I Love Me Some Belly Shots

After dinner and just about to get in my bath.

Oh, how I will never forget. In fifth grade I ran for treasurer. My parents came up with this great slogan for me to use on my poster.

“Don’t rub your belly, vote for Sheryl Shelley”

Rocco you’re lucky your name doesn’t rhyme with belly.

Salon Style Naturally

Yep, it just goes like this naturally.

Curls in the back
Sides forward
Bangs all over the place

Driving My Dad and Max

Took Max to the local school for some open run time. Rocco got to drive the car with Daddy in the drive way. Just a normal Saturday at the Milazzo's.

Sleep Books

Rocco has a wonderful collection of Dr. Seuss books. These books were his great uncle Mark Milazzo's and then passed to Jared. Now Rocco gets to read the same classic stories.

Are you my mother? Yes I am Rocco
Hop on Pop Yes, you can
The Bike Lesson In a few years
Put Me In The Zoo No you silly goose
Green Eggs and Ham Only on Sundays
Come Over To My House Did you ask me first
Snow Wear your jacket
Summer No swimming for a half hour after eating
The King, The Mice and The Cheese Mr. Tuckles is invited too
Ten Apples Up On Top Did you eat your fruit today?
Go Dog Go! Always be kind to animals
The Cat In The Hat Your first animal word "At"
The Big Honey Hunt You are my honey

Heart and Soul

In my heart I knew one day I would be a mother.
The moment was not rushed, nor did unexpected moments change the course.
The heart led us to the perfect soul.
In my heart is Rocco Jay Milazzo.

Cappachino Anyone?

Mr. Cappachino wants to have breakfast with you.

Always On My Mind

My grandma is always on my mind.

I'm A Big Boy Yeah

We turned Rocco's car seat around last weekend. I took him around the block for a test run so I could see what he thought of it. He was all smiles. You could tell he felt like a big boy.

You Know You're A Shelley When...

You wore handmade dresses made with love by your mom and your bangs were a little crooked also handmade with love by your mom.

Love you mom. xoxo

Advice For Rocco

Rebecca is a childhood friend of mine. We met at church and spent many years growing up together. I used to play at Rebecca’s house and an hour later we would be bored and walk to my house. Along the way we would stop at 7-11 to get little chocolate football candies for 3 cents. Then after a little bit at my house, we would get bored and try to find someone to drive us back to Rebecca’s which usually didn’t work and we would walk all the way back to Rebecca’s. It had to be a good 3 mile walk one way.

We spent many years at girls camp together. One time, we had just gotten back from a three day hike and all the girls ran to the shower to get clean. But no not us, we went straight to the mess hall for lunch. Photo attached.

It had been about 15 years since I had seen Rebecca and come to find out we both live off the same street in Campbell. I got her email address and we reconnected after many years. I was pregnant with Rocco when we first connected and she knighted Rocco a hat and brought over dinner for us. The Mormons taught her well we say.

Don't be mad at mommy for posting this.

Splish Splash I Was Taking A Bath

Watching Rocky splash around in the tub is a beautiful thing. He loves to play with his toys and splash water everywhere. He is starting to splash bigger and bigger and the water seems to end up all over me and not in the tub.

I love the way the water falls around him as I pour buckets of water over him to keep him warm during bath time.








This shot has Jared written all over it.

9 Months Old

Rocco is 9 months old today and I think he grew way to big the other night.

~ Does a little dance once he sits up, he is happy he is getting so big
~ Started to snort
~ Loves raviolis
~ Army crawls everywhere
~ Loves steering wheels/cars
~ Gets up on his knees
~ Weighs around 23 pounds
~ If both mom and dad are laying in the bed while is goes down he rolls back and forth to make sure we both get equal love
