Play time with Daddy

Chloe was in such a good mood last night. She and Jason played together almost the whole night. She fussed just a little when we put her in "the chair" which happens to be a little rocking chair that she loves. I know she is rotten to her sweet, sugary center now. Everytime she would fuss a little, I would just look at her and then she would get this huge smile on her face. Nothing was wrong, she just wanted me to look at her, not my food. hehe.

Bug meets bug

This weekend, I went to the store and saw little mirrors that you can attach to the crib or set up on the floor. Since Chloe loves to look at herself in the mirror when we change her, I decided to go ahead and buy it for her tummy time.

It's a bug (and another bug).
Do they make you exercise, too?

She was trying to reach for the bug in this picture, even though it doesn't look like it and she never got it :)

The weekend

Chloe's friend, Ian, came over to our house Friday night and brought his dad and mom, Mike and Doris.
Ian is really getting around now, but not quite crawling. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks, bounces and wiggles, but, no crawling. He loved playing with Chloe on his blanket; He especially liked trying to get her feet while they were kicking. He thought he had a great new toy to play with.

We ended up moving Ian to the opposite corner and told him, "If you want to get Chloe, then you have to crawl to her."

WHY?

We thought we were so clever to move him, but then he rolled over a few times and got to her anyway! Smarty-Pants!

Chloe was highly entertained by his cleverness, too.

"Ooo, feet!"

Looks like they both got tired at the same time. hehe.

More of the foot watching.

Getting tired of Chloe's feet. "All they do is kick."

I didn't do it!

Ok, maybe I did!

Ian: "I thought you were going to bed?" Chloe: "Siked them out didn't I?"

Sunday afternoon: Chloe's first Sunday in nursery. She must have had a load of fun!

Remind you of anyone?

Great-Grandma taking care of Chloe.

Happy days are here again

Chloe is going through another growth spurt; although, I didn't realize it until last night when she was wanting to eat every hour and 45 minutes.

The past few days had been odd for Chloe. She started a hoarse cry on Sunday night that still hasn't gone away completely. Jason and I are thinking it was the swing drying out her throat; time for the humidifier! Chloe has also had only 3 poops a day, but just barely. And, she's been easily irritable which,everyone knows, is totally out of character for her.

She just hasn't ben herself. Until last night, that is. Here are the results of getting what she needs and when she needs it (food and sleep). I'm sorry it took me so long to figure it out, Chloe!

By the way, I already know the date on my camera is off. These were taken 10/22/08.

Personality

Talk about your personality. This one is my new favorite.

Guess who's a new citizen?

My friend Doris was just sworn in this morning. Doris has been waiting so long for this. Our SS class had an All-American party for her tonight to help her celebrate. Congratulations, Doris!

I'm thinkin' peas

Originally, Jason and I wanted to find a lady bug outfit for Chloe to wear at our church Family Night, Oct. 31st. But, as would happen, Target was out of the costume. So, we went down the street to Party City and got a Pea in the Pod outfit. I would not go back to the lady bug, now, seeing how cute she is in the Pea outfit. She really is our little Sweet Pea!

"My Baby Chloe"

Saturday, October 11, Chloe got to meet her cousin Holland for the first time. Holland loved to talk to, hug, kiss, look at and play with Chloe (and she did each of these about every 5 minutes). Chloe didn't mind, though, she loved getting all the attention. When I asked Holland what the baby's name is, she said, "My Baby Chloe." Alana said that Holland had been saying that Alana's baby's name was going to be My Baby Ethan, and now it would probably be My Baby Chloe for a while. At least Holland is thinking ahead. She sure is going to be a great help to Alana and Chad when their new little one decides to make an appearance. I know it's a little late, but it was also great to see Alana and Chad, too! Sorry, guys. :)

Just looking

Kisses for Chloe
Say "Cheese," Alana and Holland; "Milk," Chloe!

Taking a few minute break before Chloe needs her again :)

Waiting anxiously to hold Chloe

What a great little helper! I know, a bad picture of Chloe; she looks drunk on milk.

Great pose, Holland!
