Oh Chloe, the ever smiling, ever effervescent, happy baby. Here she is around the house playing with everyone she comes across.
Peek-a-boo!
Hahaha, give a kid a magnifying glass. Fun ensues!
Pigtails at the park - oh can she get any cuter?
In case you didn't know yet, Chloe is a little bit of a fiend for dancing. She asks for it all day every day. Here she is starting her own music on the piano and dancing by herself. She loves it!
Oh Lily. What a wonderful young girl she is growing into. She is speaking non-stop. Learning new words by the minute. She loves the outdoors, loving helping, loves cleaning (what?!), loves her sister, and loves all of her family (daddy, mommy, gigi, happa, nonnie,poppy,and many more).
Here are just a few pictures from the last three weeks.
Peek-a-boo with Chloe!!!!!!! Lily loves surprising Chloe
This is Lily going through all of the hats from the winter bin. Chloe LOVES hats, and so Lily plays hats with Chloe by putting different ones on both of them and then running around screaming and laughing with delight.
Here is Lily enjoying fudge brought by St. Nicolas!
Here is Lily at Dennis the Menace park, enjoying the big slide!
Then things got a little crazy, haha
Our homeless daughter again, roaming around the house
... but she sure does clean up nicely
... and our careful little girl is getting a little crazy. She is starting to be a little more brave. Here she is zip-lining at gymnastics.
Happy Thanksgiving! Lily and Chloe are loving all of the family visits, attention, and new sights and sounds the holidays bring. Here are Lily and Lucy posing for Thanksgiving.
Then uncle Mark and cousin Maddy came to visit. A blast was had by all ... and in case you missed the other post, look at the one titled "Kids are Messy" to see just how much the girls enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner (and this was their second one of the day!)
Then it was off to Nonnie and Poppy's to see family, and that includes the kitties
... and of course, any time you stop and Nonnie and Poppy's, you have to dance a little!
Our favorite time of year is finally here - Christmas time! Lily and Chloe LOVE it as well. The music, the smells, the sites, christmas lights, stockings, christmas trees, special cookies, special books and movies, lots of family time ...
Here are a few photos from around the house. Both Chloe and Lily love sitting in the little rocking chair in front of the Christmas tree and reading books or just watching the Christmas lights.
"Mmmm, nice book"
"Next!"
Mama looking amazing - a two-year-old, one-year-old, and coming on thirty weeks pregnant? Psh, that's nothing for Lauren =)
Here are some SUPER adorable pictures of Chloe in front of the tree, loving life as always
... and Lily taking care of her baby dolls. She has quite a few now and she takes very good care of them. It's good practice for the new baby coming along.
Then it is time for arts and crafts. Here is Lily's first reindeer. She had a blast and they turned out great ... what a mom.
