4 months...a few days late








Chloe is 4 months old now, and really getting her little personality! We love to see her smile so big!! She is a really happy baby. The only time she cries is when she first starts taking her bottle (already checked with dr., not sure why but then she chugs all of it), or when she is in a big crowd of people. I can already tell that she is alot like Weston and loves to be home.
Gracie on the other hand would "go" 24/7 if she had the chance. Chloe is like Gracie in that she loves to sleep. She has been sleeping through the night (with a few exceptions) since about 2 1/2 months. It's so neat to see both of their personalities in her. We just love our sweet bitty girl!!


Here is what you are up to lately Chloe.....
***You weigh about 12 pounds ( have not had check up yet, this is my guess)
***You wear 3-6 months clothes (mostly) and size 1 diaper
***You eat every 3 hours during the day, about 5oz each feeding

***You sleep about 9 hours at night, and take 2 or 3 naps a day

***You love to play on your activity mat and you usually end up completly turned around

***You can roll over from tummy to back, and hold your head up really well

***You sat in the Bumbo seat in a chair with us at dinner with us the other night and you were SO excited!

***You LOVE to hear Daddy's voice when he gets home, it's so sweet!
*** You light up when Weston and Gracie talk to you, they love you so much!
I am such a proud Mommy!! We love you so much Chloe Bear!!

4 years already??





I can't believe it was 4 years ago (friday) when we saw our Gracie girl for the first time! I will never forget...we were out to eat at El Mezcal with my parents, Vic and Summer and I started having "real" contractions. I had been having braxton hicks (sp?) since early on but these felt different. I told Hale to watch the clock because I thought this was it, and I think he thought I was over reacting. Ha! (me??, no way!) Well, they were like 5 minutes apart. So we ALL headed to the hospital, and poor Weston was barely 3 and he was a little scared. By the time they got me all settled my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart and I thought I was dying!!!! ....and I was only 2 centimeters!! Oh my goodness, I thought I had some pain tolerance, but not this time. Well, long story short, I was not dialiting anymore, and her heart rate was dropping so we had an emergency c-section. Luckily, I had already had stadol and an epidural, so I didn't really have chance to be scared it all happened so fast. Out 1st teeny tiny baby girl was born at 2:39 am on July 2, 2006. She was SO small...3lbs 13 oz and 17 1/4 inches. (btw- I was only 36 weeks) I didn't get to see her until the next day because she had to go to the NICU (for 8 long days) because she was so little. She was so beautiful and perfect. She was the BEST baby, and so laid back. Well....not so much anymore! HA! 4 years later, she is still SO beautiful!! She is also very high maintence, funny, loud, silly, and can be SO sweet when she wants to. She loves her brother and sister, milk, cheetos, cinnamon rolls, strawberries, playing outside, swimming, Polly Pocket, barbies, and loves to watch Caillou. She is a very happy girl (unless she needs a nap) and makes us laugh everyday!

We had a fun birthday weekend, I'll post pics later. Here is a few pictures of my girl!
