Chloe at 9 months

We had Chloe's 9 month appointment yesterday. This little girl is 17 pounds, 2 ounces and 27 1/2 inches long. She just keeps getting bigger and bigger! We had one shot yesterday - and she DID NOT CRY. Can you believe it? She took it like a champ! No tears, no cries, just a look of shock and then waving to the nurses.


Chloe is a busy little girl ~ she likes to sit with a basket of toys and take each item out and then play with the basket :) She likes music (you've seen the dancing!) and singing ~ we start each day with "This is the day the Lord has made" and sing other things throughout the day.

She has started pulling up on her exosaucer and loves 'walking' with us. She has started eating foods by herself ~ peas, cheese, grapes, pears, and cheerios (of course). In the last few days she has started signing "more" when she finishes what is on her highchair tray.

Although not a cuddler, Chloe has learned to give kisses and has started giving her version of a hug. She sits still when we read books to her, but other than that, she's usually too busy to stop for a cuddle.

Chloe says many different sounds - da & ba being the sounds I hear most frequently. She also still 'whistles', which is a face that she's made since she was born.
She is a delight and brings joy to all those around her. We love you Chloe!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

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
