Chloe Updates

Chloe wrote quite a few of her latest achievements on her blog but I thought I would reiterate in grown up talk.

Kristen and I have been very excited about her latest developments. Its very sad to see how fast she is growing but very exciting that she is learning so much.

In the last couple weeks she has started crawling efficiently. She's still a little shaky but if you look away too long she can scoot right along. She can now crawl over to her toys and pull herself up to a stand.

She is doing very good eating and her bath and bedtime are so smooth. She is doing better at her naps and has given us a consistent hour and sometimes more.

Chloe and Aero have been interacting more. Aero is so calm even when Chloe crawls to her and pulls her hair. I think she likes the attention.

Chloe has also started saying "Uh Oh" quite often. She just fell from standing up at her toy and rolls over. Next thing I hear is "Uh Oh". It is so cute!

She started making kissy noises the last few days too. We are trying to teach her to blow kisses but she will mimic me when i make kissy noises at her.

That's all I have time for tonight. You all need to get over to see her as you can because everything is changing so much!

She's mobile!

So Chloe learned how to crawl last weekend. Here is a video of her attempting to move. She does get a little ways and then figures out it is pretty fun to play with Aero's

Bath Time

We broke out the camera again. We got some pretty good photos of Chloe during bath time. She is such a poser. She really likes her bath time. We try to make it a fun event for all. She is so excited to have teeth that she loves brushing her teeth. I think she gets that from her mom.



We did some more bath-time hairdos too. There were quite a few neat ones. Not enough space here to post them all. You can see them in the web albums here.




Chloe found out that the baby in the mirror will kiss back when she kisses it. She spent a bit of time playing with that other baby.

Big Break

I understand there was a very large break in the posts here. Things have been CRAZY!

Lots of new progressions. Chloe has started waving! She can almost crawl forward. She can scoot backwards across the room. She is also very hard to keep ahold of when she decides she wants something close to within her reach.


Here are some pictures from January

Family Christmas

 
 
 

Hi all! I just wanted to put up some pictures that we took today. This is the first time we have gotten together with both babies. We are spending the Christmas weekend in Texas and had a couple days together with all of Kristen's family. Enjoy the pictures and check picasa web albums for more pictures.

Quick Picture

I haven't updated in a while so I wanted to just post a picture and let you all know I am still here. Enjoy!

 

So Cool

I love being a dad. Chloe and I were talking and playing some tonight and I put her down in her 'exersaucer' to let her play and wear down for our story and bedtime. I have been watching her figure out how to use the toys and buttons. She stares at something and then accidentally hits a button. It makes noise. The next minute or so is calculated and she really tries to figure out how to do it. She has bumped one button and stops and stares at the lights while it plays music.

The other cool thing I notice is that she has figured out what the pacifier is. I hooked it to a tether attached to her shirt. She has reached for it and grabbed the pacifier and almost figured out how to get it into her mouth. Before I had it tethered to her shirt she wouldn't stop chewing on her hand.

I love seeing her grow and learn. She is learning so fast and as much as it makes me sad it makes me very proud to be her father.
