Chloe's checkup

She is getting so big. She weighed 16lbs 14oz (with a diaper though :) when I took her to the dr this week. They said that she wasn't any longer but they were not doing it right and the nurse would not remeasure. Weird nurse. They let her move when they were marking the paper. I KNOW she is longer than she was 2 months ago. They said she was growing great.

Chloe was Sleepy

Guess she was tired.... she fell asleep in her chair. Poor thing. Of course, Darrell had to get her pic instead of picking her up. He was laughing at her but I yelled at him :) I went and got her. She stayed asleep even with all the moving. That means she was REALLY sleepy.....

Snowfall

We had about 4 inches of snow today. Andrew was ready to go out and make his snowman by 8 o'clock this morning. It was cold so Darrell had to be the one to do that. They had fun out there. Chloe and I only made it out to take a couple of pictures.
Here he is telling me what he has to do to get ready-

Making a snowman. He has been collecting sticks in the yard for weeks and saving them to make snowman arms. He was so excited to be able to use them. We also had yellow frosted cookie eyes, cheese nose, beer top buttons and candy hearts for the mouth. Too cute.

Andrew shoveling. Darrell said he spent almost an hour shoveling.

The Artic Cat going through the snow. It did really well on it.

Gracie also got in on their fun. She starting crying the first time they went out and left her inside while they got their stuff ready. Too funny. She tore around out there.

And then last but not least, Chloe just being cute.

9 Month Pics

I took Chloe to get her pic taken on Friday. She did really good even though I woke her up from her nap.

Being Silly

Poor Chloe

You would think Darrell could wipe her eye off instead of taking her pic. She woke up from her nap, he brought her downstairs, took her pic and then decided he could help her poor eye..... (he really does love her I think). I hate sleepy eyes. Poor thing.

Look What

Chloe can do- She still tips but does really good.

I so wish this had come out better. He was trying to kiss her and she was just laughing away.

And one just because it is so cute.

Big Girl

in her high chair. We pulled it out of the attic since she was getting sick of the exersaucer while we were eating. She looks so small compared to what Andrew looked like. She gagged on her puff so guess she is not ready for that yet.

Few Videos

of Chloe talking. I wish I could bottle her up and keep her the same size. This is one of the best ages I think (even if I am exhausted). She usually talks so softly but you can here the baby talk on here some. She loves that the new toy I got her that she can sit in front of and hit the things. She will sit there for 30 minutes or so.

Chloe

She looks so cute. She may kill me one day though :)

Nice n Shiny

That is what Andrew said he did to my car today. Looks nice. It is so warm here. I can't believe we can wash cars 3 days before the new year.

Chloe's new hat

looks so cute on her. I love the flower.

Christmas Day

Santa came today. He brought the kids a ton of new things including a new Artic Cat for Andrew, a helmet that he loves and a couple things that make noise for Chloe. We had a nice day here and were actually able to eat dinner on the porch which was good since we had extra people. Here are some of the pics. I am still loading some but it is taking forever :)

Santa came to our house

and ate cookies and left gifts :)..... good night... more pics tomorrow......

Christmas Eve

We had a great day today. Santa came a bit early at Oma and Grandpa's house. We opened gifts over there after lunch. Steve got Andrew his bike back in Nov when he was here and we had him open it yesterday. He did really well with it. We actually returned the 16" and got him the 12". I am so glad that we did that because the bigger one would have been way too big for him right now. Can't wait to stand in line at Toys R Us next week to return it :) He also spent quite a long time trying to "fix" it today which included trying to figure out how to adjust the seat himself. Here are some pics from our day. Chloe wanted to eat paper and bows and Andrew loved the ball popper that she got.
