These first two pics are for you Joy! For those of you who love the simplicity of the humor in Nacho Libre, you will love the little pants that came with the video. They fit like a glove…NOT! I had to make sure she had a full belly and was content before trying to put these little pants on.
“I am , I am….I am I am….”
To continue our movie theme post. These next two pictures remind me of a line in Dumb and Dumber. “Look at the butt on that…..yeah (s)he must work out!”
Oh Chloe, how I love those thigh rumples…they are my absolute favorite feature on her..next to her big elf eyes! These thighs are so kissable!!!!
Yet another onesie creation by mom. How cute is she? I ask you….
Today she leaped to a new developmental front. She pushed up on her own and turned her head side to side. I mean is she a genius or what. Ryan claims his sperm is just that strong. I was a clapping fool at this feat and of course, had to capture it on film. How obnoxious am I getting with these pictures. Who is this new Kelly?
and finally, the classic “deer in the headlights” photo. I have a million of these…but this one is from Tuesday…which is much different than Mondays 
I need to get a grip.
I think I have to take these cute pictures of her during the day because our nights are so crazy. She was up from 3-5am last night. She even cried a few times. I had a mini-breakdown at 4:30am not knowing what she wanted. No position would calm her or settle her. UGH…where is Chloe from week one…bring her back! I do have a sling. I got it on Sunday. Today I put her in it today to try and settle her down. She actually took a one hour nap in it while I folded laundry. I tried to put her down in the bassinet twice, in the sling, but she awoke immediately…RATS! She fell asleep in the sling again 2 hours later and this time I snuck her into the bassinet where she is still sleeping 2 hours later! We have had a MUCH better day today. I even have real clothes on and make-up, did laundry, dishes and made the beds. WOW, I am a new woman. Now if only we could get over this middle of the night hump…..send a prayer up for us!
She is such a cutie! Love the thighs - they are so darn cute and squeezable LOL
I thought the sling was the most valuable purchase we made, babies just love them
What a little doll! I love the pictures, keep ‘em coming!
And this is exactly why you guys will always be near and dear to our hears…anyone who can laugh at their own child being smushed into stretchy pants are friends of ours! Love it!
Yay for make-up and real clothes! Ya know, it really is the simple things in life. I don’t think I wore make-up and real clothes for the whole 12 weeks I was off of work…except for when I went to church. Aren’t baby legs the best? They’re so fun to squeeze
Oh those middle of the nights - no fun. But yeah for you!! All dressed up and all. You are doing well man!
I have thigh rumples too and I’m 56!
I LOVE it! sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room - it’s for fun.. I know we have soo become “those moms” blogging about our little precious bundles. i mean i have nothing else to talk about! love you Chloe and Kelly! cute onesie! love the homemade goods!
Another great post! Love the pictures. I took a TON everyday at first, and now 7 weeks later I still take TONS. Enjoy your little Chloe. And I love the sling too, but my back hurts if I wear mine too long.
I’m still digging the mohawk.
first, i’d like to point out that you said your daughter has ELF eyes. kelly….what the…?
second, i didn’t wanna tell you when you were bragging but donna marie and i had a chat the other day about how babies are often very quiet at 1st and sleep a lot and THEN turn into NORMAL babies who wake up a lot. argh. it’s like a tease. but, i didn’t wanna warn you. i wanted you to enjoy the time. dang.
third, i’d like to point out that a little VINO in her bottle couldn’t hurt as a (cough) sleep aid.
the end.
Hi Kelly, I followed the links from Elizabeth’s blog. I really enjoyed reading through your blog and I was moved by your story. Chloe is GORGEOUS! I hope she starts sleeping for you though
