Wow, time sure has flown by . . .


On this day one year ago, we were in Taiwan meeting Chloe for the very first time. It is in many ways hard to believe she has been a part of our family for a year and in other ways it seems she has been with us forever. She is so like all of us in many different ways. Chloe has been a true blessed addition to our family. She has changed so very much this past year.

+She did not want anything to do with Jonathan AT ALL!! She screamed bloody murder whenever he walked into the room. Today, she has a huge tantrum because Jonathan was leaving without her.
+She talks constantly. She was playing with bubbles today and blew one herself. She said, "I did it!!" Jonathan put her int he shower the other night and before he got back she had gotten out and said, "I done daddy" and was running out of the bathroom.
+She eats everything that we put in front of her. In fact, she would prefer to eat all day and all night. She'll even sneak in to the snack drawer and eat whatever she finds.
+Although she is physically a girl, she has no issues hanging with her brothers and doing what they do. She gets right on the floor to wrestle with them. One day they were heading out into the woods and there she goes right behind them. She uses sticks for guns just like them. She would rather play with the Hot Wheels than her baby dolls.
+She is spoiled rotten by everyone. She was on the trampoline and started screaming to get off. ALL 3 boys ran to her like there was a fire. They got her down and went back to playing. Less than 2 minutes later, she screamed even more because she wanted to get back on and again they all came running. She knows daddy will give her whatever she wants so she asks him for everything. I guess being spoined rotten is not so bad especially from her angle.
+She is an independent, head strong little girl. She wants to do things for herself and she wants it done HER way. And she's only 2--boy we are scared of the future with her.
+She is a jumping machine. She will jump all around a room or climb up on chairs, couches, stools, anything and jump off. The other night she even jumped and then flipped.
+She is already missing a tooth. You'll have to go back to read about that story.
+She loves to look at books and listen to music. She will dance to all music even a phone ringing.
+She not only bows her head for the blessing, she will even say it some nights. And she always says "Amen".


Chloe is a wonderful little girl who is very loved. We cannot imagine life without her. She has blessed us and others around her in more ways than we can count. I can't wait to see what the next year will hold:)) We love you Chloe Mei-Ling Davis!!

What a cutie! It is hard to imagine she's only been here a year. But of course she has the boys doing her bidding, she is her mother's daughter.
