Chloe at 7 months

Chloe Grace is learning more and more each day. She sleeps from 8pm to 8am and eats four times a day ~ she's tried peas, sweet potatoes, bananas (not a favorite!), peaches, prunes, and blueberries. She likes to sit and play with a basket of toys; favorites include her 'purse', the stack of rings, the bug loop, and her remote. She also likes to stand in her walker and is learning how to stand while holding onto something. She doesn't quite understand that when she lets go, she's going to fall over! Books are another favorite ~ Chloe doesn't like it when story-time is over. Current favorite books are: Hungry Caterpillar, How Much I Love You, and Tails (of course).

She gives her dad big smiles when he comes home and still loves his guitar playing. Chloe likes when we sing to her and she thinks that high-fives are really funny.

She seems to be enjoying the outdoors - during our walks at the park she sits happily in the stroller watching the world go by. These pictures are from yesterday while we were sitting in our backyard. I love it when she wears hats and this hat is probably my favorite so far ~ I think because of the strap :)

She is SO cute! Keep up the great work, Mom. :) That hat with the strap would be my favorite too. It makes those cheeks look so adorable and irresistible. Perfect for kisses, which I'm sure she gets a million a day. Have a great week!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
