Chloe updates at one year

Chloe updates at one year...

19lbs 11oz
2' 5" tall

She is in the 27% for weight and 47% for height. She is PERFECT!!!

The kids are recovering from being sick for a little over a week. Poor Anthony had a horrible plane ride home. Belly ache and vomiting isn't a fun ride especially for those sitting around us. Hopefully they all had their earphones on and volumes way up. Chloe had five shots at her one year visit yesterday so she is a little under the weather. Hopefully she gets better for her party on Saturday. :)

Chloe's First Birthday

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY CHLOE BABY!!!









For Chloe's birthday we got her a wedge of brie. Yes, brie! She absolutely loves brie introduced by her lovely Aunt Evelyn!

Thanksgiving in Ohio

We had another wonderful trip back to Ohio. Anthony and Chloe had a blast playing with all of their cousins. It was like a party at Tractor Grandma's house everyday!



We also visited the Children's Museum. What a great place...



And the rainforest at the zoo...



Anthony misses playing with his cousins and Chloe misses her daily dose of hugs and kisses from her cousins.

Thank you Elwells for making our trip so wonderful. XOXOXO

Family photo

We don't get many good family pictures because I am usually the one taking the photos. Here is a great family photo and I thought I would share it with you and also one of Chloe. I was going through baby pictures of myself and Chloe looks exactly like me when I was little. Pretty crazy!

October 2010

What a busy month...Here are some pictures from our weekend with cousins...Halloween parties (Anthony was a giraffe and Chloe was a penguin)...birthday parties...and more Halloween parties...oh and how could I forget, World Series pictures!!! Billy took me to the world series game on Thursday night, what a fun night!!! ENJOY!!! XOXOXO

Busy September

September was a busy month for us. It was full of birthday parties and for some reason all of the pictures I took came out blurry. I think it is because Anthony plays with our camera all the time and probably touched the lens so it probably has his fingerprints all over it. Anyway, I did manage to take some good ones at the pumpkin patch we went to last weekend. Tim Cain was playing there and he is a big hit with the kids...

See you in Ohio for Thanksgiving!!! We can't wait!!! XOXOXO

Great memories...

One of the greatest things about being a mother is seeing your two kids make each other laugh. Anthony and Chloe absolutely adore each other and it's a great joy to watch them play and laugh together. Today while I was cooking Anthony and Chloe were playing under our kitchen table and for about twenty minutes all I hear is the two of them laughing hysterically. It was the most fun I have ever had while cooking! It was so amusing!!!

New Updates

Bath time fun...



Chloe's first time at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. She absolutely loved it. Check out that big smile...

Day at Grandpa and Grandma's house with my cousins...

Cousin Corey's first and cousin Shelby's second birthday party...

Chloe's 9 month checkup stats...

18.2 lbs
26.5 inches

and eats EVERYTHING!!!

We just started sleep training Chloe two nights ago and she is doing good. I went from getting up every two to three hours to sleeping through the night, two nights in a row! Now I have to work on Anthony. Anthony is mobile and can get in and out of bed by himself...Any advice out there?

Baby updates!!!

Anthony can now ride a bike all by himself. A bike with training wheels of course! He can't quite steer the bike but he can finally pedal by himself. I find him concentrating on pedaling that he forgets about steering. We will work on that! I am so proud of him now he can ride around the neighborhood with the other kids! Bill is on a business trip so I don't have video of it but when he gets back I will upload a video for your enjoyment!

Chloe's first tooth has pierced through and I think a bunch more are on their way! Many more sleepless nights for mommy!!!

Pioneer Park with the kids

Day at the wineries

Billy and I got away for the day and enjoyed our time at the wineries. What a beautiful and fun day!

Videos of Chloe talking

Check out these videos of Chloe talking...I love it!!!

Our visit to Ohio

What a great trip! Anthony and Chloe could not get enough of their cousins, wonderful Aunties, and of course Grandma! On the way back to San Francisco Anthony kept asking for Grandma and wanted to kiss Auntie Nana (Natalie)! Thank you all so much for making our trip so wonderful! We love and miss you all!

Anthony loves his sister!!!

Here are some random photos from playdates, Billy's birthday, and Anthony showing love for his sister.
