My little gamer

Chloe has figured out that if you push buttons on the xbox 360 remote, things happen on the TV. She love to do it too. What can I say, she takes after her father.

A girl after my own heart

So Chloe really loves to put things in her mouth. Normal baby. She really loves to put shiny metal things in her mouth, silverware, watches, necklaces. A few weeks ago we went out to lunch with my Dad and Mom and Uncle Ben. Ben was finished eating and holding Chloe on his lap and this is what happened. . .



Yep, that's right, she is eating salt. She is her mother's daughter. OK OK, she is not eating the salt, just the lid that is shiny and silver.



This is a picture of Grandpa helping her opening her first present. Thanks Aunt Tricia for the Christmas book.

Happenings

Chloe was Minnie Mouse for Halloween. I know I am a little slow at getting this posted. But here are a couple pictures of her all dressed up.


I also got another video of her walking, it has been a few weeks since the last one, and she is walking a lot better now. She doesn't crawl very often anymore, it is mostly walking with a few falls in between.

Not much else has happened or is going on. Just work in the mornings and come home and play with my little cutie.

Race

So some people in my family think that it is a race to see who walks first, Lincoln or Chloe. But it is one race that both Elizabeth and I hope the other one wins. I know right now, they are about at the same place, taking a few steps. Go Lincoln go!!

Anyways, the last time Tricia was home Chloe was tarting to stand on her own. She asked me when Chloe started walking if I would take a video and put it on the blog. Well, it isn't exactly walking, just a taking a few steps. Usually it is just a few steps and the she falls, like below.

But sometimes, if she is going towards something she wants, she will take a few more. (Don't pay attention to the paper towel she is stepping on. There have been a lot of Box Elder bugs in my house and that night I had to keep something handy in case I saw one low enough for me to get, and Chloe had just pulled it down from the couch.)

Lydia

Lydia came up to Utah with some of Andy's family. We got to go out to lunch with Grandma, Aunt Jane and Daniel. Here are a couple pictures of Lydia, Grandma and Chloe.

Pics

I have taken a few pictures of Chloe in the last few week. Here are a couple of them.


Yes in a couple of them, she is standing on her own. She can do that for about 15 to 20 seconds on her own before she catches herself or falls. In this last one, she got so tired that when Christophe picked her up, she fell asleep. (Yes she drools a ton!!)

Stinker

Chloe is such a big stinker. We are trying to get her used to her crib, so she will sleep in there at night. Yesterday, while Christophe was in there she did this. . .


We knew she could stand herself up, but this is the first time that she climbed up the bumper to make herself higher. So you say it is time to lower my crib, it is already on the lowest setting. And just now as I am writing this, she found a small crack between the couch and the wall and started crawling through it, and got stuck and started fussing. My cute stinker is exploring a lot more lately.

This is just a video of her crawling a few days ago.
