell her to do. Sometimes I wonder if sign language helped with this.

We are continuously enjoying her as she gets older, and all that comes with her growing bigger and more independent. The one thing that is always a challenge is teething. She has been working on four molars for a month. We think they are all finally here, but they keep bothering her as they keep coming in more and more. She is getting better and better at climbing onto furniture which just petrifies me! and she finds things to help her like stools and her crate full of books. She likes to climb onto the dining chairs too! then proceed to the table, not good!

These are some fun pics from winter over January and February. This girlie loves to go sledding :)! though because of colds and stuff, we did not do it that often.

OH and she had her 15 mo appt and girlie is REALLY tall :) 32 inches and 23.3 lb's. She is in the 91st % for height and the 60th for weight. Tall and average is our little girl. We can see it in her clothes now that she has been wearing 24 mo clothes! She grows so fast.

OOO cool snow!
