evidently NOT into the cute hat look like her sister did



Well there's a whole lot of sweetness going on around here. Having a great summer. Chloe is a very different baby from our first one. I know Abigail got into some trouble but this little monkey has a particular knack for trouble. She likes to push her boundaries, test the limits and all while killing you with those big baby blues so you can't fuss at her. Abigail never seemed to do those baby things that didn't make sense. But this one!? She tries it all. Last week she pulled a table on top of herself, luckily God was watching and it didn't hurt her. Then I caught her sucking on the end of my phone charger..while it was plugged in! Brian said she must have liked how it made her tongue tingle. She likes to pick the socket covers off and then stick her fingers in the holes. She insists on standing and banging on the glass doors we have that cover our gas logs, no matter how many times we and even Abigail lift her to the other side of the room. Screaming "NO" and clapping don't seem to phase this little stinker. She just shoots you a glance (on a good day) to acknowledge she hears you and to insure that you realize she doesn't give a flyin flip that she's doing something bad. She's my little challenge. I love it! I pray for that entire team of angels to help me keep an eye on her. She seems to be fearless, the faster you spin her, pretend to drop her, throw her in the air the better she likes you. She's eats positively everything that she shouldn't. If it's laying around and it strikes her curiosity it goes straight into her mouth. It scares me to death. Keeps me and the Bit on our toes for sure through the day. At least Abigail's mature enough to help me police her. She absolutely lights our days though. Brian is so insanely smitten with her. He can't get his hands on her fast enough when he gets home at night. And she beams ear to ear when he comes in the room. No one seems to get to her quite like her sister though still. These two have a special bond already. I love to watch their relationship develop. We're having a ball w/ our little Chloe bird. Can't believe how fast we're plowing through the first baby year. Makes me wish I could hit pause sometimes and slow this process down. Loving every minute!
