Moving right along

THis picture does not mean that she is going to be a Cheerleader!




Well we have reached the 7month milestone. Moving right along with the baby food. I cant believe the choice that are out there: turkey dinner, mac and cheese, pasta primavera! Are the serious. Should 7month olds be eating this stuff? We stick to fruit and veggies. We are working on a sippy cup with water in it. She is so funny trying to coordinate holding it with two hands and lifting it up to suck..she is getting it. So talkative these days. It actuallty sounds like she is saying something, she just babbles on and on over and over again.

September 09




9/2 Had our doctor checup for 6 monthes old!! She is 15.6 pounds and is 25.5 inches long. Things are going good and we got the green light to start baby food. And of course we started her on green beans which she enjoyed. She didnt really seem to need much adjustment, she was ready for it. She had been watching our food intently for weeks. She is rolling over so much better now, back and forth with ease. We are still working on sitting up. She is getting there!
9/4 We went on a trip tp see Aunt Kate, Uncle Mike and Violet. Chloe traveled suprisingly well. We werent sure what to expect with a 5+hr trip. But there were no issues. She either slept most of the way or gazed out of the window. Aunt Manda, Uncle Matt and Noah came down from vermont for a visit. So nice to see everyone and spend time together. I thought it would be a little hairy with the kids, but it was actually quite managable with their ages. Aunt Kate very nicely had all kinds of great things out for Chloe to play with. We thought we might meet skip this weekend, but no luck.

Chloe's hair gets so crazy sometimes he needs to be resqued. The closest thing was a clothespin!

9/6 we stopped in Rochester on our way back from Glens Falls to party with Caitlin. It was her birthday!! One quick pit stop on our way home. Chloe was able to see some family she hadnt seen in a while. It was a nice but short visit. And then finally home to Buffalo, we were exhausted.

9/15 Cousin Baby Taylor is born! Although we havent seen him yet we are there in spirit and hope to see him soon!!



9/21 My birthday. Normally Jon and I would have a nice romatic dinner out for our birthdays...Not so much. We did trekk her to Carabbas with us for dinner. Though we would take our chances. They actually had this handy sling apparatus that we could sit her carseat right in. We barely knew she was there, she was so good. She sat and talked and played with her toys. There was another baby in the resturant, a little older than Chloe, he was not behaving so well. Still waiting on baby skippy, thought he might be born on my birthday but nope...





9/23 Goodness gracious!! Finally, Baby Kolton is born! We have waited along time. Weighing in at a wopping 10.11 and 23.75 inches long. Better Aunt Kate than me! Cant wait to see Kolton in November when we head out for a visit!







9/26 Off to the Keils for October Fest. We found out that Alex and Mehgan are expecting a baby girl!! Yeah, another girl to add to the mix. chloe got to play with baby Ava. And biff of course.

9/28 Chloe has a cold!! She felt a little warm before daycare but not to bad. So we send her and of course they call me because she is as 102!! So off to the doc again, I am hoping not the flu. Turns out it was a sinus infection. Had to stay out of daycare a few days, and a few days of ABT and she was back to her old self...Jon and I were a little ragged though. Sick babies....not so good.

8/09 Continues




8/22 Uncle Jason, Aunt Julie, Eva and Declan came out for a trip to the zoo. It was very hot this day and Chloe spent most of the time snoozing in the stroller. I spent most of the time obsessively trying to keep her out of the sun! Her first trip inside the zoo to see all the animals. I was definetly more excited than she was. And then sad.....Chloe is very appropriately chewing on an elephant in this picture!

8/29 Aunt Laura was kind enough to babysit for us while we went to a wedding in Batavia. My friend Dana was getting married. It was actually the first time we had been out together, alone for any length of time other than a quick dinner or something. We had a blast at the wedding. Chloe was suposedly a good girl, I am not sure Laura would tell us otherwise. Definetly missed her but she was in very capable hands. And I only called once!! Thanks again Laura!
