Khloe's 1st trip to the Zoo, 1st Wedding, & 1st car!!

Well guys it has been way too long since our last update, so plan on being overloaded with ALL the new pictures :) We took Khloe' to the Zoo this past weekend and she had a blast! She has really been into animals the past couple of months. We have been working on our Lion "ROAR's" our monkey sounds (hands under the armpits), baby piggy noises, Elephants, cat's & mimicking Giraffe's. The zoo was so much fun for all of us. We saw different animals than we had worked on with her, like tiger's & panda's & kangaroo's. She LOVED the kangaroo's!!! She had a horrible melt down when we tried to leave and walk away from the kangaroo's and onto to the next set of animals. We laughed so hard. Daddy taught her how to jump like a kangaroo while saying "Boing, Boing, Boing"....too cute!
-We took her to her 1st wedding on Aug. 28th to our very good friends Eli & Michelle's wedding. She had a blast running around the lobby back and forth between the reception area and the drinking fountain where she insisted on pushing the bar and sticking her hand in the freezing water just so she could shake her now cold hand and blow on it as if to "cool" it off (priceless!) She did a lot of dancing just not on the dance the floor. She danced in front of our table, and ran around to all the pretty ladies with skirts she wanted to touch & would feel the bottom of their dresses, laugh and start dancing...needless to say, no one was annoyed at such a cute baby feeling on their dress or skirt....I was quite embarrassed at first then I thought..."well
what are you gonna do?" We actually only took 2 or 3 pics of Khloe' from the wedding total.

-Khloe' has acquired a new "car" from my friend Jessica's little kids, which she absolutely LOVES! The first few times we took it for a spin in the neighborhood she was smiling from ear to ear and randomly waving in the air as if she was on a parade float, there was no one around but she just kept waving and smiling. We laughed so hard about this beauty queen in training, where does she get these things??!! OK, guys Enjoy the picture OVERLOAD as I promised earlier!

Such a big girl on a 4 man teeter-toter (sp?) very cool little device in the kiddie play land at the zoo

....So excited to climb the stairs up to the slides all by herself!

Playing some bongo's with another little boy at the zoo!

...This was her from one animal exhibit to the next, she would walk/run as if she was on a mission!

This is her and daddy as she was seriously trying to climb into the kangaroo's living areas, boy was she mad when Daddy would not let her get in there and play with them!!!


Look at this face....she was so mesmerized by all the new animals! (half of which Paul and I had no idea what they were until we read the name plates)

The new baby panda that was born in our Atlanta zoo a few months back (I think?)


This was her, doing the impression of a lion's ROAR, claw and all...too funny!

ADORABLE!

OK, this sweet stare was while we were looking at the Giraffe's, she LOVE's Giraffe's!!!


She wouldn't take her eyes off the Giraffe's, kept pointing and say "Daaaaa" and then would mimic the way a Giraffe moves their neck when they walk.


She was definitely trying to climb over the glass here to get in with the wart hogs (we told her they were pigs, that sound she knows!)

This was right before we left for the zoo, I packed a few essentials in this back pack I got instead of her bulky diaper bag. It was way too heavy for her but since her favorite DORA always wears and says "back pack, back pack" she just had to try and wear it too!

Needless to say she could could hardly stand up with it on....LOL!

She seriously looks like she is ready for school, so sweet!

OK, so all of these pics of her laughing are a little game her and I play. Whenever I am sitting in one of these chairs putting my running shoes on, she climbs up next to me and LOVES to try and push me off or kick me off with her feet...I over dramatically, fall on the floor and roll a couple of times as if she really did push me off and she laughs and laughs, one of those sweet belly laughs that is so contagious!!




I love our new little game, makes me laugh just as hard as she does!!


She is loves her new car! She beeps the horn and makes sure to steer when we act like she will run into a mail box or something...she really thinks she is steering....she definitely gets her love of cars from her Daddy!!!


Look at this face! She was mad when she thought it was time to get out of the car, she pointed at me and shook her little finger (which is what we she does to Maxx when she's telling him "NO") I had to laugh at her. In a few months when she actually tells me "NO", I hope I will be much more serious than I was here! :)


This was a little rocking elephant I got for a steal last month.....$8, great deal!!

Just a random photo, one day trying on her old jacket from last fall to see if it still fit her, she looks so mature here! Couldn't resist sharing this one.

One, not very clear photo daddy took of Khloe' & I at the wedding!

OK....no more I promise that's all I have this time! Thanks for checking in on us...Love you guys!!

Summer Fun days!

Well it seems like this summer has really flown by, we have been having soooo much fun outdoors even as hot as it has been for everyone. We have discovered our local community pool is actually really fun for all of us. They have very kid appropriate slides and sprinkle arches, and water falls, etc. It's the same place we took Khloe' to for her swim lessons back in April. I didn't realize how great it would be for Khloe' until about 3 weeks ago. Paul was off one Tuesday (when it was one of those 95+ degree days and had decided he wanted to take her to the pool, the plan was for me to meet them there but for one reason or another I didn't end up making it there. Khloe' LOVES slides of all kinds and when Paul realized he wasn't allowed to go down them with her it was impossible to let her go down and have no one at the bottom to catch her....she was NOT happy to say the least. So that weekend we all went and she ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! It was sooo much fun to watch her belly laughing as she came down the slide each and every time! I think she must have gone down the two different kiddy slides at least 20-30 times each. Definitely the highlight of our weekends now! We went again today and it never seems to get old to her. Here are a few of her and Paul outside riding on her "lion car" (she loves anything to do with being outside). There are also some of her at the pool on a couple different times, and a few other random ones over the past month. Enjoy everyone!

Here our little dancing queen...."shake, shake your bootie, shake shake your bootie" LOL!

This child is mesmerized by the cartoons "Olivia" or "Dora", not sure which one she was watching here!

Ok, this is hilarious...one Sunday while I was folding laundry Paul started vacuuming...she LOVES the vacuum, and is getting too heavy to hold the whole time so Paul decided to strap her in this baby Bjorn (which we haven't used in over a year...clearly she is quite content, with pink puppy and all!! We laughed so hard at this one!!

This is her new suit/life jacket combo. The bottom of the bikini snaps onto the life jacket and all matches. It's really cute on her!

This is from the day Paul went with her by himself....hopefully you can see the cool slides in the background.

Clearly not happy with Daddy that she couldn't go down the slides...I felt so bad I was not there!

Playing outside on her "Lion Car" which by the way is really supposed to be a push and walk behind toy to teach them to walk....I guess we know what we will need to buy here soon...some sort of a ride on top car, jeep or wagon thing!

She is having a BLAST!!! I think daddy is too!

Look at that smile...could this child be any happier??! :)

Our new daily routine, she loves her books she has been given. Look at how intently she is paying attention! She will continuously bring us one book after another after another until we have read each one about 3-4 times! There is one that is of baby dinosaur's, another with baby farm animals, and jungle babies. She has mastered the baby sheep sound, the baby monkey (hands in the armpits) baby cow, baby pig...she is LOVING the noises we have to make with each one too!

Some new pajamas...no feet. It's just too hot to put her in the other ones...these are adorable I think! Oh btw take a good look at this face, this is the face of a soon to be terrible 2's coming a little too early girlfriend!

Ok, before anyone starts to judge me for being a bad Mom.....I had to share these with you guys. So, everyone knows how she LOVES to share all her food, snacks, etc with anyone who is around. Her new favorite snack is an all fruit, no sugar added popsicle....just look at what is happening in these pictures....I'm warning you these are not for the weak stomachs...

Oh yes she did just share her popsicle with Maxx....look how happy she is to have done this too....Seeing this was like watching a train wreck happen, you want to stop it but can't, and definitely can't stop watching it either...LOL .... hey what are you gonna do!
Ever since she realized Maxx ate too much of her popsicle she doesn't share with him anymore...at least not her popsicles she loves those too much!

And on that note, That's all Folks! LOL...Thanks for checking in on us! Love ya!!
