One Quick Video

Chloe has a new friend.  Her friend’s name is ‘Shadow.’  This friend goes everywhere she does no matter how fast Chloe runs, how hard she stomps on it, or any other method of shaking it from her side.

Ho Ho Ho version 1.0 2010

There are multiple Christmas’ for us this year.  Soon we will be heading to Wichita and then Augusta.  However, we wanted to do our own Christmas gift exchange in the new house so we did it yesterday.  Trey got lots of hugs and kisses and promises he’ll get gifts next year.  Chloe received something called a V reader which is a essentially a digital book that reads to her and has many other options.  She also got a huge aqua doodle pad.

Mommy gave daddy a Weber Q grill so now he doesn’t have to lug around the old charcoal grill to tailgate.  Daddy gave mommy a cooking class at a culinary center in KC that she will also take Chloe too.  If you are wondering what the last picture is, it’s Kelly crying.  Yes, the girl that many once thought had no emotions is now a huge softy.

It’s unlikely we will have any other posts to the blog before Christmas so Merry Christmas to everyone!

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.
