Our Chloe

Look at that face! I've been loving watching our little Chloe's personality come through, even as she imitates her big sister at every turn. She is very physical: she will jump on me from behind without warning, almost knocking the wind out of me! She constantly has bruises and cuts on her face from jumping off the bed, the chair, the couch. She's also very loving and nurturing. She loves playing with her baby dolls, and pretending that I'm her baby so she can take care of me. I could stare at her beautiful face forever! I don't want her to grow up. Although most people (including her daddy) think of her as strong-willed, I've found that she's actually very willing to obey, as long as I calmly explain and occassionally distract her (with exceptions, of course, especially if she hasn't had a nap!). I love my Chloers.

Wow she's getting SO big! I still picture her as being the same age as when we met up at Jantzen Beach last year! I wish I knew your kids better.... She sounds a little bit like Cameron. He is VERY opinionated and starting to really want things his way, but if I get down to his level and explain, he is usually pretty easy-going about the situation. How funny!

She IS such a beautiful girl. I love the moments when we (moms) feel so much love for our children. Love it! That was a cute post about Maddy too! Funny! I enjoyed conference much as you did, in my PJ's. Yea! Miss you!
