Smarty Pants

Chloe has been cracking me up lately with some of the sentences that she has been saying. She has been using a lot of big words that I don't think most three year olds know (let alone use in sentences). Here are some examples of the sentences she is using.

"He is gorgeous."

"That guy looks funky."

"She is beautiful."
"I can hardly see anything in here."

"I figured you wanted to push me on the swing."

"These are similar."

"I actually want this one."

"Now, you go over there Daddy because you are annoying me!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Little Giggles

Last night, Aaron was able to make Abby giggle for the first time. She has been making laugh-like sounds for a while now, but we got an official giggle last night. It was the cutest thing! It made Aaron's night that he was the first to get her to laugh. =) I got one more out of her this morning, too.

Other than that, we have really been enjoying the warmer (50 degree) weather and spending as much time outside as we can. Our favorite thing is to do is go to the park and play for hours on end. Here is a picture of the girls at the park on Friday.

Serious Bedhead

Chloe woke up this morning with some serious bedhead. It was just too crazy not to take a picture. I embarrassed her when I told her I was going to take a picture of her, so she didn't want to smile for me, but she would stick her tongue out. She is such a girl when it comes to having her hair messy and not wanting anyone to see it. I will tell her that her hair is messy when she wakes up and she will try running her fingers through it to try to fix it.

Good Stats

I took the girls to the doctor for Chloe's 3 year check up and Abby's 2 month check up and their stats were pretty good. Chloe is not a fan of going to the doctor and when he started his check up on her, she lost it. She tried to be tough but it didn't last, and before we knew it, the tears were flowing. Then to top it off, she had to get a shot and Abby had 3 so I had two screaming children to carry out to the car- yeah, it was fun!

Chloe:
Weight- 26lbs. (6.86 percentile, we were so excited that she wasn't off the charts, at her 2 year check up she was in the 0.8 percentile)
Height 35 in. (7.63 percentile)
Body Mass Index- 15.06 (29.65 percentile, it was in the 1st percentile last year)

Abby:
Weight-10.87 lbs. (46.94 percentile, nice and average)
Length 23.25 in. (79.26 percentile)
Head Circumference 15.1 in (35.46 percentile)

Snow Fun

When I told Chloe this morning that it had snowed all night, the first thing she asked me was "Can I go outside and play in the snow"? I told her that she had to wait until Abby was asleep and it warmed up a little. She continued to ask me all morning and finally after lunch, I bundled her up and we went out to play. Granted she only lasted about 15 minutes but she still had fun. She even tried to ride her car in the snow (it didn't work too well for some strange reason=)).

Abby's Two Months Old

Our little Abby is two months old now. I don't know where the time has gone. It is already hard to imagine our lives without her. She is such a good baby and we are so blessed to have her.

At two months she consistenly wakes up at 7:00 am and wants to play, she will smile at you when you talk to her, she loves Chloe, and sleeps really good at night (she wakes up, eats, and then falls right back asleep- how did I get so lucky?). She also is starting to coo and laugh more and has a very strong little neck.

A little taste of Spring

The past few days have been heavenly because we have had a little taste of spring weather. Granted, it has only been in the 40's and 50's but after a long cold Utah winter, 50 degrees feels fantastic! With all this nice weather we have done lots of bike riding and have spent the last two days at the park. It has been so nice to just get out of the house and be outside in the fresh air. However, all good things must come to an end because we were quickly reminded this morning that it is still winter in Utah when we woke up to snow on the ground. Hopefully it will warm up again soon so we can get back outside.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines Day from our family to yours!

Jordan World Circus

My sister Amber invited us to go to the circus with her family on Wednesday night and to top it off, she paid for it and called it a birthday present for Chloe...it was an offer we couldn't refuse.

Chloe was so excited to see the clowns and kept asking the whole time when they were coming. Unfortunately, they only had one clown and he was kind of lame. Oh well!

She loved seeing the elephants and the all the people flying through the air. It was fun to see and hear her expressions at each new act. Thanks, Amber!
