Chloe at 12 months

I know that she's not exactly 12 months, she's a little bit older, but I just got her "stats" at the doctors this week, so that's why the post has waited....

Chloe Grace is now 18 pounds, 14 ounces and 29 1/2 inches long. The week after her birthday, she learned how to stand up on her own (not pulling up on anything) and since then all she wants to do is walk around. It's fun to watch her going from room to room, stopping to pick something up, or "arrange" things in her own little way.



She isn't saying any real words, but 'talks' to herself or to me all day long. She still dances to all types of music ~ and now she can play her piano or guitar to make her own music! She loves to carry her babies, or bring them to me to hold, but we need to work on being gentle with them - she usually slams them to the ground!


She isn't a picky eater....although if she could live on bread and cheese alone she probably would. She drinks 'regular' milk now and seems to really like it.


As you can see from the pictures, she LOVES her purse. She carries it around the house all the time. She even had it with her at the mall the other day...but decided not to buy anything ;)


We love you Chloe Grace!

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 ...
