Lazy Child

We were exhausted after such an exciting weekend. Ryan, Lucy McLean and Snoop took a nap together. Snoop is hilarious. Anytime LM is on one of our chests, he rests his noggin on her cutie patootie bottom. He doesn't want to miss a thing.


LM was so tired that she fell asleep during tummy time. Her oh so addicted father took about 500 pictures of her asleep. She gets her sleeping habits from me. My grandfather drove the same truck my entire life. No, I am not kidding.. MY ENTIRE LIFE! I remember the windows rattling and the entire truck jolting growing up. It didn't matter to me though. I could be in there 2 minutes and I was out cold.

When she finally woke up, she was cracking us up. She loves to be naked. She almost looks like she is smiling at Ryan here!

While our child is still in the laying around being precious stage, our friend's kids are in the stinkin' hilarious stage. Matt and Leslie Sloan are YL leaders in Asheville and were gracious enough to let me move in with them for a semester in college. They are so fun to be around and crack me up. They are exactly what a YL leader needs to be. So, as I was waisting away my day on the computer, blog stalking, I saw one of Leslie's newest posts. Asher, their 3 year old, is a spitting image of Matt and obviously has his personality too. Check out this You Tube video. There is a little glimpse of Lucy too, who appears as if she will be just as big of a ham as her big brother. HILARIOUS http://www.ashevillesloan.blogspot.com/

Lucy McLean's Baby Dedication

We had Lucy McLean dedicated at church yesterday. It was a lot of fun to hang out with family and friends. Thank you to everyone for pledging your love and support in raising her in a christian home. We love you all!

Date Night


Excuse the 500 posts in one night. I haven't had time to sit down and catch up on everything. Saturday night, Ryan and I went to a wedding while my parents and Grandma watched Lucy McLean. It felt weird to leave her, but I knew she was in good hands. I think she stayed in this position, on various chests, throughout the night. We had a good time dressing up and being together. We laughed because we seemed to get a phone call every five minutes on our way home. We thought we were the ones who were supposed to call worried! Thanks to the wonderful babysitters!!! We love you!

Is it so wrong...?

Ok, so I definitely broke the head to bow/flower proportion rule, but is this not too stinkin cute? Ryan wouldn't let her actually wear it out of the house, but I loved the 3 minutes she had it on. I have to admit, I think I lost 5 pounds laughing in those 3 minutes. I guess we will have to wait for her head to grow a little hugh?! ADORABLE (if I do say so myself)

#1 Coach

Friday, we went to another of my Daddy's ballgames. Here are a few pictures from my adventure. I am officially the team's baby mascot. Every time I go, it rains and I end up having to hang out in the dugout with adolescent hormones (and smells)!
This is me, wide eyed and raring to go!
So happy to be in Daddy's arms
Isn't he a handsome coach?
Aghhh... what is that smell in this dugout?!

Change of face!

Yay!!! After much trying and lots of help from the wonderful Laura DeLine, the Sheltons finally have an updated blog! I made this new header over a week ago and couldn't figure out how to post it. Thankfully, Laura was able to help me out! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

As for Lucy McLean, her face seems to be changing hourly! Here she is hanging out. The second picture was of her Daddy giving her a bath last night. He was such a good Daddy and had a date night with her, so that I could go to BUNCO. It felt weird to be out of the house without her. Tomorrow, Ryan and I are going on a date to a friend's wedding. My wonderful parents are coming up and babysitting while we are gone. Wish us luck that we can enjoy ourselves and not miss this cutie patootie face the whole time!
