Watch Her Grow...

The time goes by so quickly at times...

It's hard to believe that just about two years ago we were all sitting in your hospital room with you...
Hoping for the best of outcomes...

Remembering how you were most like the "you we all knew" the week leading up to your birthday...

And that night I stayed until around midnight and we just talked and you rubbed my pregnant belly and talked to Chloe...
And then she kicked in response to your voice...

And you told her in your excitement with the biggest smile I think I've ever seen:
"You know your Grandmom...
I can't wait to meet you...
I AM going to spoil you...
Awww.... You know your Grandmom...
I love you little Chloe"

What a wonderful memory for me to have and a great story to tell Chloe as she gets older...

Well, here she is, being spoiled and loving life...

She loved getting new PJ's...
Especially the nightgowns for her to twirl around in...
(she is quite the show off, even at just 21 months old - today actually...)


And like her mother, she uses the Crayolas to draw on just about any surface...
This one spanned the wall and the fridge...
If they only had washable crayons when I was little...


She loves bubbles...
And when Dave is involved, there is nothing better in the world...
She just cracks up whenever he is around...
Definitely a daddy's little girl...


And Aunt Teren being true to her word...
She is teaching Chloe a lot of funny things...
