Four month well check

Half of Maple Grove was without power this morning when we brought Chloe to the clinic for her well check. Luckily they were up and running when we came in for our appointment.

Here's the run down -
Weight: 14 lbs 15 1/2 oz (73 percentile)
Head Circumference: 16 3/4 inches (84 percentile)
Length: 26 1/2 inches (98 percentile!!)

I realize that Chloe had grown quite a bit, but wow! I am surprised how long she is. No wonder why I feel like it's starting to be a little work out lifting her up and holding her. :) Chloe was very good for the whole appointment and really let everyone know how much she opposes shots. When we walked out of the room, a patient, her daughter and the doctor said all looked at us and the doctor said, "Well, there she is. I was just saying someone must be getting shots." It's good to know the whole clinic could hear her screaming... I'm pretty sure the sound could have shattered glass!

I was trying out our video camera today, instead of just using the video option on our digital camera. I got a very cute video. For some reason it won't post so sum it up:
1. Chloe jumping in her jumper
2. Still jumping, going crazy
3. Still going crazy (lots of music being played by the jumper because it plays when she moves)
4. Cut to Chloe sleeping in her jumper, waking up, looking at the camera and falling back to sleep... all in her jumper.

Wasn't that adorable?!

Congratulations to my coworker and friend Michelle! She not only is starting a new adventure on Monday at her new job with a different company - she has been roped into the world of blogging. She set up her site, but needs to make her first post. Her little guy was born a few weeks before Chloe so it has been fun to exchange stories and get a preview of things to come for me! I need to check with her about sharing her link - so I'll keep you posted...
I just think it's so much fun to read people's blogs. It's nice to stay updated and feel like I'm in the loop (I think some people call that stalking - but whatever!). When other blogs haven't been updated, I turn to celebrity gossip websites to do fun reading. So, let your conscience be your guide... Do you want me reading your blog, or so you want me reading crap about celebrity twins, someone saving the whales, best and worst dressed actors and looking at people's mug shots? No pressure, people, no pressure. :-)

The cool kids

I'm not happy or anything...

Or cute...

or adorable...

or stylin'...

(It should be noted that Chloe is sporting a Christmas gift from Grandma Jan and Grandpa Dave.)

Since Rob's butt wouldn't fit in the seat, he had to be a little creative to demonstrate to Chloe how cool the seat could be. As you can see, all of the cool kids are using it!

Catch up

So cute...

I love looking directly at the camera

Here you can see the stylin' boots from Katie - how trendy! :)

Hello!
This outfit is from Emily - I can't believe that it already fits. (She did have socks on, but she was getting ready for bed and I didn't want to miss the photo opp!)

Ben pretty much leaves Chloe alone, but to show his love on Saturday he kept on almost sitting on her (after a thorough sniff down)

And not to be outdone, Jake had to see how close he could get to her face without touching her.

She really doesn't mind the dogs at all. She will watch them while they are walking around the room, but is pretty disinterested when they are close to her.

Don't call me shorty

Lounging on the coach... with cute cubby cheeks

Showing off her new shoes (aren't they cute!)

I laid her down in her crib before getting her pjs on tonight. Do you think she was a little tired?

She has been rubbing her head when she's tired... a lot of times she gets one hand on her head and another covering her eyes.
Like this...Rob picked out the cute outfit - I'm thinking she needs the pink pacifier with this one. :-)

and the Oscar goes to...
