April fun

Well April seems to be crawling by at a snails pace. I am sure those of you 9 months pregnant understand where i am coming from. Or maybe the last month just flies by for some of you....not me. Not even a little bit. I have been having "contractions" (if you can call them that) for a couple of weeks now. Braxton Hicks and I are becoming better acquainted each day, let's just say we are not friends. At least they aren't painful, just uncomfortable enough to be super annoying and make me one cranky momma. My poor family, hopefully a cute little baby will make up for all my crankiness!

I was 3cm dilated at my last dr. appointment and he assured me I would have it that week. So when my next appointment rolled around I was unhappy to say the least. So i begged and pleaded and he agreed to induce me on Sunday! I could not be happier...well unless of course i go into labor on my own this weekend...i would be MUCH happier. But i will take what i can get. And the best news is i don't have to stress about missing my sister's wedding next weekend HOORAY!!

So enough about me, i know all you want is some pictures of chloe ;)

We are sure loving this wonderful Spring weather and loving having a park across the street...chloe wants to go EVERY day. she wants her coat and shoes on as soon as we eat breakfast. but i have to make her wait until her dad gets home cause it is a little difficult for me to chase her around.

Her cousin britty came over one day and was such a good helper, Chloe loves her!

For some reason she has never liked the baby swings, I guess she is a big girl now, and was SUPER excited to be on the swings with all the other big kids (like she knows the difference)

Peek a boo britty!!

she Loves the slide and says "WEEEE" every time! so cute. Now every time we even see a park she yells "WEEEE" and gets so excited.....so we have to stop right?

We did have Easter this year at our house. It was pretty fun. I made chloe wait until AFTER breakfast to find all the eggs. The Easter bunny was sneaky and came while she was in the bath! she wasn't too sure what was going on, but once she spotted more and more eggs she was getting excited. and then she discovered there was CANDY inside!! Is there anything better?

My cute little bunny!!!

Mouth full of treats, and she is even a good sharer!

Finding some eggs

She had this serious look on her face the whole time. I swear she was having fun tho!

I even got me, I mean HER, a chocolate bunny cause we always had them growing up. and it was as yummy as i remember!

Here are a couple of videos of us at the park....nothing special but she is pretty cute!

18 Months

My baby turned 18 months last week. Can you believe it?? not me! I can't believe how big she is, and how much she learns and changes every day. Little miss independent over here has already started with those "terrible two's" I am pretty nervous about what actually being 2 will be like....how do you handle the full on stage 5 tantrums that happen in public?? I mean she is usually really good when we are out and about, but she can sure take it up a notch or 10 when she wants to. And frankly i don't have the energy to deal with that at the moment, so we have been staying home alot lately!

But on a happy note, Chloe got to go to nursery last week HALLELUJAH!! It was a great day! one we have been looking forward to for awhile! I was a little nervous that she would freak out if we left, but Regan took her and was able to just walk out no problems! I peeked in on her a couple of times and I couldn't believe how big she looked sitting at the table having her little snack all by herself! what a big girl!!

I am seriously in LOVE with this little girl...She has such a big personality that is so addictive! She is super lovable to people that she knows, but is pretty shy around strangers, which isn't really a bad thing. But she always warms up to whoever is around and is showing off pretty good by the time they leave! I have been taking quite a few pictures lately so this is a REALLY long post....but I know you are only here for the pictures...ha ha. I don't blame you they are they only reason i read lots of blogs!

So here are a few of Chloe's favorite things nowadays-

DORA!!! yup she is a girl obsessed.

Playing with our shoes. She will play with them for HOURS...which is why we can never find them.

Going for walks. it has finally been super nice out and we venture out as often as I can muster up the energy!

Playing at the park, we are so lucky to have a park just across the road from us, thanks to my double stroller i got, Chloe and Lincoln can have picnics at the park...how romantic!

She likes to get into mischief. It's kinda hard to see in the picture, but she found a pencil and drew lines all over her face, I was just glad it wasn't something more permanent!

Always a good helper, she was LOVING help make apple crisp the other day. And i sure enjoyed eating it!

This is how she takes pictures....is that what I look like? No wonder she never wants her picture taken!

She loves her dad! At about 4:00 every day she climbs up to the window and calls "daddy?" over and over looking up and down the street for him! So we usually give him a call, she is hilarious when she talks on the phone. She jabbers like she is having a full on conversation, talks and then waits for a reply and then answers! funny girl.

She loves her mom, and I kinda love her too!

Probably her VERY favorite toy she has ever had. Woody! off of toy story (for those of you who didn't recognize him!)

She carries him around all the time and everywhere we go! I have no idea why, he isn't even soft! It is pretty cute tho!

Woody just needs a bottle and some loves.

And he is a very good dance partner!

She loves her baby that is on it's way. She kisses my belly all day long and gives it loves. I am 8 1/2 months here, just counting down the weeks!! 5 left!!

But mostly she just loves being cute, which isn't hard cause she is pretty darn adorable!!

Gonzo

Yup its gone. The Mullet has left the building. Chloe got her very first haircut the other day, yes her very FIRST haircut at 18 months. Her hair has decided to take its sweet time to grow...very frustrating. While i used to be able to pull this beauty back into pig tails or a ponytail the elastics just keep breaking off the hair on top so I can't even do that anymore. So alas it was time to get rid of it.

I was pretty sad, I am not gonna lie.

It looks like more than it really is, her hair is SO fine. But it was looking rather white trash the other day I couldn't ignore it anymore!

One measly little curl....a normal baby would have this haircut at like 3 months old.

There you go. she looks like a boy now. so she HAS to wear a flower now, we get "what a cute little boy!" WAY too much. Even with earrings and her cute little girly face.

And there is my sweet little girl, She survived the first haircut...lets hope her hair decides it wants to grow at superfast amazing speeds from now on.

cuteness

I coudn't find Chloe's headband this morning, and since she REFUSES to grow hair, she had to have a new one so people will stop calling her a cute little boy. I whipped up this little ball of cuteness, and LOVE it!! i will be making more for sure!!

I just used some lace I had laying around and it was stretchy lace...not my first choice. It definitely won't hold its shape as good as normal lace.

But i still love the look and Chloe loved it too...not as much as she loved watching dora on the tv behind me.

Do you love the new lacey flower?? If you want one just let me know, and I will try to have some out at the hardware store soon!
