Rockstar.....Diva?

So funny story....a few weeks ago there was a photographer that was scheduled to come to daycare. They come twice a year. Very convienient. So I get Chloe into nice cloths and put her in cut pig tails for the pictures. Usually she has breakfast....picture time, snack and nap....The teacher informed me when I picked her up that day that she put up a bit of a stink over the pictures...I am thinking stink? Well apparently she would not attend the picture event until she was properly fed and well rested. She practically demanded an extra snack time, and extra nap and then had to attend pictures at another time with another class!!! And then she had the nerve to not smile!!! I dont have the pic to post, but the photographer tells me when I picked up the picture that he tried everthing he couldto get her to crack a smile....nothing...of course when we picked up the pictures...she had to show him, and show it off...crazy beans.
She loves to dance. Everytime there is a commercial on with even the slightest music in the background she is going to town. And not just normal swaying that kids do...She is all out, hips, shoulders and the whole nine. I am always singing to her, and below is an example of the Dancing Queen.

Mothers Day and beyond.....

Chloe has been a busy little beaver these last few weeks...She is changing so much right before our very eyes. I finally trimmed her hair to even it out and it killed me!! What she had going on was, since she had so much hair at birth, it grew really long on top. But the sides and back wore off when she was a baby, so eventually her top was really long and hund down to her shoulders!! And the rest was short. It did look funny and she couldnt really wear it down so I bit the bullet. She looked like a completely different kid. But now she has a cute little bob! She seems to be growing by leaps and bounds and looks to be getting taller. On the scale at home she is topping out at a whopping 20.5 lbs. Our little peanut. She eats more that I do, not sure where it all goes. the las few weeks she has started walking. She does not have the confidence to fly solo yet and is still furniture walking but she can do it. Jon and I practise with her and she will walk 15-20 steps all alone and she gets so excited at the end, her feet go to fast and she falls forward!! So cute.
She has sort of been acting like the terrible twos are happening already at only 14months! She throws tantrums when she doesnt get her way. And everytime we head to her room to change clothes or diaper its like world war three! She twists and squirms and crys...like I am killing her. And then when we are done she is fine. She is such a ham. Laughs and giggles at everything, and is ticklish everywhere!! Its so funny, she flashes her teeth and has that sparkle in her eye. Her molars are mostly in....whew...thats been a long road.
For mothers day we went to the Strong Museum to meet up with Aunt Kate, Uncle Mike, Violet, Kolton, Aunt Liz, kalyssa, Kai, Bray, spencer, Tim, Gram Mary and Gramp Al!! What a crew, and we had a great time. Here are some pics....
Chloe is here in the mini wegmans, piing her choices off of her shopping list. She was loving pushing the cart around. And had already pushed her stroller all over the museum.
More shopping. I dont think she knows yet she has to put it all back! There are no helping hands here.

She had a ball here with this exhibit. The teeth pulled out and made great noises. And she loved moving that toothbrush around all the big teeth....I am hoping denistry and early retirement!







Here she is in a baby play place, safely away from all the big kids. There was a sort of bridge with a incline and decline ramp that she kept going up and down and up and down. And of course when it was time to move on....world war 3!






Tryin g to have tea and crumpets...violet is not amused.






More kid play place.




Here we are riding the train with Aunt Kate and Kolt...they were not amused.....
