Guess who is 2!!!!!

On November 25, our sweet little lady turned two! Matt, myself, and his parents went to chuck e cheese. She had fun! We will officially celebrate on Saturday at her birthday party!

First Dentist Appointment!

Today was Chloe's very first dentist appointment at Snodgrass Dental. She loved their waiting room with stuffed animals, a lego table, tvs, and a fish tank, but wasn't so happy about getting her teeth brushed. They had a tv on the ceiling, but she still cried. She also cried during the dentists exam. Luckily, it was a very quick visit. She is to go back in December.
After the dentist, we had a playdate with Jennifer and Ryan Ladd!!!! I went to nursing school with Jen and Ryan is 1 1/2 months older than Chloe. We went swimming and as always, Chloe had a blast!

Update! 18 months

Okay, I am a little late! She turned 18 months on May 25. I am going to do this by categories and see how it goes.
Teeth: 10 (6 on top, 4 on bottom)
Foods: Nu nus (noodles), strawbewies, cook cooks (cookies), oranges (which she doesn't call anything), nana (banana), mik (milk), apple juice (yes, just a few days ago she started saying the whole word)
Mainly her menu looks like this: Breakfast- 1 banana, milk, cheerios in cup and snacks on cheerios in morning
Lunch- pasta pick up ravioli
strawberries
Snack- random
Dinner- pasta pick up ravioli or gerber graduate macaroni, or spaghetti rings, or what we are eating
mandarin oranges
She doesn't like veggies still.
Sleeping: She naps usually once a day in the afternoon around 1 and goes to bed at 9.
Bedtime routine: Barney, bottle, night, night britches (size 5 diapers), jammies, and then bed
Diapers: Size 3
Clothing: some 6-12 months- especially bottoms, and 12-18 months
She is very talkative and happy.
She usually is very well tempered except when she gets tired and she bites and pinches!
Loves to give kisses and say "bye bye" and "hi" to everyone and everything!
Just the other day she cracked us up. We were in bed and had put Chloe in it with us hoping we didn't have to get up yet. Matt tooted and Chloe made a farting noise with her mouth and said, "I tooted!" We were cracking up!
Another one of my favorite things she says. Sometimes she says, "Hi, mommy." I always respond, "Hi, Chloe." She recently started saying, "Hi, mommy. Hi, Chloe." Her pronounciation of Chloe is without the l sound.
I couldn't love her more!

What is on the agenda? You got it!!!! Swimming!

Vittoria, Shae, Chloe and I

Today, Chloe and I went swimming with friends from our Murfreesboro Mom and Babes group at another subdivision. Of course, Chloe was busy keeping everyone on their toes! She loves to jump and put her head under water and actually seems to hold her breath a majority of the time. Since I have endured a couple of pool trips with her and this no longer gives me a heart attack, it actually is pretty cute and impressive for a baby that is 18 months old! Then we went home for nap time and then to The Avenue for a bit. Then back to our pool after dinner! There we played with her beloved "Ry Ry" and "Jack Jack", which are our neighbors children. She keeps Chloe when I work and has known them since I went back to work at 3 months.

Watch out pool! Here we come!!!

Today is a great day to relax and have fun in the sun. So far, we have been to our neighborhood pool once and Patterson Park community center pool once. We plan to have many more pool days! We are on our way there now!

Almost 16 months!

She is growing way too fast! Chloe says many words. One of her favorites is Barney! Oh how she loves Barney... she says it like this... Bahney. What other words does she say... there is no way I can remember them all, but I will list what I can. She says, eat, Barney, nu nu (noodle), titty (kitty), puppy, Ry Ry (for her friend Rilyn), Jack Jack (for Jackson), Debbie, mommy, momma, daddy, cup, ju ju (for juice), duck, birdie, that that, ni ni (night night), yes, okay, no no, cook cook (for cookie), pay (for play), outside, toe, shoe, quack quack, woof, moo, ssss (for snake hissing), ah ah (for monkey noises), bite, nana (for banana), side (for slide), funny, and will repeat most words. She talks so much. She likes to be free and run around on her own and also has moments where she just wants to be held. Naptime is very random these days. She sometimes naps in the morning, sometimes just in the evening. She always takes at least one nap and sometimes two. She sleeps well throughout the night. She LOVES eating. What does she eat? Just about everything. She is not a big fan of veggies and really will only eat a bite here or there. She likes chicken, turkey, and LOVES fruit (mainly strawberries and bananas). For breakfast she usually eats a banana, cheerios, milk, and a baby granola bar. For lunch she eats usually whatever mommy is eating and the same for dinner. She sometimes eat gerber graduates meals or beechnut meals, but is getting away from these. She Loves to feed herself yogurt. She eats many snacks a day. She still loves bathtime. She loves to play outside. We just got a wagon last week and we have been enjoying it! She likes riding in it and throwing toys out along the ride. She loves to slide and giggles when she does it. She has 8 teeth now. She is such a joy!

My Sweet Little Girl

When I see Chloe's newborn photos, I see how much she has grown so fast! Today she reminded me how big she is getting by reaching out for my hand. She always reaches out for me, but for me to hold her. Today, we went to Discovery Center to a class called Parents and Tots and afterwards stayed to play. She like the freedom that Discovery Center allows me to give her, but they were doing lots of cleaning today and had some things roped off so I grabbed her hand to keep her away from the roped off area when we were walking by. Not to long after that, she reached out for my hand to hold. So sweet! I love this little girl so much!

Sorry for the Looooongggg break!

I haven't posted in a while so here is what Chloe is doing now:
She has 6 teeth! 4 on top, 2 on the bottom!
She eats gerber graduates- her favorite is pasta pickups (ravioli), mandarin oranges, bananas, cheerios, and pretty much whatever we eat, drinks juice, drinks whole milk and is being weaned from mommy's milk. She loves to share her food with Fonzie, our two year old boxer!
She says many words! Some include, mommy, daddy, eat, juice, duck, ball, book, debbie, nana (for banana), baba (a nickname we have for elvis), shoe, and makes animal noises, such as ah, ah, ah, for a monkey, quack, quack, arf, arf, ssss (for a snake and more I can't recall at the moment.
She is very sweet and constantly is giving love. She kept making kissing noises to me today- so cute!
She loves putting things around her neck, like a scarf. Today, she took a usb cord and was putting it around her neck, then around Elvis's and laughing hysterically. She is so silly!
She loves bath time! We still use the pink baby bathtub for this.
I love her more than anything! Here are some pics from today. She is playing with a monkey my secret valentine gave to her and putting it in her train!
