Weekly Update

Hi all. Here are a few more pictures of our kiddos. Maggie is doing great and is growing. She's wearing one of her preemie outfits in the pictures below and you can see that they fit her very well. Jacob is a busy body...always into something and usually making some kind of mess...but, we have a good time together.

New Pictures

Hi everyone. Below are some new pictures of the family. Things are going very well here. Maggie seems to be doing a little better at night and Brent has been very helpful by staying up with her some so I can sleep. Jacob is also doing well and often wants "baby hand"...which means he wants to hold Maggie. Jacob is also saying & learning new things daily. He can already recognize several letters from the alphabet and has surprised us by calling out letters from billboard signs while we are driving. He's our little smarty pants!

More of Maggie

Here are some more pictures of Maggie. She is a wonderful baby! Right now she is mostly sleeping, eating, and making diapers...what babies do best.

Jacob's 2nd Birthday Party

Well, it was last minute and low-key due to the arrival of Maggie, but we were able to celebrate Jacob turning 2 yesterday. He had a wonderful time eating his Elmo cake and opening lots of presents.

Introducing Margaret Linley

Margaret "Maggie" Linley Shelton was born on Wednesday, January 9th at 4:44 p.m. She weighed in at 5 lbs, 12 ounces and 19 inches long. We are very blessed!

Jacob and His Purses

This first picture shows me at 37-38 weeks pregnant...only a few more days to go! You'll also see Jacob's first adventure into my high heels and purses. He just went into my closet the other night and emerged looking like he was ready to head off to work. We had a good time watching him play with his purses and shoes. The last picture is of Jacob and Brent as we were heading out in the freezing cold to go visit family.
