I guess I'll try crawling after all...

Chloe had a special note on her report card today - crawling!  We assumed she was going to skip it, since she's never shown much interest.  She's been pulling up for a couple weeks now, and cruising in her play area, but no crawling.  Obviously something changed her mind today, and she figured it out.  Yay, Chloe!

Spaghetti!

Visiting with the Behms, Chloe had her first encounter with spaghetti.  Fun and messy times, for sure.  Poppy stood by, happy to perform clean up duties.  Great idea from Melissa to strip her down to the diaper to facilitate the post-meal wipe down!

Don't Stand On Your Head....

the phone flips the screen every time you tilt a fraction of an inch, but apparently can't let you know when you're holding it on the wrong side...whoops. 

ANYWAY....here is Chloe pulling up for the first time!!!

Bake Me a Cake!

Looks like she's ready to start helping out in the kitchen!

Pirate baby??

This is why professional photographers charge so much :)
