She wasn't exactly looking presentable, so she decided that she was going to have the craziest night! First she made a mess out an outfit before dinner, so I just put her in a white onsie and pajama bottoms to hold us over until her bath, then she decided a wet t-shirt contest was in order. 
(Classy, huh?!)Then, just to make sure that the moment was documented for the rest of her life, she decided that she would give walking a try. Finally! A walking Chloe! She's been walking around a lot holding onto everything, I have worn a path in the carpet holding her hand for the dining room/living room circle she loves, but every time she's not hanging onto something, she get's very excited, flops down and crawls. She finally decided to give something else a try. (more than just the one stumbling step she's accomplished before). I have it on video, but still haven't figured out how to get video to my computer.
Now that my work project is "live" I haven't been working every single evening and all weekend long. (Yeah!) Rob and I took Chloe to Edinborough Park. Here we are, on our way (she's using her new "baby" as a pillow - this is a replacement baby for the other babies which were much loved, but couldn't keep it together for us):
It was nice, though very busy. Chloe decided to to use her walking skills, which made the 1000 wild kids a bit overwhelming for mom and dad. She had a great time watching all of the kids, staring at the kids in the inflatable bouncy thing and only had one or two minor falls/run ins with other kids.
Chloe did much better than us while we were there, someone walked away with her diaper bag. They must have though it was a purse and decided they needed the contents more than we did. We tried to not let that ruin our trip. We made one more stop on the way home.
We thought we should do something about Chloe's hair. It's been in her eyes and has been difficult to keep nice, so we stopped at Snip Its in Maple Grove. We got right in with almost no waiting and before we knew it Chloe was strapped in and ready for her first hair cut!
The hardest part of the whole event was the fact Rob and I weren't convinced that we wanted her to have bangs and her hair in back as a bit of curl and it would be horrible to cut it off when it's so cute! Chloe's "stylist" suggested that she just clean up the "baby" ends and if we weren't convinced with the whole bang thing, we don't cut them since once they are cut, you have to keep cutting them.Chloe did great and was distracted for all 3 minutes or so of the big event. She even behaved for a ribbon to be put in her hair. (not sure how that worked since she will barely keep a clip in her hair for me!)
The spring weather this weekend was amazing. I'm very excited for continued nice weather so we can all spend some time adventuring outside. Now all Chloe has to do is be stubborn enough not to flop down and crawl! :D
