milestones

I woke up this morning before Chloe. The house was quiet and dark. There was a new dusting of snow. I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat on the couch by the front window. Ahhhhhh, I feel like I'm on vacation. Then I think OHHH, perfect time to update my blog!!!!!!!
Alot has happened since my last blog. Easton had a birthday and turned 5. I can't believe how fast he's growing. He had a great birthday with all the family.
Papaw came to visit saturday, Chloe actually pulled her self up to stand using the clothes basket. She loves to sit in the basket and pull clothes over her head. Tuesday when we went to Papaws house, he walked into the living room where she was playing. Her big round eyes lit up and she CLAPPED her hands, for the first tme!! I of course started clapping and said yea Chloe!!!! She looked alittle startled. BUT thats not it. Tuesday she was playing on the floor in the kitchen. I think she likes it in there because she can slide around. Anyway, I took her socks and pants off so she could get a little traction. In no time she learned how to push her self up into a sitting position. I clapped again with tears in my eyes saying yea Chloe. She looked startled again but smiled. Of course I ran and got the video camera. This was a huge milestone. She has also started banging things together and on the floor. It's amazing all the things they learn all of a sudden.
Wednesday we skipped church. I know, bad us. Chloe is teething. Everyone that knows her, knows she isn't a crier. She cried all day!!!!!! I did alot of praying. 1 because her mouth hurt so bad, I did everything I knew to do. 2- the crying was really wearing on my nerves. When we woke up Thursday she was pretty much back to herself. Idid thank the Lord for that.
Kristin thinks its cute because Chloe cries for her. Kristin walks by and Chloe cries. Not a hard tear jerker cry but a whiney cry. If I'm holding her and she notices Kristin, she'll cry. Sometimes Kris will even try to hand Chloe back to me and she burries her head into Kris and holds on real tight, kicking those little legs and grinning. Wait until she moves out and Chloe cries,I wanna go with you!!!!! That will be funny.
Well I am done for now. Pray for my husband, he's been gone for another week over seas. He was supose to be home today but you know how that goes.
