First of all, on Nov. 21 Chloe turned 7 months old! She is sitting confidently these days and reaching for toys on the floor around her. Every now and then she falls over and face plants into the carpet, but she doesn't seem to mind. That way it is easier to reach the toy she wants. She now has two little teeth on the bottom and is working on one on top. We had her 6 month check up the week before and she weighed 14 lbs 4 oz and was 26 inches long. Her weight was in the 11th percentile and her height was in the 56th percentile. She actually LOST about a pound from the last visit, but the Dr seemed to think that was fine as long as she was still growing and didn't lose any more. She said it could be due to the fact that she is moving around a lot more and that her appetite has probably leveled off.
The next week...we were all sick with colds.

December was an exciting month for us all! We started off the holiday season decorating our tree and then going to Paul's work Christmas party and the kids got to see Santa and they each got a present. Lane asks daily if Santa is coming today and then he checks under the tree. When I finally started putting a few presents under there, he really thought Santa had come and he was SO excited! Somewhere around the middle of the month, we went to the mall to see the "Real" Santa and get our picture made. Lane had a whole list that he rattled off to Santa, which I'm sure only we understood, but that's okay. Chloe is rolling ALL over the place and is now working on both top teeth, so all she wanted for Christmas was her two front teeth. HAHA...She got them! As we get closer to the Big Day...our community center had a Christmas party and the kids got to see yet another Santa, this time they got to see him separately. The week before Christmas, Momma got mastitis and that put her down for a good two days. Antibiotics helped greatly and so did Daddy! Thank goodness he was able to take a day off to take care of Momma and the kids! Once Momma felt better, she made lots of candies and goodies for the neighbors and also got the annual Christmas Cards mailed.

Which brings us to Christmas... We stayed home this year for the first time since Lane was a baby. It was so nice to wake up in our own home and go down to see what Santa had brought. We ate dinner with our wonderful neighbors and then sang Karaoke after the kids all went to bed...it was a GREAT Christmas!

Okay, thats it for now...I will do another update soon...after Chloe's nine month check up. Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
