6 Months Today!!!

Wow - time sure is flying by!!!! Chloe is 6 months old today! She is learning and developing so quicky!! She is learning to sit up .. still a little wobbley, but getting there. She is on Stage 2 foods .. and LOOOVES vegies!! We are leaving for Indiana next Wednesday - she will make for an interesting 8 hour drive!!!

Easter and 5 months old!

Getting SO big!!!! We had a blessed 1st Easter with our Doodle Bug. She is so sweet. She sleeps completely through the night. She is on Stage 2 foods and can roll front to back and back to front. She still needs a little prop while sitting, but we are working on it. I am so blessed to be able to be at home with her and I love every minute of it!

I want to soak up the sun ..

Chloe in her sunglasses .. I think she is ready for some warm weather!

Chloe is 4 1/2 months old now. I can't believe how quickly time is flying by! She now eats oatmeal cereal with green beans in the evening. Some days she seems to love it, other days she purses her lips tightly and refuses. She is so funny! We had such a great time this past Saturday with Rod Kaye (http://www.rodkaye.com). He took pictures of Chloe with live bunnies ... I will post the pictures as soon as I receive them. I can't wait to see how they turned out ..
He is a great photographer and offers great pricing! I attached a picture of Chloe's 1st green bean feeding .. I promise some made it IN her mouth :) Also, her bunny hat .. hahaha ..

OHHHH and also .. she turned over from her back to her tummy in her bassinet this morning! Exciting stuff! She is growing growing growing! She now weighs 11 lbs, 6 oz!!

Steal my heart over and over again!

I just had to share ... Chloe laughed at me this past Friday .. actually laughed several times .. It was soooo precious!!!! I was making sneezing noises at her while we were shopping and she just giggled! I have heard and seen her giggle in her sleep, but that was the 1st time while awake! She melts my heart!

Chloe is 3 months old tomorrow!

I can't believe that my Doodle Bug will be 3 months old tomorrow .. seems like I just had her yesterday!!!! What a true blessing she has been to us all! We had 3 month pics taken today ... She is such a ham!!! Here is a link to all the photos in a slide show:

11 weeks

Hi .. here is a pic of Chloe in her new Bumbo ... Isn't she cute???? She turned 11 weeks on Friday!!!!

WAY TO GO, CHLOE!!!!

Hi All! About 45 minutes ago, at 11:00 pm, Chloe was laying on her play mat and turned over from her tummy to her back all on her own!!! YAY!!! Way to go, Chloe! This was a very exciting moment for us!!

Also, we believe she has started to teethe .. She is drooling and chewing profusely and has been just a bit fussy. We hope this will not be so hard on her, but look forward to seeing her first tooth. She has also turned into quite a bubble blower and chatter box. She is changing so fast!!

Collage

Here is a collage I created of the 3 of us .. Chloe looks so much like us both!

Chloe Elizabeth is 10 weeks old today!!!! Our baby is growing up so fast!! Happy Friday, Everyone! Have a great weekend! :)

2 Month Wellness Check

Doodle Bug had her 2 month wellness check today. She did so well!!! She had 4 shots and 1 oral and handled them all like a little trooper. She cried when the shots were given, but immediately quit crying as soon as it was over. The nurse gave them quick so it was over fast! Chloe did so well! She now weighs 10 pounds, 5 ounces and is 23 1/2 inches long! Chloe also had an ultrasound on her hips yesterday at Scottish Rite. Breech babies can develop hip dysplasia. She will have a repeat ultrasound in 2 months prior to her 4 months wellness check. Hope everyone is doing well!

Cabbage Patch

I am soooo excited - we bought Chloe a Cabbage Patch Kid with brown hair, blue eyes and dimples with the name "Chloe Elizabeth" and birthday of 11/7!! I will post pictures of them together when we receive her doll.

If you go online to https://www.cabbagepatchkids.com/ you can order your doll customed to what you want and have the name and birthdate you want.

HAPPY 2009!!!

Chloe Elizabeth

These 2 pics were taken at the hospital after Chloe was born ... sweet girl!!

Born 11/7/ 2008 at 8:18 am - 6 lbs, 14 oz, 19" long

Born via c-section as she was complete breech sitting criss cross applesauce.


She is absolutely the love of my life!

There is no love like that between a mother and her child!

She is currently 8 weeks old, blowing bubbles, holding her head up, rolling to the side, growing like a weed and becoming so strong!

This picture was taken on 12/18. I plan to have more professional pictures taken at 3 months of age, but will post candids as I update.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May you all have a healthy, blessed 2009!
