Friends, Fun and jogging

Not alot happening at our house these days, although it does seem like were ALWAYS busy. So we must be doing something. I think I am starting some sinus throat junk which I am not liking. Chloe is doing great. Her boyfriend Ethan came to visit last week and they enjoyed talking at and over each other and stared deeply into each others eyes, when Ethan decided that brown stuff on the top of Chloe's head looked like fun to play with. I am pretty sure that they both think that we got them moving toys that sound like them. But they were cute together. I think Summer and I both are in disbelief that they are ours. It seems like yesterday we were griping about the woes of pregnancy and now here they are laughing with each other. There is also some pictures of her sporting her Reebok running suit. Although she cant even sit up on her own she looked like she could run in the olympics. I think it was one of my favorite outfits. Well I am posting pictures for the two of you to see how she is changing and see her and her boyfriend on their first date.

Milestones from the Meeks

My daughter is now getting old enough that she is doing things that I can write about. You know, instead of the usual post, she is laying there smiling and looking cute. We have actually had some rather big events at our house. Not big in comparison to say, the Presdient staying with us, but BIG for us. First, we have had our first baby food; pears and apples. WE LOVE THE PEARS. Before we can even get the spoon reloaded she is got her mouth open yelling to us to get more in. We decided to make this jump as she was eating about 6 oz every two hours and the doctor thought it was time. Now we eat three meals a day and a bottle at night. It is messy but fun to watch her enjoy it. Which brings us to our next big news, she is sitting in her high chair. She loves to sit in it, wether eating or sitting by mom while she cooks dinner, she kicks back and enjoys herself. Third, we sat in our excersaucer and as you can see from the look on her face, she thinks she is big. And last but not least...we are teething. It is offical, chewing, nawing and screaming if her teeth hurt her. Thank god for children's tylenol. Well that is our big news! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Baby Bumbo to the Rescue

As previously discussed in prior blogs my child likes to sit up...all the time...lest she might fall asleep or be an actual baby. So I took advice from Amber who suggested a baby bumbo. Her daughter Jacy has one and loves it. I now owe Amber my quite evenings. Yesterday our baby Bumbo arrived and as eager parents we stuck our little couch potatoe in it. She loves to sit and watch television in the evenings. We put her in it, put her in front of the television...and I think we created a monster. She was BIG and man she felt it. She knew she was sitting on her own, and she was proud of it. We have the most hilarious picture of her watching television that I will have to post. She can sit in this to eat, she can sit in it in the mornings while I am getting ready, just whenever. She loves to sit up and now she can...all on her own. I must admit though, there is some sadness, that at only three months old she already has no desire to let me cuddle her. Although last night at around nine o'clock she let me hold her like a baby and fell asleep against me with those fat little cheeks. Still is the best moment of my day looking at that little face peaceful and happy. Another thing that was so cute, is when she was sitting in her Bumbo in the middle of her dad and I and she looked over at Jeremy, like "look at me dad" smiled and then laid her head on him. It was just to precious. It was as if she was saying...thanks dad for my cool new seat, see how big I am. What a precious angel baby I was blessed with. Thank you God for my angel you sent here to earth.

Channeling Michelle

Ok ladies, those of you not interested in golf you might want to skip down to the part about baby. This weekend I played golf...a lot of golf. And you know what...I AM ADDICTED. I understand how men can spend hours out there. It feels great, it is excersise, it is fun. Sorry ladies for betraying our loyalty to golf hating but I really did enjoy it. I am actually looking forward to getting off work so that I can take Chloe out there and hit balls. We did that a couple times too and she loves being out there in her strolle on such beautiful days, she is just happy and talking. It is a fun family outing. Anyways enough about that.
This weekend when I wasnt golfing I was being a mommy and love that even more. She is developing such a sweet personality and loves to talk to her daddy and I, and if we didnt already know it, she is letting us know, she is big and in charge. She loves to sit up and watch television she loves to eat and she loves to talk. If we prohibt any of these things she lets us know very loudly. She wore the sweetest GAP overalls today, I just love her in overalls, that is why she has so many of them. But last night in her little pjs was the best, she ate her cereal and fell asleep on my chest. She smelled so good, looked so peaceful and sweet. I could have just eaten her little cheeks off. As promised here are some pictures of my daisy duke: She fell asleep with her hat like that. She was just chillin'. :)

The Fight of The Daisy

Well our trip to the costume carnival was not a successful one, infact, it never even took place. Chloe decided she did not like her costume and it made her somewhat mad to have to wear it. Who knows maybe she would have rather been a pink daisy. Well we kept her in it long enough to get some pictures which I will post later. She look absolutely precious this morning when she went to school. She was wearing a precious pair of Osh Kosh overalls and a pink gap onesie with her pink daisy rattle socks. She really is an overall kind of girl. I wish I could just figure out what to do with all that crazy hair. It cant pull it in a ponytail because it is like feathers, the back is getting longer and longer, but it is just like mine in that it parts distinctly to one side so I can sort of pin a bow on one side but that looks kind of silly. Oh the woes of being a mommy to a girl. This is only the beginning. She is sweet and wonderful and everyday discovers something new that she loves about herself; ie, her feet, her voice and her hands. I am thankful everyday for my little blessing she holds me together when things are crazy.
