sweet sweet sweet... POTATOES

Chloe had sweet potatoes for the first time tonight. She wasn't too sure about them, but it was also like that with the rice cereal the first time, so I'm sure she'll like them after a few days.

"Oatmeal, oatmeal. Same old oatmeal."


"Oh, wait... that's not what I thought it was going to be!"


"I'm not so sure about this stuff, dad."


Playing on photoshop is my new favorite thing to do... if you couldn't tell by the doctored pictures I've been posting.

5 Months Old

Chloe turns 5 months old today! Because mommy likes to follow all the "rules" and the doctor says after she's been on cereal for about a month she can move onto vegetables, Chloe will have her first taste of her orange vegetables tonight. Our choices are between Sweet Potato, Carrots, and Squash I believe. We'll probably go with sweet potatoes first because that's daddy's favorite (the only vegetable he'll eat). How it works is we try one vegetable at a time, each one a few times before moving on to the next to better detect any allergies she may have. I'll post pictures later and let you know how she liked it!


Chloe found her feet and now they are her new favorite toy!




She sure loves her daddy!


My sweet, blue eyed baby :-)

Sittin' Pretty

Chloe just had her 4 month check up yesterday (my how time flies). She weighed in 14 lbs. 7 ounces and is 24.5 inches long. She got 4 shots AND an oral vaccine. She handled probably better than I did though. I was worried cause last time she got shots she had a binky and it still took a while for her to calm down. But this time she was fine as soon as I was able to pick her up... until we put her in the car seat of course.
Dr. Beck says once she's been on rice cereal for about a month she can start her orange vegetables, then green, then fruits, so we're pretty excited for that! The next time we go the store I want to get her some oatmeal to see how she likes that.

We've been working on sitting up, and she will for a few seconds by supporting herself with her arms. Here's a picture of the first time she did it. It's dark because I took it with my phone and unless there's a ton of light in the room, the pictures turn out dark.



I tried fixing it a little on photoshop, but I have no idea what I'm doing and Kris wasn't here to fix it for me. But it does look better than it did to begin with, so it works.
