Shatto Family: Almost September...

Where has summer gone and how are my kids growing up so quickly!?!? I think summer did take a temporary break to give us a few days of fall this week and I've been in awe of all the new things each child is learning! So that I don't forget :), here's a quick update and pictures (because McLleyton is looking so grown up!!!)

Shaelyn...learning her lowercase letters, GOLF :)- with her daddy (thanks to Uncle Trey who got McLleyton his 1st clubs- he's very good at sharing :)- and Shae LOVES it!! Drawing- she's all about drawing on blank paper right now - especially into rainbows and houses. Playing games- loves memory and bingo like games. Swimming- still can't get enough. Jump rope- attempting to learn, progress is slow (especially when you're four with size 1 shoes :). She's excited to start preschool next month!

Monreau...learning her colors, recognizing a few letters, has most of the alphabet down, and is pretty good with counting. It always amazes me how differently the 2nd learns and how hard she works to keep up with Shaelyn. They are now playing together really well and it's fun to see her imagination grow. She still gets out and now back in to her crib :). She LOVEs baby dolls, the doll house and playing "shopping"...and Diego. She is definitely my free spirit!

McLleyton...ROLLED OVER :) for the first time last night! He sounded pretty happy when I went to get him up this morning and he had rolled from his tummy to his back- I was so surprised. I called Matt to double check that he didn't roll him over before he went to the gym this morning. It may have been a fluke, we'll have to see. He'll be 3 months next week Wednesday. He is learning lots of new things- getting good with his hands, sucking on them all day long and attempting to pull toys into his mouth. He smiles all the time and is beginning to laugh. He is such a happy baby! His hair is coming in and he's definitely looking older! We are still enjoying the fact that he doesn't spit up :) this is such a blessing! He is also a great sleeper. He puts himself to sleep now without crying and is already attached to his little lovie- as soon as I give it to him he calms down and closes his eyes. At night he usually goes 8-10.5 hours! He is really starting to like Shaelyn and will now smile and talk to her- which makes her day! I think that he looks a lot like Shaelyn did as a baby. I'm in love with all his dimples and chub!
