Chloe at 2 1/2

Let's take a second to see Chloe at 6 months:

And Chloe at 1 1/2

And now.....She's already 2 1/2.....Can't believe it :)

How do I even begin to explain this little girl? Ball of energy, curious, kind-hearted, playful, loving....these all come to mind when thinking about Chloe. She has a sweet heart - and recently started asking "I help anything?" -- how nice!!!

She is a great big sister! She loves April and I think she's learning that sharing is an okay thing. We try to teach her that she should have a heart that likes to share - but that's hard for a two year old sometimes! She likes to "pet" April (meaning, pat her on the head) and she also likes to hold her and then shout "camera!", so that I will take their picture together.

Her favorite time of day is probably when Daddy gets home. She likes to climb up on the couch and wait for him. The second the car pulls into the driveway, she starts talking to Kevin, as though he can hear her :) Never saying "Hello", she starts talking to him about what's been going on as soon as he steps inside. This is a crazy time of day because dinner is in the works, but she gets SO EXCITED and is just dying to explain all that's been happening. She can't get words out fast enough - and ends up running around to do the joy she has. :)

Chloe is starting to declare "I do it myself" and "Chloe do it" when she doesn't want any help. She can take off her coat and shoes when we get inside, she can climb in her bed (but has never climbed out!), and likes to pick out her clothes in the morning. When she gets to decide what to eat she likes oatmeal for breakfast and "pinner jelly" for lunch :)

Chloe likes to sing and favorites include Jesus Loves Me and Angels We Have Heard On High. She can answer the first 16 questions in the Children's Catechism. She enjoys going to the church and library. I hear more and more about what she does while in the church nursery - which is fun because before it used to be a mystery! She likes to get Berenstain Bear books from the library.

Chloe dislikes bath time and thinks that big trucks and Willie the Giant (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) are "loud"...which means that they are scary. She loves Chuggington and Mickey Mouse on tv and her favorite toys are Baby Schnookums, her magnadoodle, a matching game, playdough, and books.
Personally, I don't know how she got to be 2 1/2 already, seeing as it was just yesterday that she was born! We love her more and more every day and can't wait to see the young lady that she'll grow up to be. Happy 30 months Chloe :)

Such a great post ... I enjoyed reading about Miss Chloe at 2 1/2. Also, we are proud of Chloe for never getting out of her big girl bed ... maybe she can give her friend Eliana some pointers?? :)

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 ...
