Things About Chloe I Want To Remember


I think Chloe is most content when she's outside.  She can be cranky, tired, gums/teeth hurting, and you take her outside and everything is better.  I guess this is true for most kids right?  I mean, what else did we do before the Internet, Wii and Nickelodeon?  We played outside and watched Sesame Street!  Of course, PBS was only 1 of the 4 channels we got when I was a kid.  I guess this is what I'll tell Chloe instead of "walking a mile in the snow to school everyday." :)


Yesterday we went for a walk in this miserable heat.  When we got back home, I turned the sprinkler on to water the grass.  Chloe was playing in the water before I could stop her...and really, how could I say no?  After we played for awhile, I asked her if we could go inside, and she shook her head no!  Chloe may not be able to say her words, but she definitely understands mine!

A couple of Chloe's latest interests are purses and shoes - a girl after my own heart, right?  I've been letting her play with some of my purses and she taken to strutting around the house with her purse!  So cute!

Chloe knows she's not supposed to play with the remote.  So when she get ahold of it, she thinks it's really funny!

My Girl 7-26-20

Nana & Bob-Bob came for a visit on Saturday

Mondays are the best with Chloe -it's usually just me and her.  She is really walking well, all over the house & into everything!  She went from taking 2-3 steps to walking all over the house.

Silly time

9 Month Check Up

Chloe's 9 month check up was June 7th.  She is 18 1/2 lbs, 28" long & her head is 17".  As we all know (but the doctor confirmed), Chloe is developing & progressing great!

Yes, Chloe is pushing the chair!
 

The Wheel, Summer Visitors, Water Balloon Wars & Skinny Dippin!

About the time Chloe was recovering from a stomach bug (week before last), Jillian got it, so Chloe & I had a sick day.  I had new idea how much she loved the Wheel!  Chloe was quite excited!

Kary was pushing Chloe thru the house on the office chair -Good Times!
