Some More Videos

Chloe has her own blow dryer, Mommy’s hand me down.  It works well for her since it has a cool setting.  Also, here’s a video of the breakfast with Santa.

A Few Quick Videos

Here are a few quick clips of the kids.  First one is Chloe making Trey laugh.  The other is of Chloe this weekend denying the cake she and mommy just made was any good…while she was devouring every bite.

Eating in Style

No, we aren’t talking about a nice outfit regarding Trey’s style.  We decided that after a few weeks of him spitting cereal and oatmeal back at us that we would give him some food that had some flavor…and matched his hair.

He definitely liked his carrots.  It’s his first vegetable so we’re feeling good that he’s 1 for 1 in terms of liking healthy foods!  Here are some more pictures.  And for those that might remember, that is the same bumbo chair Chloe sat in seemingly until her 1 year birthday…we’re pretty sure Trey won’t fit in it as long as Chloe did.

‘Tis the Season!

As you can see, Chloe didn’t exactly think Santa was that neat of a guy this morning.  We went to Grandma Karen’s work because they have an annual pancake breakfast with Santa.  Despite a significant number of ‘Sannnnnntaaa’ comments from Chloe in the last week and her daddy being on a Santa look-a-like weight plan lately, she was not the least bit excited to be on his lap.  Trey was the angel of the two and was more than content to let Santa hold him.

Chloe did come around though when we ate breakfast.  Nearly two pancakes and a sausage link later, she was properly introducing and excusing herself out of every conversation in the building with ‘HIIIII’ and ‘BYEEEE’ two seconds after greeting people.

Here’s a photo gallery of some other pictures from today.

Chloe has been more manipulative than normal lately and is able to squeeze a few more ‘BOOOOOK’ readings from mommy or daddy before going to sleep.  Tonight was a different book.  Mommy and daddy just had to hold the book and kiddos while Grandma Lewis did the reading.

New Toy and More

Trey’s got a new toy and it’s a wonderful multi-purpose toy.  It works for entertainment, helping his development, and as a baby sitter…

The person that took the above picture was consuming an alcoholic beverage and watching football; hence, the babysitter comment posted above.

Trey had his 4 month well child check last week and he tipped the scales at 14 lbs 2 oz and 24 inches long.  That puts him in the 10-20 percentile for height and weight so it’s nice to see family genetics are already rearing their ugly identity with him.

Chloe is currently in a repeat everything somebody says mode.  Oatmeal, cereal, daddy is the best to ever walk the earth, and apple are some of her new things to say.  Oh yeah…and DOOOORA!!  She has Dora slippers and a ton of Dora stickers that Chloe is extremely interested in having often as well as Dora on the TV.

Chloe has been working on her life skills and earning her keep around the house.  The most recent skill is her attention to floor tidiness.

No doubt, kids grow up amazingly fast.  Just the other day it seems Chloe was crawling but now she’s driving.  It’s yet to be determined who is the better driver between Chloe and mommy.

Happy Halloween and Trey’s Baptism!

Last weekend was hectic to say the least.  Chloe started off the weekend with a birthday party for a little girl down the street on Saturday.  Since it was atypically warm for October, she didn’t get to wear her original costume.  Thankfully, Grandma Lewis had brought a tutu up for Chloe so she was a ballerina Saturday.  The birthday party was very neat as they had multiple little stations set up for the kids to play at in their back yard.  Chloe’s favorite was the bubble machine…she loves her bubbles.

Sunday morning was Trey’s baptism at St Pius.  We were very nervous how both Chloe and Trey would do since mass was at 11:00.  Chloe didn’t get her morning nap and Trey has been eating quite a bit during the day.  Trey slept all through mass and was great during the baptism.  He actually smiled when the oil was put on his forehead and when the water was poured over his head.  Chloe needed some time to run around but she was awesome too.  Kenny and Carrie are the godparents!  After the baptism, everyone came back to the house to eat BBQ and watch the Chiefs game.

Sunday night was obviously Halloween.  The weather was much more what you would expect for late October.  Chloe and Trey both had costumes and we went out to raid the neighborhood with Grandma Lewis.  Trey didn’t last as long as Chloe due to the cold weather.  It took some time, but Chloe started to get into a groove.  Once she got a bite of Reese’s, she was quick to each house and grab in her stash of candy.  She also wouldn’t let anyone carry her trick or treat pumpkin OR her!

Trey & Blue Bear…4 Months Together

It's crazy to think Trey is already 4mos old. He sits up some and has rolled over a few times from tummy to back. He had about a week when he was sleeping through the night, but he's reverted back to wanting a 3am snack. The scariest thought though...he's just one diaper size below Chloe!
