Happy Birthday, Grandpa Bob!

I will try and get a cute picture a little later posted for grandpa Bob. Happy birthday, Grandpa Bob!!!! I hope today is a fun one for you and we will be thinking of you today!

Potty time!

I, like many of you, think the whole peeing on the potty thing was just a coincidence. But today, I really think it was on purpose! I was in the bathroom, and of course my little Chloe shadow was with me as mommy cannot be out of sight for more than .02 seconds. Chloe was grabbing her potty and pounding on the side, so I thought, Oh no... we cannot think this thing is a toy, so I put her on it. As soon as I did (seriously seconds after) she peed!!!! We celebrated with our yays and I proceeded to wipe her and clean the frog potty. She continued to play with it, so I stuck her back on it and she pooped! So, this will be the third time she has peed on it and the second time she has pooped with only one failed attempt at doing anything while being placed on it! Rock on my little 'princess' (as her grandma calls her)!
These days, Chloe is a busy little lady. She is crawling with speed and pulling up on everything. She dances (rather bounces up and down) to music and hums to it at times. Our only foods are still bananas, squash, and sweet potatoes. Trust me, we have tried peas, green beans, carrots, applesauce, and pears without success. She even vomited on our last attempt at carrots. She also eats the gerber puffs- we have only tried sweet potatoes and banana ones and of course the sweet potato ones are her favorite. She LOVES water! Bath time or swimming in the pool, she is happy! She loves to go outside- the child could be screaming at the top of her lungs and as soon as you step out the door she is silent with eyes wide open. She loves Fonzie (Elvis is fun too, but he is a bit aprehensive at times around her) and McKenzie the cat (although she sometimes runs away since Chloe forgets her nice pet and sometimes pulls on poor kitty's hair). Her favorite by far is still mommy. And of course she is my favorite as well!

Yay, Chloe!!!!!

Chloe peed on her potty for the first time today! I unwrapped her potty and set it out today. Chloe was grabbing at it, so I sat her on it and not even a minute went by before she peed! Coincidence? Probably. But I'll take it! I then cheered for her and called daddy!

Playing with friends!!!

Chloe had a fun time playing with Ryan and Livy Kate today! Ryan has so many toys! It is hard to believe Livy is walking, Ryan is crawling and pulling up, and well... Chloe is trying. She can scoot from place to place and go in reverse, but she hasn't quite mastered the whole crawling thing just yet. As far as Chloe's things she can do... say mama, dada, hey, grrr (growl), ssss (hiss), stick out her tongue, shake her head no no, and blow out... Matt calls it toot noises. She feeds herself Gerber puffs- so far we have tried the sweet potatoes and bananas and she likes them both. Tonight, I gave her a piece of a real green bean and she didn't act like she disliked it, so we may try that again soon. She will only eat sweet potatoes, squash, and bananas, and sometimes peas if you sneak them in her sweet potatoes. She eats well, just picky about what. Our biggest accomplishment is she is FINALLY sleeping in her crib! Yay! She has slept through the night twice in it. We have been working on it for two or three weeks now, but we are definately making progress! She all of the sudden refused to sleep in her swing, so we were forced to make the transition.

Gerber baby

I think she would make a pretty good Gerber baby... don't you!?! If so, vote once daily from each email address until July 31 to help Chloe win!
