Exciting News!!

Ben and I just found out yesterday that we are having another baby. We are so excited and blessed. We are so happy that we are able to expand our family. I feel great. No problems. I'm not even nauseated.... yet...

My Little Genius!

Cloe loving on her doggies

Cloe loves to dress up in anything she can find. In this case, she found one of my aprons and her snow hat.

Cloe is developing so quickly I can hardly keep up with her. She turned 18 months old last Saturday and went to nursery last Sunday for the first time. She loved it!!

This evening I was giving her a bedtime snack (grapes, strawberries and a granola bar) and she was counting the grapes a put on her tray. I knew that she could already count to five, but she counted to ten without any help or prompting!! I couldn't believe it.

She knows about 15 of the letters of the alphabet by sight and learns more and more letters everyday.

She can recognize some colors. The ones she knows are yellow, green, blue, and red.

She talks ALL the time. She mostly talks in two or three-word sentences. Some of the things she says are:

"Sock off/on"

"Shoe off/on"

"Go night-night"

"Soft pillow/blanket"

"Bye-bye Daddy/Mama/Archie/Gus"

"Come on"

"Go bye-bye car"

"More grapes, please"

"Awesome"

"Bust Daddy/Mama" (This is when she wants to bump her fist against someone else's)

"Oh yeah!"

"Sunbeam" (Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam is her favorite song)

"Popcorn" (Popcorn Poppin' is another one of her favorites)

...and more!

She learns something new everyday, and is always surprising me with what she knows. She is getting so big! She is the absolute center of our universe and we wouldn't want it any other way.
