Gettin around

Things have been changing very quickly for little Chloe these last few weeks. She started waving out of the blue, and then just as quickly stopped. It was the cutest thing. Now she very often puts her hand to her head while she is playing, like she is thinking "this is hard work". She loves playing on the floor. She isnt crawling yet, she sort of scoots and drags herself around. She definetly gets to where she wants to go though....She had been getting better at sitting. We would give her just a little support. And then a few weeks ago out of the blue she was sitting solo!!! Bending over and grabbing toys like she was an old pro. She is babbling up a storm, very loudly at times. She actually sounds like she is talking. There are a few times where she sounds like she is saying Dada. Coincidence right? Except that last night jon was standing in the doorway to the living room, and she looked right up at him and said Dada!!! Hmmmm.......

Playoff baseball this time of year, and thankfully the Yankee's are back into it. These late night nail biting games have proven to be stressful, not only for me but Chloe as well....

So I had been on the hunt the last few weeks for a hat and glove, for winter, for the bean. Well can you believe that I couldnt find anything decent anywhere. I think they, meaning the fashon world, think that babies her age want to be confined into a one piece marshmellow puff nightmare! Not this kid, so to forgo the screaming nightmare it would become to put her in one of these things, hat and gloves with jacket was my great idea. Of course even though it was 40 degress in buffalo in the beginning of October, I cant find anything anywhere. So we settled for something adorably cute, but way to big...

Notice the mitten still attached!!

So what do you suppose you do with a 8 month old for Halloween. You really cant trick or treat anywhere, she is tiny. And since iur family isnt close by to pretend to trick or treat, we had some friends over for the Yankee's game and for baby play time. Chloe's little friend Ava came for a visit as well as baby to be Keil. Chloe was a pea in the pod, or a bean sprout, which ever. And little Ava was a giraffe. They were less than thrilled to be in these hot costumes for pictures but made the best of it.
