Hi Everyone!

The Lewis' have been a little busy & tired over the last month and the blog has been neglected.

We have been spending a TON of time outside with all of the beautiful weather.  We have been exploring our neighborhood and all of the walking trails so close to our home.  We load up the kiddos and head out. We (Kelly) recently decided to let Chloe out of the stroller and walk on her own.  Little did I know she would REFUSE to get back into the stroller at any point on the walk OR any other walks for that matter.  She amazed everyone with how far she could walk/run.  Her longest bout out of the stroller has been from 79th street to 83rd street, along a few other trails, and back to our house.  For those of you who have been to our house you know there are hills every where including our driveway...this does not slow the little monster down at all :-)!

We've been taking at least 1 walk a day and then Chloe and I stroll up and down our street without the stroller, dad, or Trey after dinner.  We've met a ton of neighbors this way...mostly do to Chloe being so social and literally saying "Hi" to every man, woman, child, animal, tree, etc. regardless of how far or how close they may be to her. :-)

Trey is also doing awesome. He is sooooo sweet and growing so quickly!  On 9/1 he weighed 11lbs 50z and was 23in long.  He is such a smiley baby and has started laughing every now and then. He loves the sayings "Did you poop?” and “WOOOOOW." It's sounds icky but seeing him smile makes me do it about 100 times a day.  He loves to eat and but is very inconsistent on sleeping.  He'll sleep about 6 hr stretches, but those hours don't usually coincide with the middle of the night.  He generally wakes up between 2 and 4am every night.  He has slept to 6am a few times but it's definitely not the norm.

We had a big Kilgore family gathering 8/20 and Chloe was in heaven! She LOVES to entertain.  I think she danced the entire night until Mike finally scooped her up and gave her to me to take a bath and go to bed.  She probably would have stayed up until the last person left if we would have let her.

It's been so great having all of the space in the house.  Mike and I joked that we are going to have to put a schedule for the guest room.  We love it though!

Diane and Mike came up Labor Day weekend.  I think Chloe WORE Diane out, but they both loved it!

We have been taking Chloe to Cindy's to keep her routine and I have been staying home with Trey. I have to go back to work Monday and it is going to be super hard to leave the little guy.
