Eight Months

Eight months old tomorrow! Wow, how time flies. This little girl is growing up so fast! She is starting to get up on her hands and knees more. She rocks back and forth, and a couple times now she has actually taken a few steps with her hands before splatting down on her tummy. Chelsea and mom spent the weekend in Bismarck for their ward conference. Chelsea was a good girl, and actually got to sleep in a big bed with Mommy for the first time! Of course, Chelsea was queen of the bed, starting out on the side, but ending up upside down smack in the middle by morning. Mommy didn't mind though.

One of Chelsea's favorite toys is this little paddle ball minus the paddle. The string is bouncy!

This was just tonight (Sunday). She looks like she was bored there for a minute, hehe!

Who's that beautiful baby?

Tidbits

As promised...

Chelsea thinks it is hilarious when Daddy puts the ring on his head and lets it drop. You can tell she's having a good time by all the screeches!

Daddy got some new work clothes. Chelsea liked playing with, or rather, IN the bag.

Here is Grandma and Grandpa Kelly with Aunties Jennifer and Elizabeth.
Peek-a-boo, Little One!

A New Year!

Hello and Happy 2008 to you all! I hope everyone's year has started out well. Ours is great so far! Rick enjoys his job very much. I am finally working part time, and I love every extra second I have at home with my family!

Chelsea is doing very well. She rolled over last night, though she didn't like being on her back any more than she liked being on her tummy.

She loves her new dollhouse that Grandma Kelly gave her. She loves chewing the dolls and furniture, but she's learned how to use the house itself to help her get into a standing position! She'd rather stand and walk than sit or lay down any day.

Her newest trick so far is sliding on her tummy feet first off the couch and landing on her feet. It's very cute. Backwards seems to be the easiest way to go. ;)

Coming soon: videos! (I'm out of time; it sounds like the little one is waking up.)

Christmas!

Chelsea's First Christmas

Chelsea's first Christmas was lots of fun! We got to celebrate with the Kellys on Christmas Eve. Chelsea got to meet Gavin, her second-cousin (that's the relation, not the number of cousins). He is the same age as Reed. Every year the kids get their pictures taken with a present in front of the tree. We felt silly in the last couple of years being grown adults and still holding a present in front of the tree. Now we finally have a new generation of kids to carry on the tradition!

It took Chelsea awhile to get into the fun of the gifts. It was a piece of packing tape that put her over the top! She finally started playing and enjoying herself once that tape came into play! She got a singing/dancing reindeer that she found lots of fun! Gavin got a kick out of it too, until it pushed him over!

Christmas day we spent at the Heit House. We don't have lots of pictures because our camera card filled up and our batteries died. Chelsea snoozed through most of the gift exchange (which took five hours and twelve minutes). Chris brought his girlfriend home for Christmas. Well, now she is more than a girlfriend. (I hope I can say this online...I'm pretty sure everyone knows...) She will be the newest Heit this spring! Yay! It was a great Christmas. I'm sorry it took so long to get this posted!
