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?? :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
