Thanksgiving

This is how Chloe dressed herself for Thanksgiving Dinner at Gramie's and Grandpa's!  She spent the day twirling in her tutu! The big news she reported to us on the phone was that Jayden fell in the lake at Gramie's and her friend Peyton (at day care) was going to 'Abraska where they have lots of corn.'  She had a visit from Aunt Jenny, Uncle Dave and Peyton which topped-off the day with gifts and more attention.  Wyatt also had a fun day of being fed and held.  He downs his bottles and then really doesn't like to be put down anywhere.  Chloe seems to enjoy petting baby brother and enjoys her independence while mom is busy.  She entertains herself or slips off to her room and appears with a selected change of clothes.  She eats better with less prompting and prides herself on needing no help in the bathroom.  On thanksgiving day, she told us that she was thankful for baby brother, momie and dad.  The day before when asked what she was thankful for, she replied myself!  I think mom must have worked with her on the appropriate response!  It certainly isn't difficult for me to know who I'm thankful for!!

 

I wish Great Grandmother Mur could see this.  She would have loved everything about it!

Several times while playing with her baby, Chloe was overheard asking baby, "Why are you a fuss bucket??"

It happened today...Chloe took a dollar to Target and got to select something.  She picked out a cute stuffed puppy dog and proudly gave the cashier her dollar bill.  A shopper is born!

Wyatt slept through the Razorback game.  WOW is he ever smart!!!

 Wyatt is thriving!  At two weeks old he was over 8 pounds!  Tomorrow he will celebrate his life of three weeks and obviously more weight gain.  Chloe is enjoying her role as big sis and all the attention it brings to her.  She has become more independent because she is not willing to "wait" until mom or dad have time to meet her many demands.  She's become quite a snappy dresser now that she goes to her room and selects her own clothes.  The other night she grinned while admitting the nightgown she had selected was from the dirty clothes basket!!  She continues a busy life of school, gymnastics and therapy.  She continues to amaze us with her vocabulary and story-telling ability!

Eyes open and smiling!

Sparkly Nails!

Chloe LOVES Halloween

Chloe the ballerina danced and twirled her way through the downtown trick or treat area.  She was quite elated to go home with a pumpkin full of candy.  Wyatt, our cute little carrot top just snoozed through all the excitement.  Chloe went out to a few neighbors houses and then was in charge of answering the door to visiting trick or treaters.  That didn't go too well as she didn't think giving candy away was much fun!  She was so pumped up on sugar that when we face-timed with her, she couldn't stand still.  Her arms were swinging and her feet were tapping!  What a fun day!  Wyatt had a good report from his first doctor visit and is doing very well.  Ohhhhh he is such a dear little blessing!!!
