Well, last night Selah figured out how to put her foot in her mouth...literally! She found that she likes to chew on her big toe. That is one teether that will always be with her!!! She is really starting to examine her hands, fingers, and toys. She likes to study everything and everyone around her.
Selah went swimming for the first time last week. She had such a good time! This was a spur of the moment decision so Jeremy was the only one out of the three of us that had a bathing suit...or at least a pair of shorts that could double as a bathing suit. Selah went skinny dipping...we figured she was young enough to do that...and I sat on the side of the pool with my feet in the water. Jeremy had no choice but to swim with her the entire time because if he handed her to me to hold she would start fussing. She wanted to be in that water with her daddy!!! She loves the water.
She has been swimming twice since that day. It looks like we are going to have to convince daddy of getting her (and mommy) an above ground pool...wink, wink!!! I think that the little kiddie pools at Walmart will work for right now!
Check out the Connor's blog for some great pictures of Selah playing with her friend Maddie!!! They are SO cute together!!!

No Longer Toothless!!
Selah now has two teeth!! The first tooth was discovered at youth group on Sunday. One moment she was playing with my hand and the next she was biting my finger! I was shocked when I felt something sharp as she bit down! By Wednesday the whole top of the tooth was visible. Now she has two of them poking up!
That said, this week has been VERY interesting! Selah has been very needy, which is really not her personality. She does not want me to leave her side all day long. Which really makes it difficult to get anything done. She was really fussy at the beginning of the week. Even though it was hard on me I tried to be extremely patient with her. I know that she did not know what was going on and why she had a constant pain in her mouth. I tried to give her teething tablets but she was just out of sorts. Things seem to be better now. Yesterday she was back to her old self.
I think that I tend to take for granted how wonderful of a baby she is. Then when she has a bad day, which is never really that bad, I realize that my days with her really are very easy. She likes to lay on the ground and play with her toys or talk to herself. She really is a very low maintenance baby. I am so blessed by her.
Yesterday I was thinking about her new teeth and her rapid development. Everything seems to be going by so fast. She is only five months old and while she is not really rolling over on a regular basis (something I thought she would be doing by now), she is sitting up on her own very well for extended periods of time. She has her two little teeth and seems to be developing more and more each day. They say that time flies by but I never expected her to be changing so much so quickly. It really does feel like I am going to turn around and she is going to be walking and talking. I just did not realize how much it really does fly by. That said, things are bitter-sweet in the Kelly house. We are so excited to watch her grow and develop but feel that is going by a lot faster than we expected. I cherish each moment I have with her. I know that before I know it Selah will be all grown up!

Blessed!!
Well, things seem to be moving right along. Selah is continuing to grow and grow. Three weeks ago she was 17.5 lbs and 25.4 inches. She is wearing 6 month clothing. Selah is having a hard time figuring out that she can roll over. She is VERY social. I am already seeing her little personality show through.
This week she has started sitting up on her own for about 5 minutes at a time. It is so strange to see her sitting up before she is even really flipping over. I feel like she is getting so big so fast. On one hand I really can't wait to watch her grow and develop. On the other hand I want her to stay little for as long as possible!!
This week Selah has discovered her little hands. She will play with them and study them. It is so cute! She also found her toes. I walked in to check on her while she was down for her nap and found her playing with her toes in her bed. It was also very cute!! She can't reach both feet at the same time so she will grab one foot at a time. She has not yet put her feet in her mouth! I don't think that she could reach.
New news in the Kelly house!
We have been experiencing a lot of blessings lately. Yesterday I (Cass) called the insurance company to ask about our hospital balance. We had almost 7,000 dollars that we still had to pay. I thought that this was a large balance considering I did not use any pain medication and we got out of the hospital as soon as we could. After looking at all of the bills with our insurance company we found that all we were supposed to pay was 1,200 dollars. We have already paid almost half of that! So, now we have around 700 dollars left to pay. I was very excited to find that one of those zeros was taken off of our hospital debt!!! We have also been receiving reimbursement checks and anonymous monetary gifts in the mail. This is all just proof that God really is our provider!! I know that He will continue to take care of us. What an awesome God we serve!!!!
