Excuses, Excuses

So apparently having a child is still no excuse to blog...So I'll just post some pictures of Chelsea... for each month since the last update of her (6 weeks)...



This is basically the first smile that we got on camera. (2 months)

So there is the basic life of Chelsea. At her 6 months appointment, she weighed 15lbs 14.9 oz and 26in. She is between the 45th-55th percentiles for both, so she's average and just perfect :). If you look at the progressive pictures, you'll notice the bump on her head growing. We have found out that it is a benign cyst (after an ultrasound and then an x-ray), and have to go see a specialist to find out what to do about it. It doesn't seem to bother her unless someone is poking at it. She seems to like most solids--sweet potatoes, bananas, green beans, peas, carrots, squash, but not peaches yet. Chelsea still sleeps all night (she will occasionally wake up at night, but it's still very rare--and we're not complaining!) Other than the doctor visits, everything is good here in Ohio. Jacob started his last year of his Masters program (Hurray!) and has a new calling...Seminary. That's right folks. Jacob is teaching Seminary. At our apartment, and there are only three girls in the class (that actually come, anyway). So he teaches them while Chelsea and Whitney sleep. Jacob has also had a paper accepted to be presented at the MMLA Conference in St Louis in November. He is very excited and we are so proud of him! Whitney is just working...that's about all. We're all still alive here in Ohio, despite the lack of life-changing updates!

Ok, Whitney, Chelsea is so darn cute!! I can't believe that she is sitting up at 6 months!! Wade first rolled over at 5 months and then rolled the other way soon after so he can roll and scoot around on his belly but not even close to sitting up on his own. Those pictures are great, isn't it amazing how fast they grow up, I still can't believe that her and Wade are already half way to a year.

She is adorable! I can't even decide on my favorite. I teally like the peach hat one and the six months today one. The campout one is funny because it looks like Chelsea is over the fire. I think she is really looks like some of your baby pictures, Whitney, especially the second to last one in the pink striped sleep sack. So cute! Keep the pictures coming!
