Growing Up

I just wanted to post a few of my favorite photos from my visit to Pennsylvania in October. I hadn't seen Chloe since April, and then she wouldn't even let anyone hold her, except for Matt and Jen. But they grow so fast those first few years, and six months makes a lot of difference.
Now she lets everybody hold her....well, she did in October. Now that she's really walking, I don't think she sits still long enough for anybody to hold her. We were reading books and she grabbed my glasses off my face and put them on. Yes, she really did that all by herself. And Matt got the shot. Hats off to Matt! This is one of my most favorite favorites!

In the shot above, Chloe is really just beginning to fuss, but you can't really tell. Poor Jen looks so tired....and she probably will for a little while longer, as Ella is not a good sleeper. Hang in there, Jen!

Chloe loves books - though lately she's not been sitting still for those either, according to Jen's blog. But, here she did.

She was a little late walking, and when I was there she was just learning to push this toy around and walk with it by herself. Doesn't she look proud?

Is there anything cuter than a baby in the bath? I don't think so. Here are two shots of Chloe all snuggly and warm after her bath.

And, here's the one her Mom will use to keep her in line when she's 16. "Shape up kiddo, or the boyfriend sees the Mohawk!"

Hee, hee!!
