What a chatter box Khloe is!

Well guys I just had to let you know how much this little girl loves to hear herself talk! She is just "talking and talking" all the time, when she is on the changing table, in the middle of her bottles, in the back seat of the car, the middle of restaurants...she doesn't care. She starts out making kind of cooing noises and then she gets progressively louder and louder where I almost think she is upset/yelling....then she just laughs! I think she likes the noises and the louder she is the funnier it is to her. She has also started to mimic us. The other day I picked her up from day care and I said "ha, ha, ha, ha, ha" she smiled and looked at me and said "ha, ha, ha,ha, ha" I laughed so hard, which made her laugh. It was too cute. So I guess the days of her repeating everything we say have just begun.

Last night Paul and I went to a 70's costume party for a friend of his family Patrick's 40th surprise birthday party. We had a blast! I am definitely NOT a costume party kind of girl but Paul and I both got into the spirit of it and went all out. I had shiny white knee high Go-Go boots on, fake eyelashes (first time ever using those things) sparkle glitter all over, and liquid black eyeliner helped me make cat eyes!!! WOW crazy huh? I have added a couple of pics of us in costume not too many...LOL!

For all of you who know how much I LOVE those Trumpette socks ( the ones that look like Mary-Jane shoes) on Khloe I got her a couple of new ones...ballerina slipper socks and High top socks....They are just too cute! I think I am really going to miss these socks when she actually starts to wear shoes and you can't see her socks anymore :(

An update on Paul and I coping as new parents. We are loving every second of our new lives. We are thoroughly exhausted, worn out, and our to-do lists never seems to end but somehow we find the energy to get up and do it all again every morning. ( I think we are gonna have to look into getting some help with the deep cleaning of the house) When we hear her wake up in the mornings it is a competition to see who can go and get her from the crib first...Paul even rushes in there before he gets his coffee started!!! SHOCKING I KNOW!! :) Thank GOD I have such a great helpful husband!
She is such a joy to have as a baby. She has really been getting some very strong legs. Lately when I'm trying to burp her over my shoulder she will put her milky mouth all over my neck and start "talking" then she starts jumping and jumping, when she gets tired she snuggles up against my neck with her little butt sticking out and rests for a second then starts again with the jumping. She's like a smiling jumping jelly bean you just want to eat. I can't help help but laugh so hard, which makes her laugh...it's some of my most favorite times!!
I have not been very good with taking pictures, but here are a few of her in her new jogging stroller...she loves it! She is so content when we go for runs/walks she just watches Maxx, looks around or falls asleep! She is the talk of the neighborhood, of course we NEVER go for a walk without a bow on! :) What a great baby!! Love you guys, I'll update again soon!

1st Visit to Granna's House

I am so sorry it has been so long since my last posting, I am still amazed at how much we are able to do and get done in a single day...wow do I wish I had at least 4 or 5 more hours in the day!! We have just gotten back from a WONDERFUL visit at Granna's house. We had soooo much fun with my Brother and Angie and April & Chad & sister Laurie and Khloe's little cousins. Mia, Cole, & Drake were so cute with Khloe. They all wanted to kiss her or help me pick out her clothes or just look at her and say how cute or sweet she was. I was in "Family Heaven" We got a chance to get some pics done with Angie which was very nice of her. She has become so busy with all of her referrals for pictures it seems like word is spreading about how great of a photographer she is and the work is just flooding in....I'm so proud of her! I feel so bad I was so involved in soaking up family time I hardly took any pics, but here are a few from this past weekend in Indy. Love you all!

Khloe is eating cereal & Veggie's now

Ok not too much news to add this week except that we have started Khloe on Veggie's. She tried her first jar of peas and carrots today! She loved both of them, which is great news! I had so much fun watching her experience the peas and carrots for the first time....she made me laugh so hard! Of course she has always been a great eater from day 1 so I wasn't too worried about trying all these new things with her. There are a couple of sweet pics of her eating some oatmeal (I don't think she liked oatmeal so much) and of course I had to get one of her with a messy carrot face...I think mommy needs to work on aiming for her mouth a little better, LOL! I will get the hang of this soon! I have also added a few pics of her jumping in her excer-saucer today while I was talking to Granna on the phone. She is so funny when she is playing in this. Also a couple of pics with Paul's 2nd Cousin Angela (Njoki) who is 16 and so great with Khloe...she had Khloe belly laughing at her. We are just loving every second we get with our little angel! Enjoy the few pics!

Our little Khloe is 4 months old!

Ok so we have a lot of new info to share about our little peanut. She had her 4 month appt. on Tuesday and got her 2nd round of shots. (she is now weighing in at 16 lbs and 26 1/2 inches..90th percentile for height and weight: perfectly proportioned ) She did much better this time, daddy helped to distract her and it worked until the 2nd shot was in her leg then she started to cry. She did run a fever with these shots which was pretty scary for us. The daycare called on Wednesday and said she had a 101.8 temp when I heard that I was grabbing my purse and was out the door to pick her up. She was so lifeless she could hardly muster up a smile when she saw me, her eyes were so glossy it broke my heart. But she is fine now after a few rounds of baby Motrin.
I'm not sure if you can tell from the photos but she is starting to grow more hair on top and it's sort of a light brown color. The Dr. suggested we start her on cereal so we did. We have started with the rice cereal, then this weekend we will move her to the oatmeal, then after a few days we will move her to Barley. From there we can start her on some orange & yellow veggie puree, and see how she does and so and and so forth. It was so cute to see her try the rice cereal from the spoon, her little tongue was rolling around and then she acted as if she was gagging I was laughing so hard!
Paul put together her "exer-saucer which is really neat it has all these different jungle animals and noises when you move or hit the animals. My friend Monika from NY got her that for a baby gift...and she loves it! The first time we put her in it she was mesmerized by all the sounds and lights and objects she was really starring at the animals as if to say "ok, how can I get that in my mouth" She was so content. We have also been trying to give her more tummy time so she can sit better on her own. We got some sweet pictures of her having tummy time tonight. She is also trying to help me hold her bottle most times, it's so cute to watch her try! I have also added a few pics of Khloe in her "K" outfit my sister April got her, it almost looks like a cheerleading outfit on her...ADORABLE! Thanks Aunt April. Oh, for all of her Auntie's out there please take note of what her Purple outfit says!! Love you guys, I will update again soon!
