Well, this has been a busy month for us! To start off, Chloe and Mama went on a big trip back to Oklahoma and Kansas and Chloe got to meet ALL KINDS of new faces. We flew into OKC and stayed at Nana and Papa's house in Guthrie for a few days and then we drove up to Leavenworth, KS for cousin Amy's wedding reception. The very next day we drove back down to Tonkawa to stay at Gigi and Rex's house. And then we flew back to San Diego. It was a busy trip with lots of riding around, but Chloe handled it all very well...until we got home. She was so SPOILED from being held all the time, that we had a few days when she wasn't very happy, but we have moved past that now.
Still no teeth! Even though I could swear that they are still bugging her. She chews her fists all the time and slobbers more than any baby I've ever seen. But no sign of a tooth yet! We started giving her cereal a week ago, but her tummy got really upset so we have stopped the cereal for now. I think she just wasn't ready for it. We'll try again in a couple of weeks. She really did seem to like the cereal and the 3 times I gave it to her, she ate it all up! She has been laughing and smiling a lot. She also tries to roll around. When I have her on her back she gets all arched around and I think she could just roll right over, but she hasn't yet. She doesn't sit on her own yet, but she wants to. She loves to be sitting up taking in the whole picture. Whether she is in the Bumbo or on someone's lap or propped on the couch, she LOVES to be sitting.
We haven't been back to the Dr yet, but she has an appointment next week for her check up. And she will probably get a couple more shots, too. :(
As for Lane, he continues to be a big helper. He has been outside a lot in the past couple of weeks. The weather is so nice, that I just can't keep him contained. So he has been going outside after lunch and staying out usually til supper time. And then sometimes he goes back out after supper! All the neighborhood kids started school today and that has motivated me to get busy with Lane on learning. He will go to kindergarten next year, so we need to be working on his ABC's, numbers, colors, and shapes. He also needs to be able to tie his shoes and wipe his own butt. No kidding. These are all requirements for him to go next year, so we have a lot of work to do. I am really looking forward to this time next year. Lane needs an outlet for his energy and I think school will be fun for him.
Well, I will write more after Chloe's appt to update her height and weight. Take care, we love you all!
