Talking that Talk AND Walking that Walk

I can't believe that I haven't posted about this sooner, but Thursday April 1, 2010, Chloe took her first whole step. A week later on on April 8, 2010, she took 2 or 3 steps at a time before falling down. Just this weekend, she started walking a bit faster and way more than just 3 steps. She's still pretty wobbly, but doing great! My baby girl is getting so big!

Here's a couple pics of her walking this weekend.


Here we go...


Whoops


Let's try it again...


Look, mom! I did it!

Big D, little d, what begins with D?

As Dr. Seuss's ABC An Amazing Alphabet Book! says:

"BIG D, little d, what begins with D? Doughnuts and a duck-dog. D...d...D"



And apparently a lot more too, or at least that's what Chloe thinks. Just about every word for Chloe begins with D, with the exception of the ones that begin with G and K.
She's learned a few new words since my last post about Chloe talking (it's at the very end for those that don't want to read the whole thing). She can say thank you (da du) and uh oh ("ah ah" in the high, low tone). She can say duck (kuh) and quack (ka ka ka) and dog (ga!). She says dog with such enthusiasm. She absolutely LOVES them. She points to and says "ga!" if we're out and she sees one, and when my mom and dad's dog comes inside she goes on and on, "ga! ga! ga! ga! ga! ga!" She just can't get enough.


Snuggling with her dog. It was mine when I was little, and since she likes dogs so much and we can't have pets at our duplex, I brought it home for her. She loves it.


Dog's nose...


Giving her dog kisses.

Anyway, back to baby talk. Those are the words that Chloe knows what she's talking about when she uses them. She tries to imitate the words we say, but as I was saying at the beginning of the post, they all just come out "da".

She's getting so big. I can't believe that in less than a month, she'll be 1. I'm so excited to see her learn and grow, but it breaks my heart at the same time.

I said to myself, "I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say..." -Psalms 39:1

My Saviour Lives!!

We had a great Easter service at church on Sunday. It was so great to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ with Chloe for the first time. Even though she's still too young to grasp what Easter is all about, we had fun dancing in the back of church to some fantastic music.
I didn't take many pictures, sadly. Just of Chloe in her Easter dress.


She got a new dress and shoes for the occasion.


It was super cute.

She got lots of goodies. A bucket full of her favorite snacks, Easter eggs filled with cheerios, tights, and a new toy from Papi and Nahni, and a big bunny and candy for mommy and daddy from Grandpa and Grandma Savage. Nana Jean got her probably her most favorite thing though. A bunch of Easter themed rubber ducks that she gets for all the kids for different holidays.


This is what she does. She sticks em in her mouth, bites down, and just leaves it like that while she crawls around, plays with the other ducks, or watches tv (like in this picture). Oh by the way, no, I don't let my baby sit in front of the tv all day. She doesn't watch, watch it. She gets distracted by the music on commercials and stuff.



All in all, we had a fantastic Easter.

He's alive, alive, alive. Hallelujah!
Alive! Praise and glory to the Lamb.
