Pictures and More Pictures - Fresh Air is GREAT!

So Mommy is finally updating my blog. She is a little behind, but she has been very busy. Here is a picture of me with my hair pulled back in a pony tail. I look so grown up.

Finding Nemo is a great movie. Mason and I love this movie.

PEEK A BOO!!! I SEE YOU!!!

Now you see me........under the table...

HERE I AM DADA!!!

NANNA BOOBOO..You can't catch me!

It is so nice outside...I was able to wear capris and a short sleeved t-shirt.

CHEESE!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! That is my new favorite word.

So I found this bowl in the back of my tricycle and I decided I might as well dig in the mulch with it.

Digging in the mulch is a lot of fun!

Mulch does not taste good at all....KAKAKA!!!

Even Kya loved being outside. I threw the ball for her and she watched the neighbor kids play outside too. It was a lot of fun!

I am adding so many more words to my vocabulary. I now tell Mommy and Daddy " I Love You". I know tons of animals and the sounds that they make. I can name everyone in my family and all of my friends. I know what my shoes and socks are and where they go on my feet. I am putting my arms in my shirts all by myself. I know the parts on my body...elbow and knee is fun to say. I still love Fraggle Rock and Finding Nemo is my new favorite movie. I love to watch cartoons...Caillou is my favorite and is easy to say. I also love to watch Arthur, Clifford, Dora, and the Bearenstein Bears. I love Elmo too!

I am sleeping in my big girl bed still, but love to get up in the middle of the night to snuggle with mommy and daddy. They hope that by the time we move into a new house that I will love my bed more...yeah right. 5 houses in 2 years, what do you think? Oh yeah, did you catch that we are going to move again. Somewhere with trees for me to climb and a big backyard for me to play in...maybe closer to Gamma and Gaga too. Who knows? We have looked at tons of houses....It is a little boring, but some houses have really cool toys that I don't have and then it is not fun to leave and I throw a fit! Oh well....they love me. Anyways, I think that is all for now.

Love to all,

Chloe Marie

I think I can, I think I can

So mommy decided to be funny and asked me to lick my elbow. I've tried and tried though I just can't get it to work.

Then after that, daddy told me he was going to give me a bunny ear, I got very excited but I think that was just another funny.

Snow Pictures

This is me doing my very first snow angel. I don't like laying on my back and was ready to go inside at this point in time. Look at how red my face is.....Look, I can't put my arms down....too much padding. But boy was I warm.
Sledding is so much fun! Whoever created this sport was a genius!
I love the snow. I was able to play in it for a little while, until I got a cold face and then I was ready to go inside.

Love,
Chloe

So Many New Things, Round 2

Once again, there are so many new things happening in my life. Mommy and Daddy HAVE been taking pictures but for some reason can't get on my blog at home to post them. Once again, Mommy is writing from work to update my blog. Oh well, she must have a little time to kill.....

New Bed!!!
That's right folks, the toddler bed is OUT, and the BIG GIRL Bed (twin bed) is IN!!! I love this thing. I have room to roll around and snuggle right under the covers. I have been sleeping in it all week. Daddy keeps thinking I am going to roll out of it, but I love to prove him wrong. I have been going to bed between 8pm and 9pm and have been waking up around 5 am to come have a little snuggle time with Mommy and Daddy before they go to work. Now, this morning, I completely slept through snuggle time. I didn't wake up until 7, just in time for Berenstein Bears. Mommy said that she is going to go out on Friday to get a bed rail thingy for my bed. This week, a pillow has been keeping me from falling out.


Children's Museum!!!
I went to the Children's Museum for the second time in my life. I love that place. Clifford was there and there was an izzibbit thing with all of Clifford's friends. It was so much fun! There were a TON of other kids there my age too. We s-l-o-w-l-y made our way to Playscape...that is my dreamland. I go right to the water table. Man is that thing fun! Mommy had to PULL me away from it...I kicked a little, but I got over it when I was able to go up the stairs to the slide...Mommy and Daddy say that I am going to be going there alot this year, something about a family membership that is expensive, but it goes to a good cause.


SNOW!!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap, there is a ton of white stuff on the ground. Kya has to run and jump around trying to find a spot to PP and Poop in. I have been playing out in it a little....it is really cold!

Speaking of PP and Pooping...I love the toilet thingy. Mommy has been putting me on it...I have yet to do anything IN it, but I did Toot yesterday night while I was sitting on it and then I said that I was done, so Mommy took me off it and then I PP'd on the floor BY the toilet. I am getting closer......I still love to take off my diaper and run around NAKED!!! Mommy prays that I don't want to be naked all the time when I grow up...

Speaking of praying, I love to pray before dinner and lunch and throughout dinner and lunch....I love to hold hands and say "PRAY" and then mommy says this saying and then we all say AMEN and eat...but I keep wanting to pray.....we pray at least 5 times through most dinners and lunch.

I am totally in love with ELMO!!! Nana got me "I love you" Elmo. He sings and wants tons of hugs and kisses. I love Elmo!

I love to color on paper, walls, windows, furniture, carpet, myself, my clothes......pretty much whatever the crayons want to color on, I let them. Good thing they are washable. Mommy even got me the Crayola Color Magic markers and paper. They don't taste very good.

I am signing a lot more words - Please, Thank you, More, Milk, Food, Boots...Signing Time is a great show.

Mommy and Daddy are going to try to post pictures on this thing soon...so keep checking it out!

P.S. My Aunt Carrie and Uncle Lyman are going to have a baby boy any day now! I will let you know when it arrives! We are praying that everything goes smoothly!

With tons of Love,
Chloe Marie

Daddy Come Home!

So my daddy has been in Florida since last Saturday. Mommy and I are really missing him. I woke up Saturday and Sunday morning asking for Dada and wasn't able to find him anywhere. Mommy and Nana have been taking care of me. They have been doing a good job, but Daddy just completes everything. Mommy has really been missing him too. Last night I heard her crying. I leaned over and gave her a kiss. I am sure that made her feel better. Daddy comes home tomorrow morning. We are going to get him at the airport. I better take a bath tonight so I can smell good for him.

Dada, I love you and miss you alot. Hurry home!

Love,
Chloe

Please Pray for my Friends!

I am writing to let you know that my friends, Sam and Ethan, are in need of your prayers. My mommy's friend at work had twins on January 5th. They were born very healthy. Sam was 5 lbs 14 ozs and Ethan was 6 lbs!

Here is a picture of Ethan.

Here is a picture of Sam!

Sam was rushed to Riley North last night because he was having a hard time breathing. Please keep both boys in your prayers. Their mommy and daddy are completely drained emotionally and physically. Please keep them in your prayers also! You can visit their blog at utzigfamilysite.blogspot.com.

We are all children of God!

Love,

Chloe

New Pics of Me!

kya, Kya, KYA!!! Come here, KYA!!!! I still have a little milk on my face!!!


OK, so the new "bus" that Mommy and Daddy have has this TV thing in it where I can watch all the Fraggle Rock I want. It comes with wireless headphones....I put them on myself....Hey I can't hear anything.....Hey where did all the music go to?

This is my boyfriend, Carter, and I posing for our picture together. Isn't he dreamy!!!

CHEESE!!!!!!!!!

This sock is so hard to put on!!!!!

I don't want to wear this on my butt!

That's right folks!! I have mastered taking OFF my diaper!!!

Love,

Chloe

New Pictures...or Maybe Not!

So there are a bunch of new pictures that Mommy and Daddy have taken of me. Mommy even uploaded them into the computer at home, but in the chaos of trying to put me to bed last night, Mommy fell asleep at 8:45 pm and didn't get my blog updated with new photos.

Mommy and Daddy are trying to get me on a schedule. You see, since my Nana watches me, I can go to sleep whenever I want and wake up whenever I want, but Mommy would like to change that. Mommy and Daddy have decided that it would be better for me to have a schedule so they can have a portion of their evenings to themselves...but if Mommy keeps falling asleep at 8:40 when I go to bed, how is that going to happen?!?! I actually think they want me out of their bed, but they are too chicken to say that to me....

So I have slept in my bed for 2 nights now....last night Mommy woke up at 12:20 am and saw that I was sleeping with my feet on the floor and my head on the bed, then at 4:45 am I saw my baba and started to dance around with it in my mouth and Mommy picked me up and put me in bed with her and Daddy. I guess I am making progress, they at least get a few hours in their bed without me.

Hopefully Mommy will remember to put pictures of me on the blog...so stay tuned.

Love to all,
Chloe

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! This year my Christmas picture was a surprise. All of my family got 8x10's of me this year for Christmas, so Mama didn't want to post the pictures until today.

I don't want to smile.....

Dada needs to learn when a girl like me is sick of having her picture taken...No I am not going to smile anymore. I love you Dada!

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sorry my mama has been very busy and hasn't been able to post pictures...people are always getting into accidents and causing her to do more work...Daddy keeps telling her "job security" - whatever that means.

My mommy and daddy found a cyst-like thing on my left ankle. I was taken to the dr and they told me that someone more special than them had to look at it...so mommy took me to this HUGE place (Methodist) and I had pictures taken of my foot - I wasn't asked to smile or anything. Then this guy in a white coat came in and said that he wants to have an ultrasound done on it....so later that week Daddy and Nana took me back to the HUGE hospital and had an ultrasound done....the person that looked at the ultrasound wasn't too sure about it and said that they wanted another doctor to look at it also...well, to say the least, I am going back to the HUGE hospital and going back to see the guy in the white coat. Hopefully he will tell me that it is a cyst and won't touch it for awhile...It doesn't hurt or anything, but they are worried about my growth plates or something - I wonder if I ate those while I was in mommy's tummy.....growth plates - huh, what a funny word. The guy in the white coat told mommy that if it doesn't go away in a year or so then he will have to surgically remove it....YUCK!!!

I had a great Christmas. I was not a good girl at church - daddy and I watched Fraggle Rock in the car halfway thru the Church service. I only took a one hour nap all day and then stayed up until 10:30pm opening presents at Gama and Gaga's house....with Uncle Ben. I got so much cool toys - the clothes were ok...Mommy thought they were cool - mama said that she sees a post dedicated to Brett Favre coming soon....I got a Brett Favre jersey for Christmas and a pink Packers sweatshirt....On Sunday I woke up and there was a Radio Flyer tricycle for me under the tree along with a baby stroller for my baby. Then off to Aunt Traci and Uncle Ninny's house...more toys - YEAH!!!! I got a Little People's Noah's Ark and then I saw that Mason got this HUGE semi with a jeep on the back...and boy did Santa get him a bunch of stuff too....That Santa guy is so nice. I can't wait to meet him. Mommy and Daddy said that next year I could meet him - I guess Santa ran out of time or something. Then after Aunt Traci and Uncle Ninny's house we went to see Papa and Becky. I got Toys, toys and more toys. They counteracted Gama and Gaga with a Colts warm up suit for me in pink. I guess I will have to support both teams. There are so many things to play with that I don't even know where to start....The weebles castle has been played with though - Thank you Gama and Gaga for the weebles castle.

Well, Mama needs to get back to work, more claims just landed on her desk - YUCK!!!!

Love to all,
Chloe Marie

Where have I been?

Okay, so Mommy has been busy with the Holiday's, we had everyone over at our new house for Turkey Day, then there is the putting up of this tree...inside our house...and then hanging all these shinny balls on it that I get in trouble for touching.

Me teasing Kya

I love me some chips and dip!

My friend Elle came to visit, she really knows how to smile. Her Mommy made homemade macaroni and cheese and cornbake!! Daddy wants them to come visit more often.



So, just what is this thing?



I've got Daddy wrapped around my little fingers.


Uncle Ben read me a story while I sat in my car seat.


Since I love chips and dip so much, I have to take lots
of baths.


Elle was teaching me how to do this smile thing on command.

What a week of...heck

This week has been tough on me, oh yeah and mommy and daddy. Last Tuesday I thought it would be funny to empty my tummy on mommy and daddy, I think daddy wrote something about that. Well, the days that followed were full of temperatures in the 100 - 104 degree area accompanied by crabbiness, restfullness and all the other "..nesses" that I'm too young to know.
So Friday I got to go see Dr. Kain in her nice room with the Seasame Street Gang all over the walls. She said that I may have Roseola, such a pretty name, or something called a UTI. The doctor told mommy and daddy not to worry about the temperature too much as long as I kept drinking from my cup, and if I was still hot, maybe I'd get to see her again on Monday! Well by Sunday mommy and daddy were a little worried and I got to go see another doctor man this time. Doctor man said the same and his nurse put some little baggie down by my who-ha to catch my pee, what a silly thing to do. He also gave me something to make me feel better, bubble gum out of a dropper, the best!!
Monday came and I was still a hot little girl so I got to go see Dr. Kain again. She said that I had and infection in my pee, what is an infection and just how would she know that? So the doctor took my pretty Roseola name away from me and said I had a UTI, is that what E.T. came to earth in? So more medicine in a dropper, and I started to feel better and act like a little girl again. Of course I think I'll play this out a little today and be clingy so mommy and daddy get to hold me all night, such a rough life this being a baby is.

15 Month Checkup!

So on Friday, I had my 15 month checkup. Stats are as follows:

Height: 29 3/4 inches long
Weight: 19 lbs 2 ozs

The doctor told Mommy that she needs to put real butter on everything I eat and I can eat all the ice cream I want. The doctor said that I need to gain some weight. I am in the 25% for height and 2% for weight. I am perfect in every way though. I have a slight sinus infection - nothing a little Amoxicilian can't cure and also had to have 4 shots - OUCH!! On Saturday, I ran a slight fever - 101 degrees. I am still having a hard time sleeping through the night, but mommy and daddy are still letting me sleep with them when I wake up in the middle of the night. They are the best!!

Daddy surprised Mommy with a new vehicle for their anniversary - well kind of...We now have a 2007 GMC Yukon XL. It is silver and very cool. It even has a TV for me to watch all the movies that I really don't care to watch because I really don't watch TV. I guess they were thinking for in the future...

Here are some cute pictures of me....

Stuckey Farms

On Friday, Mason, Aunt Traci, Mommy and I went to Stuckey Farms with Mason's 1st Grade Class. We had a lot of fun, but it was REALLY COLD and WINDY!!! Here are some pics...





Hope you all are enjoying the new pictures my mommy is posting. There are quite a few...

Love,
Chloe

Russell Farms Pumpkin Patch

Today, my cousin, Mason, and Aunt Traci, Mommy and Daddy and I all went to Russell Farms Pumpkin Patch. There was so much to do. They had a Corn Maze, Pedal Tractors, horses to rope steer heads, PUMPKINS and ANIMALS!!
HORSES!!


And GOATS!


And PIGS oh my!!!

This is Mason and I in the Corn Maze. He tried to get us lost a couple of times. Whew! I am glad that we made it out because after that we went on this big tractor looking thingy with hay in it and I got me a pumpkin!


This is Mason and I on the gator.


This is Mason and I on a "horse". Aren't we just adorable???

We all had a lot of fun! Mason and I were the only ones that got pumpkins though. Daddy said something about Walmart having theirs for only $2.98 a piece no matter what size. He is so silly!

Love,
Chloe Marie
