Play "Date"

Brennan was sweet enough to go in for the first kiss! They fed each other blueberries and strawberries!
He gave her drinks of her milk!
They had long talks on her bed!
They colored pictures together!

Chloe has a play "date" with her friend Brennan last Tuesday. Brennan is the son of my friend Michelle who i used to work with at McDonald Physical Therapy. Chloe and Brennan are 7 weeks apart but Brennan has always had a huge height and weight advantage over Chloe. Here are a few pictures i took during their day which i must add ended with a long nap! They were both worn out but had sooo much fun together!!

We're going to Disney World!!!!

It's official, we are taking our first family vacation! We booked our plane tickets last night to leave for 9 days and nights in Orlando, FL! We will leave on October 17, the day after our Anniversary, which is also our present to each other! I'm excited to start watching all the princess movies with Chloe and getting her excited, too! This is going to be a much needed vacation for all of us!!

Bayer Company picnic

On Saturday my dads work had their annual company picnic at the Bayer in Mishawaka. It was our first year going and we really didn't know what to expect. Much to our surprise we had a blast! There were about 5 bounce houses including a large slide Chloe and i went down several times. Our group included my dad, step-mom, my sister Laurie, my niece and nephew Gracie and Max, and of course Chloe and I. We started with lunch which was filled with lots of snowcones, cotton candy, and cookies--Max had his full share of sugar! It was also Chloes first time going in a bounce house by herself! I couldn't believe how well she kept her balance!

Big Girl Bed!!

There have been two nights that i can recall since Chloe was born that she has slept the WHOLE night in her own bed! This is starting to takes it toll on Bobby and I. I blame myself for falling asleep in our bed while i was nursing Chloe as a baby. Now that she know just how comfortable our bed is she doesn't want to be anywhere else! (Not to mention she is sleeping with her two favorite people:)) We decided to go ahead and get her a big girl bed keeping our fingers crossed that it would be the answer to our prayers of Chloe sleeping on her own!! So far, so good....two nights down, i'll update more later!!

4th of July!!

I love the fact that 4th of July was on a Friday this year!! It was an extra long weekend and it couldn't have come at a better time! We celebrated the 4th by going to a Parade in my sisters neighborhood, along with cousins Gracie and Max! After the parade there were donuts and carnival games where Grace and Chloe were lucky enough to win a fish!! Bobby, Chloe, and I came home for the afternoon and worked out back on the yard! We ended the day at a cookout at my sisters where we watched amazing fireworks for a neighborhood!!! Can't even imagine how much they cost!!! Chloe loved the fireworks--i was happy for that!! All in all it was a very nice day!!

Watching Wonder Pets and Combing Bears' Fur!

These are just a couple of pictures i wanted to post of Chloe! The top one is how she likes to watch her favorite cartoon, Wonder Pets, with her favorite friends, Linny, Ming-Ming, Bear, Doggy, and Kitty-Kitty! Below is a picture of her the other day brushing Bears fur with Daddy's comb! I can't get over how fast time flies and how big she is getting! She is such a JOY!!!

Working on the Backyard!!

One of the reasons we fell in love with our new house is the HUGE backyard! Bobby started the designing almost immediately, which included a large sand pit for Chloe to enjoy! With much anticipation, we finally got the sand dumped into the box this past Sunday!! I know how much fun Chloe is going to have in her sand box...but i think even more fun is to be had by Bobby and I watching her outside!! Here, Chloe and Bobby sit by the waterfall and enjoy their surroundings!
