Gotcha'

I was trying to get a video of Chloe rolling over, but...this is almost as good. I hope you enjoy it.

Roll over! Roll over!

Sunday morning Chloe started crying at 3 in the morning (this was unusual 2 weeks ago, but pretty common now). I woke up and heard her crying a different cry, so I got up really fast and went to see what was different. Lo and behold, she had rolled herself over from her stomach to her back. This, I thought, must be a fluke. So I fed her and put her back in bed on her tummy.
5am: rolled from stomach to back, again.
6pm: rolled from stomach to back--I missed this one, but Jason saw it.
Up to this point, I had yet to witness her actually roll over and see the process.
Monday morning, 4am: rolled from tummy to back
Tuesday morning 3am: rolled from tummy to back

Tuesday night was the best she's had in a long time. She was happy all evening and only cried about 5 minutes the entire night. I had her in her room on the floor while I put away her laundry and I saw her trying to roll. I stopped and tried to encourage her. She flipped to her back and I cheered for her, then she rolled back to her tummy, then back to her back, then to her tummy again--all within about 8 minutes! Wow, what a gift from my little Bug!

Holding her head up

Chloe has gotten really good at holding her head up when she's on her tummy. She can now hold it for a few seconds at almost a 90* angle. Hurray, Chloe! Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry the pictures are out of focus, but that's the funny thing about babies: they never hold still!

She loves sucking on her fist now. She is constantly sucking, sliming, and drooling. Sha goes through at least 5 bibs each day because of drooling :).

I love this picture. I just wish it was in focus.

Is it worth going to jail?

Mom, Holly, Chloe and I went to the mall in Pineville yesterday. While we were there, we decided to try looking in Macy's for some baby clothes for Chloe. We found a really cute shirt that would be perfect to wear over her swim suit when we go to the beach in the spring. We kept shopping around, then decided that we had better move on to a new store. Well it ws probably 15 minutes later that we noticed the cute little shirt--still hanging on the stroller! We forgot to pay for it! So, I ask every one, is $2.69 worth going to jail?

I went shopping on my own that morning and bought Chloe some sun glasses. She thought they were wild!

Chloe's first Halloween

Friday night, Jason and I took Chloe to our church's Fall Festival. These pictures were when we first arrived and she was happy. In an effort to keep her warm, we tried to cover her with blankets. But, she would have none of it; She would rather see than be warm--Crazy Nut! That is the reason we only have a few pictures of her that night. Sorry everyone!
