Cell Phone Dump

Ok, fasten your seat belts for this post.   This one is random and scattered.  There will be a ton of pictures and they will probably be completely out of order.  I am trying to get caught up without dragging this out for an eternity.  These pictures were too cute to pass up, but so random they didn't really need their own post so here goes!

 First cold day.  Trying out her new coat, hat and gloves.

 I left her alone to color for a minute and she decided to color her hands and face instead.  

 Building blocks with Daddy and her Kitty.  They love building blocks together.

 Kitty going to the playground with us.  Poor Kitty isn't going to be white for long!

 One of our visits to Mimi and Pawpaw's house she discovered a big patch of "Tickle Grass"

 She loved running in it and it made for some sweet pictures.

 This was the winter of sickness for us.  At least one of us, but most of the time all of were sick for almost the whole winter.  It was brutal.  One batch of sickness Chloe wanted all of her animals on the couch with her while she watched tv.  Daddy is always able to get a smile out of her when she isn't feeling well. 

 A quick family photo one trip to Amarillo.  Why so serious, Chloe?

 One of many trips to the pediatrician this winter.  Chloe loves to clean and apparently thought the patient room needed a good cleaning with her Clorox wipe.

 Coloring on herself again.  A common theme this last fall/winter.

 Cleaning again

 This girl is in love with stuffed animals.  She had quite a collection that she was talking to one day while were out shopping.  She has to stop and love on all the stuffed animals in the store. 

 We had to use a special heated hose this winter for our water.  One of the joys of camping in the winter.  Chloe watched daddy closely and when he was busy elsewhere she decided to help out a little.

 Cheese!

Sweet sleeping angel

Whew!  I told you that was going to be a crazy post!  Glad you stuck around until the end!

3 Months Old!

You turned 3 months old in February. 

In February we also started settling into a little routine.  You still only napped for about 30 minutes at a time, but I finally noticed this pattern and was able to work it into a schedule of sorts.  You usually take about 3-4 30 minute naps a day.  I think you would be a much happier baby if you slept for a couple of hours in a row, but I guess you are afraid something fun will happen while you are sleeping.  You are such a silly girl when it comes to sleep.

Mama finally started to get into a routine and began to figure out to how keep the housework done while taking care of you at the same time.  You did a lot of housework with me, because propped on my hip watching what I was doing was one of the only things that kept you happy while I worked.  

You got thrush.  It took us forever to get rid of it and you sported a purple mouth for a couple of weeks.

You went on walks outside almost daily, loved snuggling with your daddy, and wanted desperately to sit up like a big girl.  You enjoyed sitting in your Bumbo and thought it was fun when we would prop you up in the corner of the furniture so you could sit up right.  You also started playing by your self for a few minutes at a time.

You still kept mama guessing with your night time sleep habits.  You started going to bed a lot easier.  We developed a nice bedtime routine that includes a bath, bottle and snuggles with daddy most nights.  You were still waking up a few times a night, sometimes 2, sometimes 5, sometimes you slept all the way through.  You like to keep mama on her toes.  

This month we actually had a few days where you were happier than you were sad.  This made mama and Daddy very happy even though you still like to keep us both super busy!

A belated wedding gift from Clint's grandpa.

Thanks to this fur ball who has started shedding her winter fur, the white hair that is already a full time job trying to control is now an even bigger issue.

This little beauty does an amazing job at helping me with my fur problem. It is such a nice vacuum.  I think I am in love.
