Come with me to a time in the not so distance past....

Chloe, coming fresh out of her evening bath, was being a particularly cheeky ham, dancing around the living room in the buff to the jangles of her music table. Being brought almost to tears by the beauty of the moment, I grabbed the camera next to me and flipped it to video mode. In the 4 seconds I spent focused on turning the camera on, she must have pooped. After a few moments of filming her cute nude dance, she paused, pointed at the ground, and picked up, what, through the diminished view of camera's finder, appeared to be a small toy... but no... it was her own poop. She dance-ground a large turd into our carpet and picked up another in her tiny little baby hand. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of all of this... good thing I have it all on video to a)prove that the 'movement' did not actually occur under my ever so watchful gaze.... and to b)show to her future husband at just the right moment.

History of De-twah.

We took a little trip to the Detroit Museum of History this weekend.

The history of Better Made.... best chips evvvveerrrr.

A sweet little pioneer garden. Sometimes I forget how tiny she is!

A "but".

Riding in... and turning the crank of an old time Ford.

Workin' 9 to 5 on the car line.


A tour on the old streets of Detroit.

....where Chloe fell madly in love with a horse.

All tuckered out.

She's got the pox, I tell ya

Chloe was recently exposed to chicken pox.
I ran to Target as fast as my little legs could carry me to stock up on cotton balls, calamine, oatmeal bath, motrin and benedryl.... here's why.

She got 3 of these, which disappeared the next day. We are such suckers.

Snow Day

It recently warmed up a bit and so Chloe had her first day in the snow. She thought it was hilarious. But, of course, she didn't really smile for the camera.

BFFs

Isaac - or 'Ike' as Chloe calls him - has been a regular at our house 2 days a week... but we basically see him daily! We just love him! These two are the best of friends. Chloe calls for him while he's away and cries when he leaves.

Mostly they like to sit in Chloe's new wagon.... or be pulled around our 1000 sq. ft. mansion.



Dance.


Wave at the mail man.


Give each other rides in the mini wagon.


They're probably in love. I know I am with both of them!

An apple a day

We are very big on breakfast eating at our house. It IS the most important meal of the day after all. But while I find myself focusing so much on Chloe's "balanced" diet (if you consider balanced to mean made mostly of blueberries), I often forget to pump myself & Britton full of all the fruits and veggies we need.

Being a morning person, I once thought my days would always begin like this. I soon realized they instead have become less than elegant...with the outcome of this more and more often. Inspired by an awesome blog we are instituting a new breakfast routine in our home....the ever tast-ummy-licious breakfast shake. PLUS Chlo-ster can get double the fruits and veggies without ever having to enter her highchair!

One

She's one.... and she's awesome.
