Random pics

Here are some random pictures that I keep forgetting to upload to the blog.

We attended a Memorial Day party at my Aunt Sandra's house. Chloe got to play with her older cousin, Tatum, whom she adores. Mimi bought them matching dresses:


Chloe had a blast riding around in Tatum's golf cart. Chris and I can only hope and pray that her driving skills will improve over the next 13 or so years. Eek!


Next on the agenda was Grandparents Camp at Mimi and Pawpa's house. Don't the cousins all look like they are having a blast?


Seriously, though, they had a blast. Here are some pics of Chloe and her cousin Davis at the Children's Museum downtown (or oooooseum, as Chloe says).




For the Fourth of July, we attended Kate's 4th of July Extravaganza! One might assume that the highlight of that party for Chloe was playing with the other kids, jumping in the moonwalk, playing with the glow-in-the-dark necklaces Kate bought, etc, etc, etc. But alas, that was not the case. Chloe's favorite part of the evening was dressing up in Auntie Kate's finest jewelry and high heels. What a great Auntie!!!

Our Last Family of Three Vacation

Building Sand Castles


7.21.09

We just got back on Monday from our family vacation to Destin, Florida. It was relaxing and fun -- once we got there. The car ride there...not so much. Between mine and Chloe's bathroom breaks and my swelling hands and feet, it was slllllooooooow moving, to say the least. Traveling such a long distance in the car during my third trimester was probably not one of my smartest ideas. Nevertheless, Chloe had a blast once we got there. Plus, we broke up the trip by stopping in Baton Rouge. Building sand castles, walking on the beach and swimming in the pool in the evenings were her favorite activities.

Swimmin' with the Fishes

Chloe loved her swim lesson last week! She even invited her swim teacher, Ms. Heather, back to the house to play with her toys. :) She becomes more confident with every trip to the pool. She is working on using the kickboard to swim and kick and going underwater for increasingly longer periods of time.

I am beginning my seventh month of pregnancy and have to see the doctor every two weeks now. This got me thinking...where has the time gone??? The second pregnancy has literally gone light-years faster than the first. This revelation, coupled with the birth of two babies recently (Congrats, Kelly!; Congrats, Eric!), made me nostalgic. I started looking back at newborn pictures of Chloe Jane. How could this possibly have been three whole years ago??? And how could she possibly look any different??? Here are some of my favorites:

I'll stop now. Mostly because I'm hormonal -- and Chris is out of town -- and I could post pictures all night long if I don't just quit now. ;)
