Time Flies!

WOW!! Life has been moving pretty quickly lately. In just TWO days, Shiloh will be 10 months old!! She's learning so much daily that it is very exciting being her mama! Lately, she enjoys crawling under things (ie tables, chairs), banging against the wall, pushing buttons (turning the TV on and off, pushing the top of her toy train, etc), turning the light switch on and off, pulling up, babble constantly and trying to go from sitting to standing pushing from the ground! She's also said her 6th and 7th words, "Ohhh, wow!"

As far as life for me goes, I am officially employed part-time (VERY part-time, about 7-10 hours a week)! I'm a junior high cheerleading coach and I'm loving it! I feel like I'm getting to know the girls better, which is really exciting. Having the opportunity to pour into their lives not just as a cheerleading coach but as a sister in Christ is wonderful. Because Canyon Creek is a Christian school, we are able to work on memory verses and character qualities as well as cheerleading moves! I'm loving it!!

Shiloh woke up at 6:45 one morning last week. I thought that it would be cool outside so I decided to take Shiloh to the park. As it turns out, at 7 am it was 100 degrees already!! We headed home quickly, only after I got a picture of her!!

Last week, we had two cheerleading practices and team pictures!! I snapped a shot of Shiloh with some of my 7th graders. She's entirely too distracted by the pom poms but I still think this is a cute picture!

On Friday the 13 (ooooohh), Marc's mom Connie graduated with her Masters from North Texas!!! We all went to the ceremony and here is a picture of Master Connie with her grandaughter!

On Saturday Frank threw a graduation party for Connie!! I made two cakes, a yummy chocolate one and an Italian Cream Cake. Here are the pictures of that!

Shiloh is growing so much! She hit another growth spurt and I know this because she is able to pull things off of the kitchen table now. :) Her hair is also growing!! I tried to give her a pony tail, but it's NOT quite there yet. Here's a picture of my attempt. In this picture she's saying "Ohhh, wow!" thus the lack of smile.

Lastly, I brought my camera to cheerleading practice today!! I snapped a photo of Shiloh and Luke (the head coach Andrea's son)

Sleep training update: Yes, 16 days into it and Shiloh is STILL fighting her sleep!! Oh our energetic bundle of joy! She is improving (slowly) but it's still taking her about 30 minutes to fall asleep; however, the BIGGEST improvement comes from her ability to sleep through the night!!! She's sleeping 7-9 hours consistently!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!
