long overdue updates...

I've been reminded how hard it can be to find a little time to post new pics and updates! Chloe is already a month old. She is a great baby! She is "waking up" more and more each day, and really seems to be taking in her surroundings now. She loves to study my face, and I swear I've seen some little smiles while playing our games! I love looking at her big, deep "Mediterranian blue" eyes. She is such a blessing.

Kaylee continues to be a huge help, usually. At night, when Kaylee is tired, she tends to demand more individual attention without Chloe present. Not surprisingly, Chloe's fussy time is generally between 5pm and 9pm as well. They like to double-team us! During the day, however, Kaylee loves to hold the baby, help change the baby, and will bring Chloe her doll's bottle when she is upset. She also tries to help by kissing Chloe's head and patting her belly when she is fussy. They are going to be great friends, I think.

Kaylee is growing like a weed, and is so smart. She amazes us with things she picks up from who-knows-where! She is showing more and more "pretend play", which of course I am so grateful to see! The other day, she pretended (unprompted by us) to wash Lucy-dog, including shampoo and rinsing with the hose. Lucy tolerated the pretend-wash better than the real thing. ;)

Here are some pics over the last month... of both girls!






Kaylee loves playing on the playscape!

I will work on some more pics later -- Chloe is calling me for snack-time!! :)

I'm glad that both of the girls are doing well. We do need to get together very soon! Chloe looks like she is much bigger than Jillian already. Give me a call so we can plan to get together 312-4019

The girls are precious! Having our job, there is probably nothing sweeter than seeing imaginative and interactive play :)

Two weeks until my due date and we are super excited!
