New post!!

We finally moved off base! Into an adorable house, with lots more room! I love it! I will add pictures as soon as I get things unpacked and cleaned! Here are some pictures of Malakai for now :P

I'm a slacker.

2009-07-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

I have totatlly been slacking on updating this thing. Well we are still in Utah, and I have NO idea when we will be back in North Carolina. It could be as soon as July 15th, or as late as sometime in August. I hate this waiting game called the military. Malakai is FINALLY walking. He is so smart and fun to watch. He loves to climb onto his little horse and just rock. He also likes to climb onto his little tricycle and ride it around the house. My mom, aunt, and I took a road trip to Washington to see some family and friends a few weeks ago. Malakai did AMAZING both on the way there and the way back. I was so proud of him, and he made the drive so much more relaxing. Other then that, not too much has been going on. Besides that we miss Tobi and can't wait for him to come back home. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

New tattoo!

2009-07-03T12:22:00.001-07:00

Yep, I got another one :) Now I want more!!

I have a 1 year old

2009-06-07T16:19:00.003-07:00

Malakai turned 1 yesterday, and I can't believe it! We celebrated with friends and family and had a fun party for him. Even though he was tired and grumpy the whole time. We just wish Tobi could have been here, we miss you Daddy!!

milk!

2009-05-22T15:37:00.000-07:00

I decided to try to start whole milk with Malakai, since his birthday is in 2 weeks. We gave him a sippy with it, and he loved it. Made a few funny faces at first, but then drank the rest. My only concern is him maybe being lactose intolerant. He has been on soy formula since he was a month old because the milk based formula made him projectile voimit. So cross your fingers he does well with the whole milk!

My baby can...

2009-05-18T17:13:00.001-07:00

Stand up all by himself!! He was sitting next to me on the floor tonight, and I was talking to Tobi, and I looked over at Malakai and he was just standing there! Then he continued to do it several more times. He even let me snap a picture!

(Don't mind his hideous outfit, his father dressed him today!)

Picture time!!

2009-05-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

We had family pictures and Malakai's 1st pictures taken this past weekend! I love them all, but there are just too many to share. So here are some of my favorites! I can't believe my baby is almost 1 :( I hate trying to rearange all the pictures on here, so here they are scattered! Enjoy!

spaghetti

2009-05-08T16:27:00.000-07:00

Malakai had spaghetti for the first time tonight!

Wagon Time!

2009-05-07T11:16:00.001-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa Wandell bought Malakai his very first wagon! He loves it! If you listen closely to the video he puts his finger in the hole and says "uh oh" So cute!

A little update

2009-05-06T19:36:00.000-07:00

We just got back from our amazing trip to the Bahamas. We had a blast and can't wait to see all of my family again. It is always a blast when we are together.

Malakai is now 11 months old. I cannot believe in just one short month he will be one year old. Time really goes by too quick. He is the best baby I could have ever asked for. He is so incredibly smart and always puts a smile on everybodies faces. He is the biggest flirt ever, and has the longest eyelashes in the world. He melts my heart and I cannot stop kissing him. He is into everything and should hopefully be walking here soon.

I am hoping to get on here and update more often, now that my amazing friend Brooklyn showed me a few things :) Things here have just been a little crazy, and are about to get even crazier. Malakai and I leave for Utah on the 20th of this month, and very shortly after we leave, Tobias will be deloying for a few months. So we are hoping to catch up with some family and old friends while we are there over the summer!

He is so big!!!

Malakais 7 month pictures

2009-01-18T17:58:00.000-08:00

My friend Katherine took Malakais pictures again, and they just turned out so, so , so cute!

HELLLO

2009-01-16T10:13:00.001-08:00

Well, I officially cloth diaper! I love it! The diapers are so cute and Malakai seems to love them too. Every time I put him in one, he poops!

Malakai's 1st Christmas!

2008-12-26T18:33:00.000-08:00

I have one, very, very spoiled baby! He LOVED Christmas. Even though he has been sick with a nasty runny nose, he still enjoyed himself.

6 months!

2008-12-14T16:19:00.000-08:00

Malakai is 6 months old. I cannot believe in just another short 6 months, my baby will be 1! Time has really, really flown by. Much quicker than I like. I love this little man to pieces and am so glad to wake up to his smiling face each and every morning. He is such a happy baby and I love watching him grow. Here are a few shots of him and the family. Enjoy :)

My big guy!

2008-10-25T19:04:00.001-07:00

He is 4 MONTHS!!!!!

4 Month check up:

17 pounds 3 ounces. YES he is HUGE
25 inches.

We are slowly starting him on rice cereal to see if that will help with his barfing. So far, no such luck.

just a few pictures.

2008-09-24T08:07:00.000-07:00

Malakai is now 3 months, 2 weeks and 4 days. He is my pride and joy and I live for this little boy!

Never find a love like this

2008-08-09T11:09:00.000-07:00

So for about the last hour, I've been reading the blogs of the lady whos little 14 month old daughter drowned in their hot tub. Seriously brought tears to my eyes. Just thinking "what if" that ever happened to me. It makes me want to break down just thinking about anything ever happening to Malakai. In a short 9 weeks, i've fallen soo in love with this little boy. He is my life. I live for the little guy. When people told me that being a parent was the best feeling in the world, they were 100% right. Just looking at him brings a smile to my face. I love watching him smile and hearing him "coo." I feel as if I have everything I could ever possibly need in life. I want him to stay tiny forever, but I can't wait for him to grow and learn and become an amazing person that I know he will be. I want to give him the best of me and be the best mom I can. I want him to have the best life possible. I couldn't love my husband and my son anymore than I already do. They make life worth living. I'm so greatful to have such a wonderful family and life.

Utah Trip

2008-07-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

The last 2 weeks we have been in Utah and have been having a blast. It is really going to be super hard to go back to crappy North Carolina!!

In the past year, i've gotten married to the most wonderful man alive and had the most beautiful baby! Most of you would know me as Chelsea Wandell, but it's now Chelsea Sherwood. My husband, Tobias, is a firefighter in the airforce, which is why we are stuck in horrible North Carolina! But we're making the best of things but still hoping to get out of here sometime soon. I gave birth to Malakai Raymond Sherwood on June 6th, 2008. Weighing in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long. He's only 5 weeks old and i already can't picture my life without him!
