awake

awake from her nap........

and she wants out!

big girl

Yesterday was a big day. Chloe pulled herself up and stood up all on her own.

Then she practiced some crawling. almost.

Then a big kiss from daddy to celebrate. check out that face!

lesson learned

Don't leave the baby too close to the toilet paper roll while you are taking a shower.

8 months

whoops, with all the craziness lately i forgot about Chloe's 8 month old day. We are still working on crawling. Going backwards seems to be getting easier but she hasn't quite figured out how to go forward. No teeth yet. I can't believe since it seems like she has been teething for months. Eating continues to go well. It is hard to keep her little hands off food we are eating. Which has resulted in a lot of new tastes for her his month. Every day that goes by I see more and more of the big girl she is to become. It is quite fun!

Trip recap

We are back. We had a great visit with my family in New Mexico. It started out a bit rough with a cranky teething baby on a long 7 hour drive, it felt incredible long any how. We had a fun day at the zoo.

her baby must be teething too!

Then it was getting ready for Easter. Lots of cooking and cleaning since my mom was hosting the whole family at her house. We woke up to a white Easter but still made it to the sunrise service that Calvary Chapel does at the Lobo football stadium. It was a beautiful morning and there is just something about celebrating Jesus' Resurrection while watching the sun rise.

Paella! yum.

Chloe found some favorite cousins already.

showing off her Easter dress (and her bum)

Happy Easter!

We are down here in New Mexico enjoying a visit with my family. Hope everyone has a good Resurrection Day!

too cute for words

oh happy day!

We found the missing vibrating teether!! It makes Chloe so happy! And mommy too!

daddy time

bailey's hurt paw. crazy dog sliced open her paw on one of our walks.

crawling?

Almost there! She can get in the position but hasn't quite figured out how to move.

bad blogger

Things have been crazy busy lately, as you might be able to tell by my lack of blogging. Jeremy has been working a ton and also picking up side jobs here and there. It has been exhausting at home without him and with a teething baby. We were counting on March being a crazy month so we could take a big chunk out of our debt. For those of you that don't know we are following the Dave Ramsey plan and trying to get completely out of debt. We are in to April and things have not slowed down. We will take our blessings where we can get them and as long as God provides the work we will do what we got to do. We have committed today to be a family day, no work! So we have been watching movies, relaxing, and making homemade pizza. It has been a great day all together. Also a good time to catch you up. So here are some good doses of Chloe.
