Pictures Of Chelsea

Some people have been requesting an update, or at least some pictures of our cute little girl, so here are some pictures to enjoy :)

Good girl, goes right for the chocolate. (8 months)

So now a little update. Chelsea is growing like crazy. We have her 9 month appointment on Friday, so maybe I'll post her stats :). No teeth yet, but she eats that baby food like a champ. Still generally sleeps great at night, but still isn't much of a napper. But that's ok. She loves to stand, and is getting so close to crawling. She started doing something like an army crawl today, so maybe soon. She can say Mama and Dada, and seems like she does it consciously. We left her with Grandma Melinda for 5 days while we went to St. Louis. We missed her like crazy, but it was a nice break. (Jacob was presenting a paper at the MMLA Conference.) With the semester winding down, Jacob is just trying to finish surviving his classes, on an average of 4 hours of sleep a night. Other than that, there isn't much going on. Oh, as far as Chelsea's cyst, we had to cancel her appointment, but she is now scheduled to have a cat scan on December 7. Hopefully we'll find some stuff out. It still doesn't bother her, unless you touch it or try and put a bow on her head, so even when wearing all pink, strangers still refer to her as a 'he'. Her hair is growing in, but slowly, and it's so light you can't see it very well. But life is pretty good here in Ohio, we're just chuggin' along.
