Chelsea is growing up so fast! How is she already turning into this toddler. I love the age that she is right now. I want to freeze her in time right now.
Some bits and pieces about this girl:

more teeth are making their way through the gums: 7 visible + more that look to be poking [...]

I am finally getting around to creating a post about Chelsea’s 12th month — she’s ONE! She is still a really sweet baby and her personality is really starting to come out. Here are some points of interest:

she’s FINALLY consistently sleeping through the night. YAY!
she likes feeding herself finger food. And the foods [...]

A whole new perspective

So, Christmas has come and gone as has New Year’s Day (Happy Birthday Chelsea! more on that later) so now it’s time for all of those resolutions to be listed and followed or ignored. This year I am highly optimistic that I can follow them. My list is below and it’s been going well so [...]
