Has it really been five months? It is amazing how quickly time goes by when you have a little one around. Over Christmas break I started on Chloe's scrapbook and was astonished with how much she has changed since the day she entered our lives. She is learning to sit up on her own and is making new noises that sound more and more like words. On Christmas day her little gums started getting ready for the appearence of teeth so for the second week of break, we were fighting the evil teething fairy. We haven't seen one of the white treasures yet but it isn't too far away. With teething has come the inability to sleep so Barrett surprised us with a Glider for the nursery...quite possibly one of the greatest inventions ever. I felt like goldilocks switching out every chair in the house to help get our little Bug asleep but Daddy brought us one that was just right. Bless him.
Chloe is in the awkward clothing stage where 6 months is too big and 3 months is too small so everything looks funny on her. She is so cute that she can pull it off. I am kind of in that stage too though...pre pregnancy is still a little too small and pregnancy is HUGE...why can't I be as cute as Chloe?
Chloe now has full function of her hands and grabs everything. Nothing is safe from her grasp. She also leans to grab something she really wants, especially phones and remotes. OH NO TECHNOLOGY IS TAKING OVER MY BABY! Just kidding; she likes the colors and lights. She rolls over with ease now, tries to sit up on her own, tries to hold her bottle by herself, chews and sucks on everything, holds her hands and feet together, and plays with her hair and rubs her eyes when she is sleepy. Chloe also refuses to lay down or sit if there is an option to stand and jump around. She is a mover like her daddy and a sleeper like me. The best of both worlds.
Well, that was a lot of information to say that Chloe is happy and healthy and we are enjoying everything minute of watching our little miracle. Thank you all for your prayers! Much love!
Loving the updates. They make us feel like we're getting to know Chloe, even though we haven't met her yet. :) Can't wait for that! Love you guys!
