New Milestone

Chloe now picks out her outfit for the next day. 

Like Mom, she takes fashion seriously:

What to wear?

My pink shoes?

Not today...

My white boots?

Its cold in here, but not that cold...  I'll put those back.

Which outfit to wear?

My black and pink one!  Yes!

What about shoes?

This one tastes good.  I'll take it!

One more shoe?

Looks good...

[We'll have to work on the matching thing...]

And a onesie to go underneath...

And finally I need some socks...

My striped ones?

No, I know.  A black pair of socks to match my outfit!

All set for tomorrow!

So Cute, I had to repost larger...

Thank you for everything Colette!

Thank you Colette for all my gifts and for taking such great care of me! I love my books, my froggy and the farm animal toy (it's my favorite!).  We will miss you as our nanny, but look forward to many playgroups and walks with you, Logan and Cormick! Thank you for staying in our lives, Chloe (and Mom) are really happy we get to see you every week!

Congratulations Joshua!

Congratulations to Joshua for making Partner at his law firm! He worked very hard to get to where he is today. Chloe and I are very proud of him. 
(Chloe and I will make sure you still have time to make it to the beach!)

9 Months Old


Mom's Update...Chloe turned 9 months old on January 13th, 2008. We are amazed at how fast time is flying by. We have so much to hare about her developments. She is now crawling everywhere and has mastered pulling herself up to standing position via sofas, tables, chairs, legs, anything she can get her hands on. She has started dancing to beats...almost anything gets her grooving these days. From Beatles to Rhianna, to her music class CD's! In the past few weeks, she has been practicing standing without holding on to anything and has actually mastered about 15 seconds before plunking down on her butt and breaking into a huge smile.

She's started on solid foods and hasn't found a thing that she doesn't like yet. We've tried sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, oatmeal, pears, apples, cheese, turkey, french fries (ok just a few)...and on and on. 

Chloe has figured out that waving to people gets a wave back which she finds very amusing. She's a very happy baby. Always laughing and giggling at everything around her. We've even heard her crack up in her crib all by herself or in her car seat while driving.  If we only knew what it was she found so amusing! Seeing the world through a little one's eyes is so fun. 

Yesterday was Chloe's 9 month Doctor's appointment. She weighs 20 lbs and measures 29 inches in height. Her Doctor says she's very "mature" developmentally...I said, "you mean, she's advanced...I know" ;). 

So that's the 9 month update.  We feel very lucky to have such an amazing little girl, who brings so much joy into our lives. She's a love.

Chloe Soleil Says Hello to Chloe Soleil!


Thank you Auntie Sharon & Uncle Jim for the outfit!

This is mine and Mom's favorite outfit on me. Thanks Auntie Sharon and Uncle Jim!

We're back!

Technical Difficulties

We recently converted to a Mac and are still trying to figure out how to update the blog with the new operating system. We have some great new pictures of the little girl, so we will post a bunch of them once we get it figured out. We hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you soon.

The World's Tightest Pants

It might be time to take these out of the rotatation. Chloé could barely bend her legs these were so tight.

Standing Around


Chloé's favorite thing to do now is to pull herself up and work on her standing. She's getting very good at it.
