Baptism in the books!
Over the weekend, Chloe was baptized at St Pius by Father Ken. There were many in the crowd to cheer her on! She was actually well behaved the whole time sans a few attempts to rip Grandma Terri’s earrings out. After the baptism, people came over to the house and we hung out until the Lewis, Dunaway, and Holding families had to head back south to Wichita.
It was also Chloe’s first Halloween. She was a lady bug. Her first treat of her Halloween career was a Kit Kat from our neighbor across the street. She had a death grip on it for the entire night. By the end of the night it was a gooey chocolate mess inside the wrapper.
A big event for mom and dad…we went out for the first time without Chloe since she was born! There was a dinner and party for the KU Pediatrics department that we went to while Grandma and Grandpa Lewis babysat. As soon as we walked in the door, Kelly’s phone started ringing and she probably answered it in record time. To say someone was anxious would be a modest understatement.
Regarding milestones, she will stand for a little bit if you put her hands on something. There has also been an isolated incident of her pulling herself up in her crib. Kelly walked in and BOOM there she was standing. The crib was lowered soon afterwards! She’s become quite the vocal and moody girl. If you even think about taking something out of her hand, tears are soon to follow. She’s still not crawling completely, and I’m not sure she will. Chloe might be one of the kids that skips that and just starts walking. No discernible words yet, but she can really get on a ‘ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba’ kick.
It’s a big weekend coming up with the Sunflower Showdown, and Chloe is nervous to say the least. Chloe said that until she gets her picture with Willie, Big Jay is the mascot of her favorite team. So Willie, get to KC for a photo op so we can have equal representation.
Somehow we don’t have as many pictures from the baptism as we thought so please email us your pictures and we’ll put them up on the blog!

Baptism Getting Closer
Chloe’s baptism is November 1st and Grandma Lewis made Chloe’s dress. Here are some pictures of her dress and just some other random pictures as well as a video of her in her dress…and Chloe’s remake of Jump Around.

Guess who is 8 months old?!?!
It is a fact…the Lewis family is terrible at keeping the blog up to date. Chloe is growing like crazy AND she’s starting to move around all on her own. She’s not full blown crawling, but she’s doing a lot of rocking, rolling, scooting, and (her personal favorite) lunging. Today was the first day we decided not to put her on a blanket on the floor. We came to the realization that it’s just pointless to put her on a blanket because her goal is to get off of it as quickly as possible.
She’s come nose to nose (literally) with both Maddie and Lawrence. So far the pups have done really well with her. They don’t like it but they tolerate it.
She still loves her solid foods. The only food that didn’t agree with her is sweet potatoes (and that’s okay, Nana hates them too!) On 10/02 she weighed 16lbs. We made an visit to the doctor for a snotty nose and fever, thankfully no ear infection.
She’s learning new sounds too! She started squealing for as long as she can hold it and then she takes a deep breath once she’s done. She’s really started using her hands to match her growling and grunting noises.
She learned to purposely push a button on her standing saucer thing. I heard “Peek-a-boo! I see you!” about 100x in row. I thought it would have been annoying, but it wasn’t because about every 5th time, Chloe squealed with laughter like, “I’m doing this! I am sooooo amazing!”
She’s got a bit of “stranger danger”. She does pretty well if mom or dad holds her and will just look and take it all in, but the minute someone else tries to hold her then she starts crying. We are trying to work on fixing this problem!
Enjoy the videos. Those with a light stomach, you might not want to watch the end of the video of her in the crib.
Hopefully, we’ll have some pictures up soon.
