It's been almost 3 weeks since Shiloh's first birthday, and I feel like I have so much to report!
I'm going to start this blog with pictures from our church's kids carnival for Halloween! Becuase I'm a beginning sewer, you can tell that Shiloh's costume is homemade. Overall, I was pretty happy with her costume though!
Prepare yourself because the rest of this blog post is full of silly Shiloh-isms and fun facts about her!
SHILOH FINALLY SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! Last night, I put her down at 7 and she didn't wake up until 5am! Of course, we are going to work on turning that 5 am to 7-8, but still it's a huge improvement! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much because she's only slept through the night one time so far. I am currently praying that it wasn't a case of exhaustion, but that it's a new habit!! Either case though, it's a step in the right direction!
On another fun note, Shiloh has developed a new hobby! When she was a few months younger I turned her hobby of pulling things out of drawers into a useful chore. That is how I get her to help me with the laundry. Well . . . she's developed another cleaning hobby, only this time she's actually somewhat aware of what she's doing!
The other week, she picked up a paper towel and started scrubbing the floor. She then wiped off the walls and continued trying to clean with it! I laughed so hard that she started giggling. I think my laughter has encouraged this clean behavior because she continues to LOVE trying to clean the house! Of course, I love it too!! Here's a video of her cleaning the floor! I think my favorite part of this video is the fact that she picks up a piece of dirt and places it in the paper towel, just like mom!
Shiloh now looks like a toddler as she toddles around the house! It's adorable! She also had her first pony tail the other day, which makes her look even more grown up!! Here's a picture!
Shiloh's walking is starting to turn into running. I knew when she started walking that it would only be a matter of time, but she's getting fast enough to make me pick up my pace a little! Here's a video of Shiloh playing with Daddy! She's having so much fun that she falls over :)
Shiloh loves to pretend to talk on the phone! Here's a short video of her pretending to talk on my phone! I would also like to add that at one years old, Shiloh can unlock an iphone and play songs on itunes.
Shiloh's always been so energetic that she's never really been a cuddler, which is why Marc and I love that she's learned how to hug! Her hugs are very special to us! Here's a video of Shiloh hugging Daddy!
