Well, I'm not sure how it happened so fast....but Chloe turned 3. So, we had a party on the 11th with the grandparents and great-grandparents (and Aunt Chelle & Tom!)

The party theme was purple, as you might be able to tell from the pictures :)  She made her party hat because we couldn't find a purple one at the store.  She wrote her name across the front & put a ton of stickers on all sides :)

"You make cupcakes for my birthday?" She's asked for the last month.  Here are the cupcakes!

One excited girl!

Loved it.

I think this was my favorite birthday for her so far.  She was so excited about each gift (even if she did move very quickly through them!) and the expressions on her face are just priceless.

Play cash register...This was her favorite gift by far ~ good choice Mommom Ritter!!  She's played with it all day every day since the 11th.  I've bought more groceries and heard the little play scanner beep more times than I can count!

So of course we went outside & tried it out!!

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 ...
