Monkey See, Monkey Do

Chloe is starting to mimic everything we do. It's cute but it's kind of scary. She's putting on make up, fixing her hair, cooking dinner, wearing her daddy's ties.
She went to the doctor yesterday for her 18 month check up. Everything was great but Dr. Chang said that it would be a good idea to put her on a vitamin. I got her the gummy ones. Looking back, not such a good idea. She has recently started signing please and more...absolutely precious...but she knows that this will 99.9% of the time get her whatever she is wanting. As soon as I gave her the gummy vitamin she started signing please more. I couldn't help but laugh. What a mess.
She now weighs 27 pounds and is 32 1/2 inches long.
She can roar like a lion, quack like a duck(sounds more like a sick duck), bark like a dog, chomp, chomp like an alligator, neigh like a horse, say b,c,d for her abc's. She also is the best tickler. It's so cute. She always goes to Chris' feet and says something like 'ticiticitickle....' Very cute. It always can make me laugh. She will come up for no reason and pucker up for a kiss and she gives the best bear hugs! She is totally 100% Chris' child...there's no denying it. She is so much like him!

We have laughed so much the past few days. Chloe has decided that she is going to call me Michelle...not joking! We thought that's what she was saying last week but didn't think much of it. Well, I was doing something and she came down the hallway hollering, "Michelle" coming to find me. Now she says it all the time and it's only when she is talking to me. My baby isn't even 18 months and she's calling me by my first name. I'm not too sure what to think about it except it's funny to hear it coming from her!

Lots of Christmas

Merry Christmas

We went to Bass Pro this year to see Santa! It was so neat. We will definitely be coming back next year!
Chloe checking it all out!

We knew tears would be shed...what a mess!

Her arms were sooooooooooooo tight around my neck! She was so afraid I was going to give her back to him.

Playing outside with daddy! Two peas in a pod!!!

TROUBLE! THis child like sugar....anything sugar!

Crawling on the table to get the gumdrops.

More frosting

Mommy's lil helper. Notice her mouth is full of candy!

The end result!

Chloe's 1st Trick-or Treating

My lil Chick-a-dee
Jadyn wanted Nana to be Tinkerbell for Halloween. She's the best Nana ever so of course she got wings to wear! Not too many nana's would do that for the grandkids! She didn't wear the tutu. She was just trying it on.

Camo the army dude.

Nana, Chloe, Camden and Jadyn

Linde, we wish you could've been there.

Chloe and her daddy

This picture captures both of their personalities perfectly! Are they cute or what!?!

Chloe's 1st house for trick or treating. She was ready to go all by herself!

Almost there. She wasn't sure what to do except follow her cousins!

Excited about candy!!!!

You notice she's walking in the opposite direction as everyone else! This became a trend. She just wanted to roam!

Everyone kept telling us that she even walked like a duck....she was a chick but yes she does waddle!!!

Look at the next few pictures and see if you notice what they all have in common!

She was all about the CANDY! We had to keep emptying her bucket. As soon as someone would put something in it she would try to sit down so she could check it out. Then if we weren't quick enough it ended up in her mouth! I think we're in trouble. She really likes sugar just like her daddy and nana!

Going in for the sucker!

Checking it out

She's not even worried about the wrapper. What a stinker!

*Don't worry we knew where this sucker came from. We didn't let her eat candy from some random person.

Our baby girl...not such a baby anymore.

Abilene Zoo

This is not a big zoo but it was just perfect for Chloe! She is absolutely loving all kinds of animals right now. It's so fun! She is constantly pointing at things and saying "What is this?"
Our first stop. This guy was enjoying the sun. He barely moved the whole time we were there.

"What is that?" flamingos

My precious niece and nephew! They are getting so big but it gets more fun everytime we see them! They are at such cute ages right now. Jadyn talks non stop but it soooooo cute!

Chloe thought she was big stuff the whole time we were there. She LOVES playing with her cousins! I didn't hold her much all weekend. She wanted to be down playing with the big kids!

This one is for you, Jody!!!

"what is that?" a bear

Chloe kept growling at him!

Chloe and Aunt JoJo...and baby #3 on the way! We can't wait to find out what she 's having. Jadyn is already counting on lil brother! This is the coolest and my favorite part of the entire zoo! The giraffes are so neat. They were feeding them crackers but the only problem was that Chloe kept trying to eat them herself.

His face is right there staring at you.

Not sure how I caught this picture but I like it a lot! Even the giraffe is posing for the picture!

Jody, Papa, Camden, Chloe, Jadyn and Nana I love you Camo

Can you tell we like the giraffe!?!

I love you Jade!!!

This is a new addition to the zoo. I'm not sure how long he's been there but I know it hasn't been long.

You can't really see the white tiger but he's back there.

Chloe and Jadyn are two peas in a pod. They are so cute together.

Chloe had to get one more look at the giraffe before we left.

15 Month Check-Up

Chloe had her 15 month check-up today and everything was just fine. Well, everything except Chloe knew the whole time what was coming. While it was just the two of us in the room every time she heard something outside the door she watched to make sure no one was coming. She didn't like getting weighed...measured...ears checked...heartbeat listened to...and so on. She cried almost the whole time and clung to me as much as she could. When the nurse came to give her the shots she knew what was about to h appen and wanted nothing to do with her. These are not fun times for a mom. I hate every second of it but there's not much you can do. Anyhow, she survived and got to go to the toychest.
She now weighs a little over 25 pounds and is almost 32 inches long. She has grown a ton since her last appointment! No wonder she's breaking my hip! I'm not going to be able to keep toting her around much longer.

Linde Lovin'

Mike and Linde came into town last weekend and we got to spend some time playing! They are at such a cute age right now to play together! They just took turns following each other around and of course they always wanted the toy that the other one was playing with! I put them in this chair to attempt to get them to be still enough to get a picture. Chloe immediately starts trying to hug Linde. She can be such a little lovey girl! Too sweet!
Checking her out!

Going in for the snuggle!

What cuties! It is so funny how completely opposite these two are! I don't know that they have anything in common other than the fact that they are both girls! It is so fun to watch them. Linde gives Chloe some faces that are hilarious. Let me tell you, if looks could kill...

Here's one of her faces!!!

Playing with the MagnaDoodle. Chloe carried this thing around all night and she was actually drawing on it. We just might have to have one of these.

Nana's lil prisoners! They kept hiding behind this rocking chair from Nana. She was tickling and chasing them and they were loving every minute of it!

Chris taught them how to crawl behind the couch so of course this became a big game. You could always tell exactly where they were because the curtains would move with them as they went behind!

Here comes TROUBLE!!!!!

Seven Acre Woods

Me and my baby girl
Chloe and her daddy. Such a sweet picture!

Looking at the goats. Chloe likes any kind of animal until it gets too close!

15 Month Pictures

These last 2 are my FAVORITES!!! I can't believe we got any that were good. She wouldn't be still long enough to take a picture. She was ALL over the place!
