5 1/2 months and crawling

Chloe has been trying to figure out crawling for a few weeks. She would get on her hands and knees and move her knees, but kept her hands on the ground. The last few days she has started moving her hands, but kept her knees where they were. But last night she figured out she had to do them both together. It was a slow and thoughtful crawl, but she did it. Help me!

Earlier this week, we went to Kiddie Kandids and got Chloe's picture taken for my mom and Christophe's mom's birthdays. I couldn't wait for their actual birthdays to give them there picture though. Below are the picture that we got.

Chloe

Chloe went into her 4 month appointment yesterday. She is now 11 lbs 1 ounce and 23 inches long. So she is still little but is getting bigger.

Blessing

Yesterday we blessed Chloe. It was really nice. Thanks to all the family and friends that came. It was a really nice day.



Here is Chloe and William playing after church. I looks like Chloe had the cooler toys to play with, sorry William.

Work

So Christophe finally found a job (YAY!!!) that started a month ago, I know I'm a little slow at posting this. He works for TruGreen, it is a lawn care place. He goes door to door to sale the service. The week before he started I went back to work. I had to work full time that week, but from then on, I got to go part time. Which works out perfectly, almost. I go to work from 8:00 to about 11:40 and Christophe works 11:50 to 9:00 Monday through Thursday and 9:00 to 6:00 on Fridays. So once I am off work, I meet him at his work and we switch cars and I go home with Chloe. It is nice only having to worry about finding someone to watch Chloe 1 day a week for just a few hours. If I had to work to pay for daycare, I don't think I could make myself go work. It has been very nice so far because we have had either family or friends be able to watch her. And Christophe's mom is planning on watching her for most Fridays for the rest of the summer. Family is great!!

Smiles

I get a lot of good smiles everyday now, but whenever I pull out my phone to take a picture, Chloe stops smiling. So here are a couple half smiles that I have been able to capture.

2 Months

I can't believe that Chloe will be 2 months old tomorrow. It is kind of crazy. Here are a couple of cute pictures that Christophe took on his phone. I love the second one. She has started to smile, but I haven't gotten it on camera yet. . .

Birthday

Today is Christophe and Ian's birthday. Jenny, her family, Matt, his family and Daniel all came to Mom and Dad's to celebrate. We had pizza, cupcakes and ice cream. Then Ian opened his presents. While the kids where playing with the new toys, the adults either went down stairs to watch basketball or stayed upstairs and played Trivial Pursuit on the Xbox. We had a lot of fun. We then compared Chloe and William. William is a little bigger, but they are close in size. Here are a couple picture of them.





This next picture is of Chloe in her Sunday dress last week. I just think she was so cute in it, but I'm not biased or anything.
