A few of the things Chesney is doing

Chesney is sitting up on her own, with a few falls here and there. Mom is not too far away when she is sitting! The next pictures are of her arching her back, that is how she crawls, she go everywhere backwards. She is constantly doing it during diaper changes, getting dressed, in bed, everywhere. Hoping it is a stage she will grow out of. Her grandpa says that she has to be very strong to do it, he remembers having to do that in high school wrestling and said it was very hard. When she is not on her back we can sometimes get her on her belly but she usually buries her face and throws a fit. So for now she has giving up on rolling over and just arches her back. Ches turned 8 months old this past Sunday and I can't  believe it. It really is flying by, I find myself saying that alot!!

1st Easter

Look at that face!!!

Chesney is just amazing us everyday, she is developing such a little personality and it is so fun to watch. She loves to be entertained, which is all the time lately. She is such a busy little girl...can only imagine what she will be like when she starts crawling and can actually go where she wants. She will never stop. I love to shop for her, there are so many cute clothes it is dangerous. Problem is she does not like to get dressed. It takes both Matt and I to get her dressed after bath time she arches her back and screams the whole time. What's it gonna be like when I try to put pig tails in her hair??? We have started feeding her rice cereal here and there sometimes she is interested sometimes not. Here are a few pics...

My baby is growing up!

Chesney is getting so big. Well not size wise she is still pretty tiny, as I am sure most girls are. I am not sure of her weight we go to the doctor on Tuesday. I assume she is somewhere in the 13 pound range. She is rolling over like crazy she tries to get up on her knees but just gets angry and buries her face. I am fine with that cause I have a feeling once she gets going there will be no stopping her. She loves to walk around the house and see everything. She is so interested in looking at everything, she is very aware. I have got her to giggle a couple times, it is so cute. She is starting to sit up on her on, she does pretty good until she trys to reach for something. We are going on Tuesday for her last RSV shot and hopefully to get the go ahead and be able to take her around more people. I am having spring fever and can't wait to go to the park and for stroller walks. Mostly to just be outside, but we all know how Wyoming is and winter is still out ther lurking.

6 months old!

Chesney is growing so fast, I find myself saying that all the time!! We went for her six month checkup and the doc said she is doing so good. She weighed 12.5 pounds was 24" long and her head is 40 cm. She is on the scale for six months olds in her length and head, her weight is in the bottom 1/3 but that she is on the scale at all is good. She is rolling all over the place and starting to get up on her knees. Don't know that I am ready for her to start crawling? Hopefully we still have a little while! She tries to sit and can stay up if she is bent all the way over that belly of hers. We got her a bumbo and she seems to like it, for about 20 mins that is usually how long she lasts at doing anything. We only have one more RSV shot! I can't wait it is so hard to watch her go thru that every 28 days. But so worth it if it keeps her healthy! Counting down the days til summer, so ready to go for walks and sit outside!!

Happy Valentines Day

Well we made it back from southern utah, we enjoyed the couple days of sunshine and the couple days of rain. We even got to take Chesney for a walk in her stroller and she loved it actually fell asleep can't wait for summer in Wyo so we can get outside, getting a little stir crazy! We got Chesney her RSV shot on Tuesday, poor thing, it doesn't get any easier watching her get shots. She weighed 11 pounds 1 oz the doc said she is gaining weight good. While we were in St. Geore she was spoiled by everyone, she loves attention. She loves to look around and observe everything. She has started watching when you are eating she even opens her mouth. Too bad the poor thing doesn't get to eat for 4 more months. I know I am a mean mom but the doc said usually to wait til six months and with her being premature we needed to wait two months after that. And with everything we go thru with Matt's allergies it is not worth it to me. What she doesn't know she is missing out on won't hurt her right! :) Grammy bought Chesney a jumper play thing and although she is a little small for it still she loves to look at all the stuff on it and she actually jumps on phone books. Daisy is learning to not go near her after a couple times of getting a hand full of hair pulled out. But the dog is good and just looks at her and walks away after Ches attacks her. Chesney lost alot of hair on the top of her head and I was begining to think she was going to be a bald baby like I....but she has been getting new hair in and it is DARK. Guess we will just watch and see what color it turns out to be. But I can not wait to put in pony tails and curls. Mom said she hopes that Chesney fights me as much as I did her, but I am sure I will not be as mean as I remember that she was :)
