Nana’s Visit

This week Nana came up and watched me during the day while mom and dad went to work. It was awesome! We talked and played, giggled and snuggled AND she gave me CEREAL!!! Grandpa came over for a little bit and watched me roll around on the floor playing with all of my favorite toys. Nana even took lots of pics of me with Pink Bear, who I absolutely love! I had a great time and can't wait to do it again!

Being Social and Eating…

This week, Chloe and I made a visit to Grandma Karen’s work one morning. We saw quite a few people and clearly Grandma Karen is very proud of Chloe because everyone has been on the blog and/or seen pictures as well as heard stories.

Chloe has two times of the day when you are guaranteed to get great smiles. First time is right after she wakes up in the morning and the second is when it’s time for baby food. The little girl loves her oatmeal, peas, green beans, and squash. There are some good pictures in the photo album of her eating.

Monkey see…monkey do…motor boat

In the last week, Chloe has really started to do a motor boat sound. It took some prompting this time, but she did it.

Blah Blah Blah

Lots to say…not sure what she’s saying but lots to say.

Hello everyone!

In true Lewis fashion, the blog has been neglected. Since the last update, quite a bit has happened.

My parents have been up to visit twice, with the most recent being last weekend. Chloe has developed a ton in just a short period of time from when they saw her a few weeks ago and now. She is all about telling everyone about how she feels in the morning. She also has been perfecting her war cry.

She also has a pink standing saucer that she loves to play in now. As long as she isn't puking, mom and dad love her in it too! Speaking of puking, that is still going on but solids are making a positive difference. She didn’t care so much for the rice cereal so we tried oatmeal, which she loved. Then we started peas on Saturday and clearly she likes them.

While my parents were in town, we also went to a KU pep rally here in KC. Chloe got to break out one of MANY KU outfits she has received. She was a little apprehensive about Baby Jay but seemed to like Big Jay.

Also since last updating the blog, the Lewis family went on vacation! We went to the Lake of the Ozarks with the Dunaway’s, Holding’s, and Scott’s girlfriend, Alyssa. We stayed in a beautiful house right on the water and did jet skis, boating/tubing, parasailing, and quite a bit of eating! Terri was on baby patrol with her grandbabies while the older kids played on the lake. On the youtube site, you have to watch the tubing videos, especially the one of Alyssa and Scott…you’ll easily figure out why.

Chloe did great on the car ride down and we only needed to stop once. On the way home, she slept the whole way so it was great. Grandma Karen watched Maddie and Lawrence while we were gone, and those two had to feel like they were in heaven with Chloe not around!

I have talked more with the chair of the peds department at KU, and I’ll start being an attending there in late September or early October 2010.

Kelly had a near breakdown when she got told they needed her to go to San Francisco for 2 days on fairly short notice. After coming to grips with the situation, she was at the airport in KC and her flight out of KC kept getting delayed. Ultimately, she never left town because she would have not made her connecting flight in Denver. Thus, Chloe and dad didn’t have to be forced to be without mom for a night.

Chloe also had her 6 month checkup on August 13th. She tipped the scales at 13 lbs 9 oz. She is in the 8th % for weight, 2nd % for height, and 25th % for head circumference so she’s a short girl with a big brain.

There are a bunch of new pictures and probably some old ones in the attached gallery.
