Welcome 2007. Last year I was so glad when 2006 came because I was sure that would be the year we brought home our daughter. I thought about it when I put away the Christmas decorations last year. I knew that the next time I saw them we would have a little girl in the house. I thought about that all again this year and how incredibly lucky and blessed were were to bring her home. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how fortunate we are to have these 3 great kids.
Wow! 2 months! My time at home with Chloe is going so fast. Chloe had a fever for 4 days this week and is on a second antibiotic for her ear infection. The first didn't get rid of it. She's been very clingy and does not want me to put her down when she's sick so I've become the expert at one handed meal preparation. Clean up is a little harder so the house often looks like it was hit by a hurricane. Here's a picture of sick Chloe. She still tries to smile and be happy.
Chloe's been talking up a storm. Daddy now sounds like Daddy, Mommy is Bobby and she'll point to me is pictures and say, "Bobby." She is also using the new words "doggy, yucky, uh oh and bye." Here's Chloe while she was helping me put away Christmas decorations:
We visited daycare this week and Chloe got to spend a little time with her new friends. There are just a few and they range in age from a couple months older that Chloe to 3 years. The one other little girl is about 6 months older which will be great for Chloe. We also had a play date with another little boys from baby home #3 in St. Petersburg. He is about 6 months older and was adopted last March. We asked if they remembered each other but they didn't say. It was so cute to see them together. Here's Chloe all ready for that play date.
Here's one last picture of the little sweetie pie. I put her hair in pig tails. I had to have Justin holding a candy cane for her to lick while he also made funny faces in order for her to sit still for me to do it and then I quickly took the picture before she started pulling them out. But for those 5 minutes they were darn cute little pig tails.

too precious! What a trooper. I looove this one. This picture is second best so far. I'm partial to the picture of her with her sweet "Bobby" not to mention the Christmas shots with her brothers. These pictures are so natural. It seems like they really capture her personality. Lucky Sally Foo.
