4 Months Old

I haven't posted a blog in SO long! I have more than a few people begging for new pictures, so here they are!

A few days after we came back from vacation, I started back to work part time. I'm only working 4 days a week, and am able to work 2 days per week from home. So far it's been great. Chelsea was spending time with her Aunt Monica while I was working. On Monday, she starts at the day care. We went to visit yesterday and she seemed to like it a lot!

Last week we had Chelsea's 4 month appointment. She is doing great and growing so fast! At 4 months 1 week, she was 14 lbs 6 oz and 25 1/8 inches long.

On to the pictures now:

Here's Chelsea is in her bounce seat! She's a little small for it still, but loves feeling her feet touch down. She was able to make the music play a few times all by herself.




Happy Baby... Happy Mama :)



Playing with Rubber Ducky!



Tummy Time is getting better! She isn't able to push up on straight arms yet, but she's getting close.



Here's Chelsea and Daddy hanging out on Aunt April and Uncle Brian's porch...



Chelsea loves standing up...



Here are some pictures of Chelsea and Cousin Zachary!

Vacation Pictures (and 2 videos!)

Here are some pictures from our vacation in New Jersey! We had a great time with Monica, Uncle Brian, Aunt Christine, and Christopher! The week went by way too fast. I've posted the rest of the pictures on my facebook, this is just a snapshot!












Here's a video of Chelsea having a ball at the beach in our little beach cabana! She's a little beach babe.



Here's Chelsea laughing! I'm sad that Stephen missed this, but I'm glad I was able to get it on video!

It's July already??

It's so hard to believe that it is July already! Next week, Chelsea and I are headed to the great state of New Jersey for some fun in the sun at Uncle Brian and Aunt Christine's house, and then when we get home the following week I start back to work. I'm only working part time though, so I'll still get to spend lots of time with my girl! Still, it's going to be really hard being away from her.

Here's Chelsea at another park playdate last week!





Here we are at Celtic Festival last weekend! We had a great time with our good friends Al and Maura. Of course we had to take pictures in front of the pirate ship! ARR!



Chelsea's first fireworks! She fell asleep during the actual show (with Grandma covering her ears.)




Here's Chelsea in our new "ring sling" that I bought for carrying her around. We are still learning how to use it!
