Happy Birthday Chloe!!!
Then on her actual birthday we had her pictures taken at Sears and we sang "Happy Birthday" again.
Chloe is becoming a little toddler these days! She is "cruising" all over the place and has even taken a couple little tentative steps, but no walking yet.
She has also been "boob-free" for over three weeks, and you know Mom is happy about that! She drinks on average around 10 ounces of whole milk from a sippy cup each day!
And finally, she has graduated to a Big Girl car seat! Chloe couldn't be happier! She loves sitting forward and seeing out the window when we ride in the car!
And that's it! We had a week long Birthday Celebration! And now I'm off to make another birthday cake for our neighbor Lexie! Have a fabulous weekend!
Getting Caught up...
First off: EASTER!
We colored Easter eggs:
We made our Jesus Cookies:
We hunted for eggs on Easter Morning:
We tasted our Jesus Cookies:
We got dressed:
I wasn't able to get a picture of Lane and Chloe together in their pretty duds, because Chloe was pretty much a grump the entire day so she got dressed and then went down for a nap. Lane got dressed up and then decided he wanted to go outside, so he changed clothes. Anyway, here are the only two pics I got of the kids in their dress ups:
(She wasn't excited about the shoes!)
We spent a quiet day at home and ate dinner that evening with our neighbors, the Tashmas. We feasted on Ham with a Tangerine Glaze, Scalloped Potatoes, Deviled Eggs, Green Salad and Crusty Bread. We finished our dinner with Lemon Pound Cake and Fresh Spring Berries. It was delicious and VERY filling!
Next on the agenda: Mom (Gigi) and G'ma Rosie come to visit!
On April 15th (which also happens to be our Anniversary, we've been married for 12 years!) my Mom and Grandma Rosie came to visit for a week!
At the Airport, waiting for G&G to arrive:
They are finally here:
Visiting Paul's Work:
Oh yeah, we had a Birthday Party for Chloe!!! (See Separate Post)
Paul and I had an evening out at a local pub for a friend's Surprise Birthday Party:
We drove to Buean Park, CA to Knott's Berry Farm for some lunch at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant and some shopping at the General Store:
We visited the Oceanside Pier, had a picnic on the beach and stopped by a local Bead Shop:
Mom cut my hair:
And on our last day together, we visited the Seals in La Jolla:
(This little baby seal was born the day before)
We were very busy, but we had a lot of fun and we are sad that G&G had to go back home. We did however, need a couple of day to recoup after they were gone!
