ONE MONTH!!

Wow, today makes one whole month since we met Chloe!! It is really hard to believe it has only been a month in some ways and in others it still seems like yesterday. In just a month, all of our lives have changed, BUT, Chloe has had to deal with the biggest changes. Check out some of these "changes":


*She has adjusted to 3 big brothers and as some of you know that is a BIG adjustment.
*She has gone swimming (sort of ) in the lake.
*Chloe has had her first strawberries!!
*She has eaten ice cream, it seems, almost everyday since she has been home.
*She wears pink almost everyday!
*She barely ever beats her head anymore.
*She sleeps in a big girl bed.
*She dumped the bottle in favor of a sippy cup thanks to her friend Isaiah:)
*She attended her first yard sale Saturday.
*Chloe rode in a wagon pushed and pulled by her brothers -- we are very surprised
she came out of that with no scratches.

These are only a few of her new adventures. At just think all of this in a month!! Just imagine what the next year will be like:)

Seriously though, Chloe is such a joy to have. She has such a cute smile and her laugh is contagious. I love to watch her light up when she sees her brothers and how she wants mom when she needs something. When I first get her up in the morning, she cuddles close to me and just lays her head down to snuggle. It is neat to see how she studies her daddy. Even though she doesn't want him to mess with her, she watches everything he does with a big intensity. This has been a wonderful month and we can't wait to see how she continues to grow and change.

I can't believe it's been a month already. Seems like you were just posting you were leaving to get her yesterday. I stop by your blog everyday (yes, I am an adoption blog junkie :)
I'm so happy to see the new post and pictures!
