PICTURES!

Well I am on Thomas' computer and it is giving me a run for my money...I don't know how to use the darn thing. So while a blog entry like this would take a little longer than usual this is taking way too long! SO.... this will get me caught up on the pictures I waned to get up, but I can't figure out how to get wording in them this time so the explanation will just be brief and come first! Oi!!!

Below are pictures from the Dino exhibit at Union Terminal, Tyler liked everything but was a little overwhelmed by the T-rex. Then there are pics of Tyler at the pool with Cousin Heather, Uncle JJ and Aunt Sarah. Below that is Great-Grandma Essie and then Thomas trying out the Moby Wrap.

HuGs!

Once a week?

I thought about blogging just once a week for a while until things get more settled but as I am looking through pictures to post....there are a lot and I probably should have done this a little sooner.

First I just want to say that I am mad this picture did not come out clear, because it is hilarious! The second one is funny too but the first is better!

These are just some random Chloe pictures. She is getting big she is almost two months and it is flying by. How sad:( Make note of the mobile in the back. It is one of her favorite things to do right now. The mobile and the tummy tub are the "go-tos" for freak out sessions. These are usually when she is tired and has missed her chance to fall asleep before she gets too tired. Poor girl, then she just starts to freak out that she is still awake. Then into the tummy tub we go and then sit and look at the mobile until she/we fall asleep. It's that simple!

So I think this is it for tonight. Today was a great day. Thomas has made it to the final round for a job in Philly and has been asked to go back one more time for a final interview. So hopefully this will be it! We played today, it rained on our freshly washed car, we played more, and now we are ready for bed! There are a bunch more pictures to come, so check back soon.

HUGS!

Melting...Living the Dream!

Our sweet sweet new family member, Chloe, is all you could ever ask for in a baby! In fact she is a different breed of baby than my first son, Tyler. And I didn't know they made different kinds. They are both louder than most, but Tyler was louder than every baby I have ever heard!! Chloe chooses her cries wisely and does not waste breath on needless screaming. Yes she gets her exercise but once that's over and she has had enough, she really just wants to be left alone...what?!? I know!
Go Chloe, Rock On!!! Your Mom is the same way!

Big Brother Tyler is so ready for his baby to grow up. Every morning he requests to see her so that he can calculate how much bigger she has gotten since the day before. I really think he imagines that one day he is going to wake up and she is finally going to be big already!!!

They grow before my eyes!

Okay, SO... now that the chaos is dying down a bit, lets catch up. I'm tempted to say lets just pretend like nothing has happened but actually some major things have happened.

#1 We have welcomed Chloe Sophia into our world. She was born June 7, at whirlwind speed. Once she decided she was coming there was no stopping her and nine hours later she was here. Welcome lil' biddy!

#2 We moved. We are no longer at West Point but back in our hometown Cincinnati, Ohio. Holy crap what a long drive with a newbie baby and a three year old, but thanks to my mom I survived.

#3 We (my husband) is exiting the military and looking for a job. While we are on a mini vacation, Thomas is also looking for work. Poor guy not much of a vacation for him. Anyway this is stress at it's finest. Looking for a job is not fun. There are worse things out there but this is not fun, and I'm not even the one doing all the work.

So that is it in a nutshell. The big long break I took was to push a baby out and move. Both of which were done by someone else! So until my husband finds a job which will be soon, we will be here in Cincinnati.

And yeah she kinda looks like my mom in that picture:)
