Chloe at 2


Chloe is 2 and loving life! :) She had a wonderful birthday - started with cupcakes and a present at Mommom R.'s on Thursday and ended with Mommom B and Aunt Nancy coming on Monday. We'll have some more celebrating this weekend when Kevin's side of the family comes to visit.


Big items included a picnic table from Grandma and Grandpa B.....and a basketball hoop from Mom and Dad :) She's being trained to be the next Sheryl Swoops ;)

oh yeah, and Michelle brought meatballs to dinner and Chloe couldn't get enough:



This little girl remains the best sleeper in the house - goes to bed at 8:00 and wakes up between 8 and 8:30 in the morning. She takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon too! She likes all kinds of food and prefers orange juice over most other drinks (except milk...they are probably tied). Popsicle and "ice ice" (ice cream) are favorite desserts :)

She adores her baby dolls and is always taking care of one of them. She likes for Mom or Dad to spread out a blanket for the dolls to do 'tummy time' while April does her tummy time.

She is learning about listening and obeying the first time she is asked. Time-outs seem to work well as a punishment - she doesn't like sitting still!

Chloe Grace is full of energy and fun. She is almost always busy doing something around our house and likes to play with others. The church nursery and the library are her favorite places to go - although she behaves very well any other place too (grocery store, post office, bank).
She makes us laugh and grit our teeth all in the same 15 minute time span. She's the girl that I spend the most time with each day (April takes more naps!) and I couldn't ask for someone better to spend my time with. We love you Chloe!

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 ...
