Birthday

Chloe turned a year old a month ago tomorrow. We were going to have a party for her on February 21st, but for certain reasons we postponed it. We ended up having a party with my family for all three babies with birthday's three weeks apart. Melissa was nice enough to make cakes for each baby.

Otto and William both dug into their cakes, but Chloe didn't want anything to do with her cake.

Here are some pictures of after they got done eating the cake. Poor Chloe, just didn't want any. :0(

A little over a week later, we celebrated with Christophe's family. My mom came too. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures. That time Chloe at a little more cake, but not much. Here are some pictures of Chloe on her birthday with some balloons that Uncle Ben, Aunt Shari and Aunt Pat got her. Thanks you guys, she loved them.

Memories

Like Elizabeth, this is the only form of a journel I keep, so I want to write these few memories I have of my dad and Chloe. I figured I could write them easier then I could tell them.

For the last several months I have been going to my parents' house on Saturdays. Sometimes when I went my dad would be sitting on the couch reading his scriptures or another church book. Chloe was usually asleep when we got there, so I would leave her in her car seat in the living room with my dad. When she would make the slightest peep, Dad would jump up and get her out.

On other occasions I would have her in a high chair eating grahm crackers, a few times she would have eaten all of them, so Dad would get her out and take her to the sink to wash her hands and face. Once that was done, he would "sneak" downstairs so they could go watch college football together. I would go down to check on them a little while later and Dad had usally given Chloe his watch to eat and play with. Those are just a few stories of Dad and Chloe.
