Casey graduated from college! Yay! He is now on the job hunt and spending lots of time with his music. I'm really glad he has this time to focus on his songs while looking for a job. He has found a lot of possibilities, so now we are just waiting for the phone to ring. Looking for a job I think is the most not-fun thing a person can do and one of the most stressful. I remember how happy I was after I graduated when I got my job at East Shore. I loved it there and I loved working for Footnote. You just have to hope and pray you'll find a place you enjoy going to each day.
Shelby is getting so big and has so much personality. She has 2 teeth now and will hopefully get some more soon since she hasn't been sleeping very good at all. One night I was literally up from 1 to 6 am. She would just scream if you put her down even if you were laying next to her. We have found a concoction of things we're doing that are finally getting at least a few hours of sleep in a row, but it's hard. Teething is in some ways more difficult than when she was a new born because as a new born she woke up, ate, and went right back to sleep. Luckily, I have a great partner who can help out, and I know she won't teethe forever. Shelby say 3 words now as well. Dada, Momma, and Baba (which is for bottle). She said Dada first and it was so cute I wanted her to say Momma. Now all I hear all day long is Momma, Momma, Momma. It's so funny because she knows if she starts calling I'll come for her. She's too darn smart. Shelby also wants to crawl so bad. She is almost scooting and she can roll around like crazy, but she can't quite get the crawl down. I'm sure soon enough she'll figure it out. She really is so fun and I can't believe how much she's learned and grown in the last 7 1/2 months.
As for me I'm a bit busy with our little family. Nothing too new to report except that I finally finished this present for my mom I've been working on for over a year. I wanted to make her something for when Shelby was born, and then that got pushed to a Christmas present, and now I got it done 3 days after Mother's Day. Finally! I just appreciate my mom so much. She puts so much time and energy into all of her kids and grandkids. She'll listen to my endless jabbering about everything, and she's always there to do whatever it is I need her for. Being a mom has certainly made me appreciate my mom a thousand times more than before.
Well I'll leave you with some hilarious photos of our crazy and wonderful life!

She has the sweetest little face. Teething is so hard! It sometimes seems like it will never end. Hang in there. She's a doll!
