Chloe at 10 months

Baby Chloe is getting closer and closer to being Toddler Chloe. She likes to be on the move - either in the stroller, 'walking' with someone, rolling, scooting....It's getting harder to get a good picture of her ~ but usually I can get a good one eventually :)


She is curious about new people and places ~ usually giving new faces a very serious look before flashing a smile and waving hello. She charms people everywhere we go ~ I think it's made me more friendly too! :)


Chloe loves to be outside watching cars go by, pointing at birds, waving to anything that moves. She likes the grass now and tries to pluck blades out of the ground. She also likes to dig around in the dirt for rocks, and we're learning (slowly) that rocks are not for eating.


She has a stubborn streak but is still sensitive to a stern "no". We've come a long way in high-chair manners and not eating books :) She claps when she really likes something or when we clap for her. She will voluntarily kiss her baby dolls but only Mom and Dad occasionally.

We're still waiting for her teeth to poke through her gums; I'm loving her toothless grin though :) She started drinking formula at dinner time this month and gulps it down with no problems! She continues to love peas, but has discovered a love for carbs - bread and tortilla in particular.

We love you Chloe! You are a delight!!

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 ...
