Seven Months and Counting

We have some big news going on here in our town...get ready...its huge...the new free standing Chick-fila opened today. There were some morons who sat outside for twenty four hours to win free chick fila for a year. I mean really people...is the chicken that good? Yesterday I went to the ribbon cutting with a friend who is a member of the chamber. As they were introducing the manager and his wife, they also introduced their new nine week old baby. So tiny, so sweet, SO QUIET! I had to laugh a little thinking about just seven months ago when I had this quiet, tiny little girl who didnt make a peep. And then I thought about my conversation this morning with my SEVEN MONTH OLD. As she screamed at me with a grin, I asked her if she liked her outfit she was wearing (I loved it...thanks mimi) she squealed at me again. Then when I told her no because she wants to get out of her bouncer seat (toy about to be retired) she looked at me and raised her eyebrows and did it again, as if to say...what are you gonna do about it lady! I laughed (out loud this time) and thought about that little baby again at chick fila. Here I sit 7 months later, with a child who has her own opinion about almost everything. A child who thinks she needs to yell at her doggies and a child who has developed such a precious personality. I miss that little quiet baby, but I am glad she is so enthusiatic about her life. I have decided to post some pictures to remind everyone of what she started out like and where we are now. I promise I did not return the old baby for a new one, her hair just went from black to light brown. So enjoy the update in the Meeks life, as we try to figure out how to deal with our new problems of wanting to crawl, wanting out of our bouncer seat all the time and needing to go ALL THE TIME. She is also enjoying the warm days playing outside (as well as Oscar the super weiner dog) and her new favorite toy...the remote control.





This is Chloe on the day we came home from the hospital and at just a few weeks old...!







This is Chloe NOW... Happy 7 Months Little Princess! You are the most precious gift God has ever given us. We love you and your little personality more than you will ever know. Mimi and Pop used to tell me that I would understand when I had one of my own...they were right! I could stand and stare at you for hours and somehow you are growing up right before my eyes. You have ALMOST spent as much time outside, as you did inside mommies tummy. i love you little peanut!
