Swim Class











Chloe just completed Waterbabies 1 class! She can now swim underwater for about 5 seconds, has learned to kick and is starting to float on her back. She was a little hesitant at first but really "jumped in" and enjoyed it. We were so proud of her. I am going to attempt to add some pics and a short video clip of us in the pool. Enjoy!

Silly with the Sippie





One of her latest talents has been to hold her sippie cup in her mouth with no hands! Maybe this is something only Chris & I will get a kick out of but I thought I would share!

Baby Love





The last couple of months Chloe has developed a love for her baby dolls. Her babies are Ella, Kaylee, Sweet Pea and Ashlee. Her favorite is Ella, which she pronounces "Lella". Well, actually she now calls all of them either "Lella" or "bebe". She carries them everywhere - to all the stores and restaurants, she pushes them around in her new stroller (thanks to Nana!), she also pushes them on top of "Lion", rocks them in her little rocking chair and she sleeps with them - all of them!! She gives them love and kisses and has a pretend bottle she feeds them. Chris has decided that she will own a daycare one day! I can't put into words how sweet it is to watch her with her babies. Here are a few pics of her caring for them.

Easter












Oops - I am almost forgot Easter! Easter was actually extra special this year - it was Chloe's 1st chance to hunt for eggs & it was on my b-day! The day before Easter our community had an Easter Egg Hunt & we went. She had a great time gathering eggs & even more fun playing with the boxes of "Nerds" candy. On Easter day we went to church and then went to hunt eggs with Karson & Kolton at their house. Here are some pics of the various hunts & Easter day.

Third Day & Rangers Game Day





On April 12th we went to the Ranger's game & to a Third Day concert. We had a fun time and Chloe did great. She played on the blanket, ate snacks out of Lizzy's hand and danced around during the concert and then at the game she watched some of the plays but thoroughly enjoyed doing the wave! Here are some photos of the day courtesy of Elizabeth! By the way, the cute guy in the pics is Mac from Third Day (not Chris!).

Tax Season

Chloe & I went to help Nana, Papa & Chester out some during tax season and we came home for good on April 11th. Chloe enjoyed hanging out at the office and you just never knew who's lap she would be sitting in next! She enjoyed entertaining the clients and telling them "bye, bye". I know Chris sure missed her but I also know he enjoyed the extra sleep! :)

Karson Spends the Night!




Karson finally spends the night with us while Kolton is in the hospital. Chloe & Karson are such good buddies - they had a blast together. They played and played. Here are some pictures of them (& Chris)!
