Yesterday was Shelby's one month birthday! We had cupcakes this weekend to celebrate. She is starting to recognize our faces and focus in on objects more. Also, I think that she may have smiled at me a couple times this morning. :)

I eventually want to transition this blog to a family blog. Hopefully we'll be reporting more on the day-to-day happenings in the Kinnaird household, rather than medical and developmental updates on Shelby. In that spirit, we had a great 4th of July weekend (not counting Friday's trip to the ER). We had a huge barbecue on Saturday at Bea and Pete's house and Shelby got to meet a lot of family members for the first time. It was really fun relaxing, eating ribs, and playing yard games with friends and family.

This morning, Harding and I brought Shelby up to John and Barbara's house for the first time. She slept through most of it, of course. Harding got to "work" in his garden. He did inform MoMo (Barbara) that he did not want to dig for potatoes because they were dirty. He also ate basil, chives and raspberries while he was supposed to be helping her. He seems to be more adventurous while eating in the garden than he is at the table.
